Music is an interesting and complex concept. How do you
define something so vast and infinite? According to Wikipedia, “music is an art
form whose medium is sound and silence.“ One person’s definition of music would
probably be different than another person’s definition, but everyone would
agree that music and the music business has gone through a change of epic
proportion. The way it is produced, edited, recorded, mastered, mixed and other
aspects have drastically shifted. If you wanted to make some music a few years
ago you might consider buying some time at a recording studio. This can be very
expensive depending on what studio you want to go to, how much time you need,
or how much work you want done. In today’s digital age you could spend the
money you would have spent at a studio to buy your own equipment. You can
actually buy most of the equipment for a home studio at a reasonable price
online or at your local music store. This equipment may not be professional
studio quality but it can definitely get the job done. You can also buy Digital
Audio Workstations (DAWs), which are software designed to record, edit, and
playback digital audio. This puts you in
total control to turn the sounds from your head into a real piece of music. The
fact that producing and editing music is so accessible today adds a creative
sense to society. It means that an average Joe can simply purchase some
software or equipment and begin to create songs.
