We can list out herewith some relevant industry jobs such as
Recording, Radio, Television and other Media, Working live shows and tours,
Music Retailing and Instrument Repairing, Education and Instruction and many
more. Among them, the recording industry is one that has been applying high-end
technologies for many years.
The recording industry commenced at the start of the 20th
century, when publishers of sheet music dominated the music business. With a
quick development pace, recording industry gradually dominated and controlled
the music industry. This is the kind of mass-production copies’ business that
can fix the price in the market.
To be the priority in the effervescent market of recording,
what can they do? – Reducing the price? – Noisy brand-name advertising? – Or
investing in technological upgrading of products and services? Of course,
though technologies change very fast every day, people still make the choice of
high-tech applications as the best way to affirm their positions in the music
market.
Regarding recording industry, we consider that this is not
only a technical but also a creative career. High-end technology is useful for
both sides of this job. Recording engineer definitely must be technically
skilled with the equipment. They must manipulate skillfully with all the
buttons or knobs to get the correct sound that the artist or the producer want
to have. A good microphone is necessary in the first step to begin with the
recording process. And then, with the instruments, they find out the expected
sounds – not music. The recording engineer, finally, will make the adjustments
to enhance the music, morph, add effects… Some years ago, in order to do these
steps, they had to resort to many equipment. In this case, the results obtained
take a lot of the engineers’ time and labor. However, today, thanks to the
development of high-end technologies, recording engineer can apply modern
equipment to make their work easier and more professional. One simple example,
with a PC and some installed music morpher, music editor softwares, they can
mix and edit music like a skilled recording engineer.
In the other side of this job, creativity is also very
important. Music industry is a very specific one that requires creativity. The
recording engineer must have the feeling, the sense of music that can create
different and unique sounds that express music in the best way. With the same
song recorded by two engineers, we have two ways to express the music which
depend on the creativity of the recording workers. The recording engineer can
apply some intelligent softwares specialized to perform a good job. Sometimes,
just by adding a wave sound, increasing the frequency or reducing the noise of
the music, we have colored up the recordings.
More and more recording engineers believe in the important
role of high-end technologies for their career. They are willing to spend money
on equipment, modern music editor or music morpher softwares to support their
work. Some people pay up to thousands of dollars for their recording studios,
but some know how to save money. They find out the efficient softwares that can
work properly as a mixer, an editor with very competitive price from $30 to
$100. They know how to update their “companion” by frequently downloading the
latest effects or supporting programs. By this way, high-tech supports for both
professional recording studios and some home recording studios.
“A war is happening, not the Iraq war, but the high-tech
war”. However, we will not perish in this war if we know how to use and control
technologies for our purposes. Holding in hand the weapons of music softwares,
we will be the unique winner, the best one in the running of entertainment
industry, especially recording industry.
