| Abstract | The use of live instrument recordings in modern day studios is becoming an archaic form of pop music production. With the advancement of digital technology, pop songs are being produced using different digital sound banks and plug ins that have been developed over time. Today nearly anyone can make music even if they do not know how to play an instrument. ❧ Instead of paying various musicians to record live sounds for a record, now one person can compile digital sounds within a computer program and create an instrumental track without ever having to pick up a physical instrument, making their ability to play instruments obsolete. Instead of hosting recording sessions in million dollar studios, everything can now virtually be done from a small studio apartment. The use of digital sound also sounds aesthetically different from a live instrument. ❧ The purpose of this story is to discuss the impact of digital technology on the music industry by exploring the opinions and thoughts of various working music industry professionals who are striving to keep the use of live instruments in their work. The story will explain how advances in technology have affected jobs in the music industry as well as examine the quality and difference between digitally produced songs and songs that were made by recording live instrument players. ❧ Dominic Messinger, Joshua Gudwin, Jonathon “JM Beatz” Malone, Adam Messinger, Nasri Atweh, Vic De Leon and Mark Cole, are all music industry professionals who have worked as either an engineer, producer, writer or composer. Through their work, thoughts and experiences the importance and definition of musicianship is explored. |
