The Voice Of Adolf Hitler In The 1930's

For as long as we can remember, people have been communicating using their voices. Today this has not changed; however how those voices are heard, where they can be heard and by whom has changed drastically. What at one time was limited to only what was being said or written, at the time it was being documented and only heard or read by those in the immediate vicinity; can now be heard by anyone, anywhere in the world at any time.

Multitracking leaves no room for error and a perfect product. It also leaves open the possibility for future remixes, different versions and/or clean edits of the song. As technology has come further along, most musicians use digital recording supported by computers to
