A student recently asked me about the difference between music production equipment that was used thirty years ago when compared to todays gear. A quick search at an online music store will tell you that now we are greatly influenced by the digital age. Music is recorded digitally instead of using an analog method.
The huge advantage to this is that now music can be easily recorded in a living room or a basement rather than a huge room in a building that allows gigantic mixing consoles and recording gear to fit into it. Perhaps this also explains why more good and bad music is being created. The music that is created through digital technology sound clearer, crisper, and more compressed.
For those who want to see firsthand what the difference is, visit the music production equipment category of an online music store. There will be many options to choose from.
