What Is
Music Technology & Recording?
The 21st century has ushered in a revolution in how music is created and consumed. The average music listener has more songs available to them on their phone than the most devoted collector could’ve accumulated in a lifetime. A songwriter with a MacBook computer has more studio tools available to them for FREE than a million dollar studio could provide only 20 years ago.
The challenge is to utilize these tools to rise above the noise.
