The Impact Of Technology On The Recording Studios

In Walter Van Tilburg Clark's "The Portable Phonograph," the music played by Dr. Jenkins symbolizes memories, both painful and pleasant. Demonstrated through the kind handling of records, emotional response to hearing the pieces, and Dr. Jenkins' later concern of theft, it can be concluded that memories, and the musical pieces which symbolize them, are extremely important.

The interviews conducted in this study provided further insights into the effects of digitization and the future of the recording industry. Both respondents measured positively in knowledgeability, credibility, impartiality, willingness to respond, and lack of outside constraints. In terms of overall reliability, the key informants interviewed were considered “good” informants overall.

From one form of media to another, another treasure is music. A record player belongs in the capsule to represent the art of music. My generation is greatly influenced by the music listened to today. Music grants the ability for today’s people to

In addition to cost, another factor that computers introduced was a faster pace of life. Faster forms of media birthed the creation of T. V. networks such as MTV and VH1 to carry popular music at an incredible rate to viewers. A majority of pop music artists in the last decade have one thing in common: their fame rose and declined faster than high school relationships. Faster life means a demand to have better quality music, with low cost, with people who were not focusing on music as an art, but as a way to get thousands of teen females screaming their name. Musicians have to export larger quantities of music which is current and within the boundaries of trends.

As John Philip Sousa wrote in The Menace of Mechanical Music, my assertion is that mechanical music has negatively changed the music industry. The ability to record music with machines has replaced the buying of cheaper instruments in the home, the ease of machine music as eliminated emotions from music, and recording has made copying music even easier while lacking clear copyright laws. First, mechanical machines used to play and listen to music has caused a decreasing number of cheaper instruments to be sold to households. While once families would buy pianos, guitars, violins guitars, mandolins, and banjos leading to an increasing number of teachers, machines have replaced this tradition (Sousa 280). Due to new technology and ability for

There are countless ways how technology has changed both the music industry and the radio. This has been a controversial issue debating whether this impact is positive or negative.

However it is important to be able to prove that you are the sole owner of you work. This can be achieved by storing a copy of your work with a solicitor or by uploading parts of songs or ideas to servers such as you tube thus showing evolution in your work.

In 1948 the vinyl record was born when Columbia Records introduced the 12-inch microgroove LP (long-playing) recorded at 33-1/3rmp and pressed in vinyl. This important moment in history took place in the city of New York. The vinyl record thrived for generations and with the appearance of the rock-and-roll era its popularity expanded. This expansion led to a turning point within the music industry the birth of the Hi-Fi era and the industry that rose to meet its challenges.

The last major technological breakthrough that Frith discusses is the invention of magnetic tape. Magnetic tape was such a huge leap in recording technology, because of the control it now gave artists within the studio. This new tape allowed for artists to splice, dub, cut, and recording multiple track on a tape. This gave artists complete control over their pieces of art. No longer were they restricted by what they could perform live.

However, modern technology has made it possible to package many of the features of large recording studios into small digital recording consoles, which amateur musicians can afford.  The price of one of these consoles, the Tascam Digital Portastudio 788, at Musiciansfriend.com, is $899.99 [1].  This console, although seemingly expensive, is much more cost-effective than paying for an entire studio, and can achieve nearly the same results.  The real benefit of a digital recording console, however, is the creative control it bestows upon musicians.  Instead of having a producer who dictates how the recording should sound, the musician becomes the producer, giving him complete control over all aspects of the composition.  Additionally, because of the cost of studio recording, a musician's time in the studio is usually limited.  However, with a personal digital recording console, one can freely experiment with new ideas without time constraints.  While this unmediated recording environment theoretically provides an artist with unlimited creative flexibility, it also allows for detrimental misuse in the form of non-original composition, which can negate the creative possibilities of this new artistic process.

The advancement of technology has had a major role in changing the culture of music since 1945.
