As studio audio production gained momentum and became more and more popular and advanced, it then became desirable to record all the separate instruments and human voices separately in order to mix them down to just one, two, or much more speaker channels later, rather than in a real time environment in the studio before going for recording. In addition to allowing the recording engineers and producers to experiment with all different mixing arrangements, effects, etc. on the similar performance and for producing multiple versions of a recording (without having too many duplicates of all the studio control room equipment which are used for mixing), multi-tracking enables the proper use of real-time effects or effects that are difficult and impossible be produced in the same studio where all the musicians perform. Reel-to-reel recorders are eventually built with eight, sixteen, twenty four, and even thirty two tracks, and as many heads recording synchronized these parallel linear tracks. Some of these machines were much larger than a laundry washing machine and they are used tape as wide as about 2 inches. A new single reel of 1inch or wider tape, blank, can easily cost over $100, to $200. But still, in professional studios, most of the tapes were recorded only once, and all recording was done on new tape, to ensure maximum quality, as studio time and as the time of skilled musicians was much higher than the normal cost of tape.
