Abstract:

Music production can be done by using either analog or digital recording systems. Both systems provide almost the same quality of the songs but the digital recording system requires less investment costs. The Information technology (IT) is playing a major role in the digital music production. IT helps musicians to produce the songs with more support and more flexible functions that are easier to use. Instead of using a number of devices as in the analog recording system, the computer hardware and software can be used to record the sound and store it for later operations, such as editing, mixing, mastering, and transferring it to other applications,. In digital recording systems, since the sound is being sampled and recorded to the hard drives, its processing will be much faster when compared to the analog systems that require sequential processing. Nowadays, most of the recording studios are replacing their analog recording systems by digital recording systems for being less expensive and more flexible.
