DTRS recorders introduced digital multitrack recording using compact video cassette media adapted for audio storage. Emerging during the 1990s, Hi8-based systems provided an alternative to other digital tape formats and played a role in the evolution of project studio recording.
This archive includes DTRS digital recording machines used in professional and semi-professional environments. These systems bridged the gap between analogue tape workflows and later hard disc and solid state recording platforms, contributing to the transition toward fully digital production.
