Engineering career in Digital Music September 19, 2007

  • When you listen to music, do you know with complete certainty that the music was created the old fashioned way with musical instruments or digitally created in a lab?
  • How can you tell the difference?
  • Why would you like to or not like to have an engineering career in digital music creation?
  • Do you think the rock stars of the future will have engineering degrees? Why or why not?
  • When I listen to music I listen carefully to see if the beats were made the old-fashioned or if they were made digitally. Almost all of techno songs are made digitally. Most band songs are made manually with instruments. Some even add digital beats to the music to make it sound better. When the sound is digitally made it sounds that “unreal” or strange sound. It repeats some things and makes others sound better. When it has been made with instruments it sounds “real” or saying  that it sounds as if you have heard it before. I would not have an engineering career in digital music because I am not interested in making music. In the future probably rock stars will have degrees because they may start using digital sounds in their music  and will need to have to have degrees to do this.
