The Future Sound of Music
Despite the rapid evolution of music media in the past 30 years, from vinyl to MP3s, the industry is acutely aware that the way we listen to music has hardly changed allowing little interactivity. While albums and singles remain the mainstay of the music industry, technologists, innovators and composers are coming up with new tools to help modern listeners engage with the songs they love. One of these is MXP4, a program that allows people to mix their favourite tracks in virtually any way they like. You can add drums, take away backing music, or mash two songs together. The user interface is very simple and built for people with no DJing experience.The music of about 70 artists, including Michael Jackson, has been licensed to the platform. The tool can be found on the websites of the participating record labels, who are looking for innovative ways to compete with the huge volume of free music available online – often illegally. The team behind MPX4 say it offers new ways to rejuvenate artists’ back catalogues, potentially creating new revenue streams for musicians and labels.

Eventhough the MXP4 can be used by inexperience people. I still believe that you have to have some talent and passion for music. Yes anybody can DJ todaybut in my opinion inorder for creativity to take place you still need natural skill.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the general quality of music has greatly degraded. Just look at auto-tune, and people like Rebecca Black. Yes auto-tune can be made into good/catchy/hilarious song that get a ton of views/listens, but it just masks the terrible singing of the those who utilize it (rappers with auto-tune are exceptions obviously.)But a song like Friday getting more views than songs today that are millions times better than it resulted from the overall music quality of today.
