In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs Nowadays, it can take months and months Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for
example, the voice Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars,
drums and so on
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments
until they get the sound that they want This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very
different from a live concert
Trang 4Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of
music A computer can analyse a singer’s voice Then if you give the computer the lyrics and

record one song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice Singers
can sing new songs many years after they have died

same as soap powder When a record company finds a new group (or ‘band’), they first try to
develop the band’s ‘profile’ They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will
attract young people Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the
band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play

the big companies are too commercial
