  1. Digital Audio Workstations: A Revolution in Sound Joseph Rosser Comm 115 Joseph Rosser

  2. I decided on this topic because… • Music has always been a top priority in my life • My band uses a digital audio workstation to record and edit our own music • The creation of these home recording studios has made more music available to more listeners Joseph Rosser

  3. This is what I had found… • DAW’s are extremely cheap • DAW’s are extremely accessible • Many indie/experimental bands refuse to deal with corporate record labels, therefore release material recorded with DAW’s • DAW’s have completely changed the recording industry Joseph Rosser

  5. Effects on the Industry(In Corporate Eyes) • From the corporate view DAW’s have interrupted a pre-established, fine tuned system • The DAW almost completely bypasses the need for a record label, except for the mass distribution of music, which can sometimes be done without labels • More access to technology=less money for the bigwigs and paper pushers Joseph Rosser

Black Emperor and more seldom known such as Wolf Eyes or Nautical Almanac have used DAW’s Joseph Rosser

  7. I say… • I am glad that technology has made music more available to people • The artist should be in control of their sound, not a man wearing a suit in a 60th floor suite • This also adds a higher level of creativity to the music, making it much better and much more enjoyable Joseph Rosser

  8. To sum it up • DAW’s provide a simple way to accomplish the complex task of recording and editing music. • DAW’s make music much more available and affordable • Record labels do not agree with the use of DAW’s privately • Many newer artists use DAW’s to aid them in the creative process Joseph Rosser

  9. Any Questions ??? Joseph Rosser
