This document discusses the impact of auto-tune technology on the music industry. It describes how auto-tune was invented and how it allows correction of pitch in singing. While initially used to hide off-key singing, auto-tune became popular with many artists in the late 1990s and 2000s and is now easily accessible through apps. However, some argue auto-tune has negatively impacted the music industry by covering up artists' true vocal abilities and "killing real music". The document also discusses how music distribution technologies like CD players, MP3 players, and iTunes have shaped how audiences consume music.

Music has been a source of entertainment, inspiration, and emotion for generations. However, in recent years, music has started to take a backseat to other forms of entertainment. In this blog post, we will explore the decline of music as our main source of entertainment and look at the new sources of musical inspiration and expression that have been gaining popularity. We will also discuss the future of music consumption and engagement and how technology is changing the way we interact with music.
Music has always been an integral part of human culture, and this is especially true in the digital age. With the advancement of technology, the way we experience music has changed drastically. In this blog post, we will explore the impact of technology on music performance, the new ways we can experience music in the digital age, and the resurgence of live music events. By the end of this post, you should have a better understanding of the current state of live music and what the future may hold.
2. A wide range of technologies have been used to enhance the effect of
the way music is experienced in the music industry. Some
technologies are used more often than others.
Auto-tune, which was invented by Dr Andy Hildebrand, allows the
user to correct the pitch of their own voice in order to hide off-key
singing. The first song to use Auto-tune was ‘Believe’ by Cher in
1998. However, Auto-tune has become popular with many of today’s
artists, such as: T-Pain, Akon, Rebecca Black and Maroon 5.
Auto-tune has also been accessible to the public via a free app called
‘I am T-Pain’. This app allows you to auto-tune your own voice. This
shows how easy it is for anyone to use auto-tune and how much of an
accessible feature it has become.
Artists aren’t the only people who Auto-tune themselves. Auto-tune is
used on a wide range of videos to turn normal speech into
professional sounding music. Nick Clegg – I’m Sorry (Auto-tune):

3. Auto-tune has become somewhat welcomed and encouraged in
the music industry. It also encourages the audience to make their
own music using Auto-tune. One example would be Rebecca
Blacks – ‘Friday’.
However, despite the positive outcome of Auto-tuned
music, many artists and audience members argue that Auto-tune
has caused ‘The death of real music’. Jay-Z shares his views in a
song called Death of Auto-tune whereas T-Pain is known for his
heavy usage of the tech.
Artists who frequently use Auto-tune are said to be able to
‘delude’ the audience by covering up off-key notes which allows
them to get away with it. For example, Kanye West –
Heartless, Rihanna – Disturbia and Lil Wayne ft. Static Major –
Lollipop.
4. This new source of technology can be both an advantage and a
disadvantage towards the music industry. In one aspect it allows
anyone to become more involved with the music which means
that even more people can become noticed in the music industry.
However it can also create negative effects in the way that artists
are presented. Depending on people’s views it could change the
way the audience see’s the artist which could have a very bad
impact towards the music industry.
5. The way that music is distributed is equally as important as the
way it is produced. This is why media players have played a big
part in the distribution of music.
CD players were released in 1982 and cost around $900. This was
the popular choice for most people as it was easy to use and
compact. Also, CD’s were the popular format for most albums.
This came across as a great advantage for not only the music
industry but also for businesses around the world. As music CD’s
would increase in demand, CD players would also increase in
demand.
However it wasn’t long until the MP3 player was introduced. The
MP3 player was an even more compact and efficient way of
listening to music on the go. For example the iPod and the Zune.
6. The audience always needs different ways in which they can listen
to music. This is why the music industry has take advantage of
this and have made sure that music comes in many different type
of formats so that it can be consumed in more than one way.
Music can be purchased via iTunes. iTunes is a gigantic music
catalogue where music can be easily bought and stored for a very
low price. This is the most common way in which music is
consumed by the audience. iTunes can also be used to transfer
songs to your iPod or iPhone by automatically syncing purchased
songs to a connected device.
