With the availability of incredibly diverse musical categories to choose from and the development of absolutely mind-blowing technology that is now in existence, today’s Musician, Songwriter, Producer, Arranger and Studio Engineer / Technician can enjoy a working environment that must have been beyond anyone’s wildest dreams 15 or maybe even 10 short years ago. This is all a million miles away from the facilities available to the world famous Icons of the 60’s and 70’s who’s tools of the trade consisted of 2 or 3 guitars, a set of drums, 50 watt or, if you were lucky, a 100 watt amplifier and no more than a 200 watt P.A. System, only augmented by a Hammond Organ if you had a big van and Roadies strong enough to carry it up or down flights of stairs.
Equally difficult to comprehend is the fact that Hit Records made some 35 years ago that have stood the test of time, are still considered classics even today and continue to be played on Radio Stations all over the world, were recorded directly onto 2 track quarter inch tape.
In utilising the available technology in the present day Music Industry there are individuals who are making substantial amounts of money in creating successful records without possessing any real musical ability by way of mastering the craft of playing a musical instrument, but what these individuals have mastered is the art of technology and have created their place within the industry as technical programming craftsmen making Records that are selling in their hundreds of thousands all over the world , most commonly in the area of Dance / Club music. These individuals discovered an opportunity and seized it. There are many ways to approach situations. In assessment of your potential abilities in conjunction with your aims and ambitions, anything is possible as this publication will highlight many times over. The choice is yours, the opportunities do exist.
Although most of the music around today is totally enhanced by technology, there is still a tremendous demand for the ‘Live’ act, individuals who can really play their instruments, the mere presence of ‘real’ drums, the pounding rhythm lines of an electric bass guitar, the incredible creative sound and notation patterns being produced by a virtuoso lead guitarist, all accompanied by powerful lead vocals performing equally powerful songs, has proved a successful formula time and again over the past three to four decades or more.
People love ‘Live’ music, people from all walks of life will travel miles upon miles to see their favourite Band, or Singer or Orchestra, whatever. From the local pub to the Town Hall, a Club to a Theatre, from a Conference Centre to a Stadium, where there is ‘Live’ music there will always be an audience who will shout, scream, clap and demand more! More! MORE! Why? Because it’s an exciting, moving, emotional experience, a chance to let off steam, a chance to escape into a different world, if only for a few short hours, to feel exhilarated having left the stress and strain of everyday life elsewhere to enjoy a magical evening and to feel special. That is why people love ‘Live’ music. ......continued in The Essential Guide
