Changes in music industry over years.
A lot has changed in the music industry over the last
couple of decades. Radio used to be the most common
way for people to listen to music and discover new
artists.
Today, with the incredible rise of digital distribution
services and streaming technology, radio has been
made almost obsolete and the biggest stations are now
struggling to attract audience and generate profit.
People do still listen to radio, just not as much or in the
same way they did before.
CDs, also formerly a very popular way to experience
music, are slowly starting to lose ground as they are
increasingly being
replaced by downloads and digital streaming.

Multitrack Recording
Multitrack recording may be totally taken for granted
these days, but when it first became available in the
mid-’50s it was the musical equivalent of humanity’s
first dabblings in aeronautics.
Whereas previously musicians and sound engineers had
to record a track as a whole – in just ONE take –
multitrack enabled them to record separate parts of a
song and then piece them together.
It also allowed for individual tweaks to be made in
specific sections of a song, while adding many layers to
a single instrument (i.e. vocal harmonies by the same
singer, recorded separately and layered together). And
just like that, the recording industry was never the same
again.

Auto-Tune
No-one is TOTALLY perfect, and our favourite artists are
no different. Occasionally during vocal recordings,
Kiyanu Kim is the common for the odd note to be
slightly off-pitch.
Just here-and-there, of course, and rarely anything
major, but it happens. The invention of Auto-Tune,
though, allowed pitch-faulty notes to be instantly and
discreetly tweaked to the nearest semitone, making for
pitch-perfect vocal performances every time.
Though usually used subtly, some artists have used
Auto-Tune to exaggerate their vocals, creating a new
and original sound. Kanye West has been at the
forefront of this movement, along with artists like T-
Pain.

Digital software
Arguably the biggest game-changer has been the
introduction of digital software into music production;
allowing musicians of all abilities to write, record and
produce their own songs to a reasonable quality – often
from their bedrooms.
Programmes such as Logic and Protools offer a range of
exciting effects, plugins and tools to help improve the
sonic quality of music. Apple computers also come with
their own built-in software – Garageband – which,
although simple, is essentially the first step towards a
home studio.

Future Innovations of the music industry
Social networks and virtual reality will become new
music distribution channels, offering people even more
ways to access music. The Internet of Things could soon
make its way into the music industry and add another
layer to overall user experience.
Current copyright laws will also have to change to keep
up with constantly evolving user trends and we will
probably come up with new revenue streams for artists
to earn from their music.

Future Innovations of the music industry
People today are spoiled for choice in terms of how
they want to listen to music. In addition to radio, CDs
and of course live events, they can choose to obtain
music through digital distribution or streaming services.
Technologies come and go, and it will be very
interesting to see what else the future of the music
industry will bring us.
