A hard disk recorder is a type of recording system that utilizes a high-capacity hard disk to record digital audio or digital video. Hard disk recording systems represent an alternative to more traditional reel-to-reel tape or cassette multitrack systems, and provide editing capabilities unavailable to tape recorders. The systems, which can be standalone or computer-based, typically include provisions for digital mixing and processing of the audio signal.
Prior to the 1980s, most recording studios utilized analog multitrack recorders, typically based on reel-to-reel tape. During the 1980s and 90s, companies like New England Digital began to include hard disk recording capabilities in their high-end systems. The high cost and limited capacity of these solutions limited their use to large recording studios, and even then, they were usually reserved for specific applications such as film post-production.
