Bargaining Power of Buyers. Buyers are the customers or the purchasers of products or services within an industry. Buyers typically seek to maximize their value by purchasing at the lowest possible costs.

As a group, buyers wield power over an industry when: There are few of them; They purchase a large amount of total output from the industry; Products or services they purchase are homogenous and…
Over the past three decades, in the recording studio a widespread of technical changes have occurred. This has changed music on a whole. Factors such as studio production, the role of the producer and the recording engineer have also been altered durastically in music by technology. The Internet, digital formats and industry progressions are known to have caused changes too. Particularly, the computer industry introduced many digital technologies over these decades. At the same time, the music industry changed as did customer habits. As a result, current production practices have been shaped by several outside influences that include both technical and business factors. Since the 70’s, the computer, music, and audio industries have begun to influence one another.…

The text examines the social implications and reasons for being of radio and refers to various scholars who have examined the form and its effects of this revolutionary device which unites listeners through simultaneity of listening and the physical responses listening engenders. Through the physiological, social, cultural, and technological spheres of this medium, it is obvious that it is much more complex than commonly believed, and the text brings to light the ramifications of its introduction into a literary, visual culture, creating a hybrid America : a conservative, literate society entwined with a traditional, preliterate. oral culture.…
Since the beginning of radio’s “golden age” in the 1940’s, this form of mass media has experienced many changes from different programming, to advertising, to broadcast laws, etc. Beginning when the first radio station, KDKA, signed on in 1920 , it was quickly being picked up as a new emerging form of mass media. By the mid-20’s radios themselves were better and easier to use, and by 1930, were being purchased by the millions. Radio not only survived but thrived through the great depression. This would only be the beginning of its journey of change. Radio, like many other mass media, has continued to evolve to meet the constantly changing wants and needs of society.…

The following report introduces two producers I draw inspiration from, and am influenced by; Rick Rubin and Ken Scott. Firstly to critically analyze their bodies of work we must first understand the role of a producer and what classifies an individual as a producer or engineer. A producer must be able to oversee and effectively manage the recording, they must be able to understand the bands vision, they must have an overall goal as to what they wish to produce with the band, they must be creatively innovative and true to the bands and their own style, they must effectively portray the story the band is telling through their song, they must be able to shape and mold a piece of music and make it sound cohesively perfect. The producer is relied on to take a sound and make it happen, they are expected to work within a certain timeframe and have to be able to follow the direction of the band, the overall mood and tonality of the song must be effectively conveyed in the piece and therefore an appropriate use of mixing must be analyzed by the producer in order to achieve the most relevant sound that the band is associated with. The producer must have a competent understanding of processing a sound, and the recording path that is used to do this. The role of a producer, however, has greatly changed over the past decade with the forever expanding world of technology - we mere a need a laptop and a simple recording device to be classified as a producer in today’s music society, furthermore as future producers ourselves we must have a sound knowledge of our industry that lays before us and the greats that are within it, for these are the people we will most learn by and draw inspiration from. To produce a reliable report the validity of resources must be considered, and the relevance of sources to the topic presented should be…
The radio breakthrough in the 1930’s was huge. It not only offered news updates, but it also provided entertainment to all ages. Some news updates and broadcasts were often referred to as “fireside chats”. The radio benefitted everyone, everywhere, but eventually went out of style as other trends came into existence. However, even as the interest in radio lessened, it played a key role in the evolution of things like the television. In addition to the Golden Age of Broadcasting, radios have changed a great deal since the 1930’s and 40’s. Without radio and broadcasting, life would be a little different from the way it is now.…
Music demands perfection. In the music of today, Auto-Tune, which is a software plug-in that allows music to be manipulated, has had a hand in the creation of almost 90% of the public’s favorite pop songs in recent times[1]. It has become an indispensable tool in the production process, erasing mistakes and adding effects that would be unheard of in music prior to the 21st century, with the exception of Cher’s 1998 “Believe”, which laid the foundation to the trend in the first place[2]. To this end, the primary aim of the researchers is to flesh out the effects that Auto-Tune has had on the industry as an example of how computer software affects music, and in particular, the artists who make the music.…
In the recent years, there have been changes in the structure of the Music industry and the paths that have been used for creating, promoting and distributing music. Most of these changes resulted from the advancements in technology, which affected both economic and technological structures of the industry. The digitization of music and its migration on to the Internet has been one of the biggest challenges to the traditional music industry. Ever since the invention of recorded music itself over a century ago, and together with the rise of illegal file sharing, it smashes the familiar hierarchies and materiality of musical production at practically every level. Today a growing number of consumers are using the Internet to access music. The Internet has changed the distribution systems as well as raised many legal and ethical issues in the music industry. And in the same way that the unique compositional possibilities of recording technology itself were only widely accessible and explored in the last quarter of the twentieth century in genres such as electronic music, rock & roll, disco and hip hop which may be decades before the uniqueness of tomorrow’s online music-making landscape is really found and put to use.…
The common denominator of dance music is primarily the turntables, in which the Disc Jockey (DJ) uses to combine tracks electronically into one smooth mix. Synthesizers and voice manipulation through softwares such as Logic Pro and Fruity Loops are widely used. “Organic” instruments such as the acoustic guitar can also constitute as part of the equation, and contemporary musicians bring in eccentric elements – a violin, congo drums and et cetera – to add that special ‘feel’ to their music.…
A huge alternative to radios are media players. The commonly know iPod franchise has brought in millions of dollars because of the popularity and usability of the products.

However, music represents more than productions. Moreover, technology promotes the development of commercial music industry. During the last century, people utilized only phonographs, walkmans, CD players and tapes in an attempt to listening to music. Only several pieces of music could be saved in their equipments due to the lack of internal storage, and the cost of manufacturing music was quite expensive. Nowadays, music can be accessed everywhere, which means that people can listen to music through diverse approaches. When you hear a song which is beautiful, you can just take out your phone and search for it within a minute. This provokes the development in music industry, as there is a worldwide customer group due to the prosperity in technology. All kinds of music can be diffused to mass media around the world. Cross-countries music productions, which I mentions in the previous paragraph, are also beneficial to music industries. In the past, only artworks that were released in the country could be heard by the masses of this country. These days, even people live in the arctic circle can enjoy the music worldwide. Owing to the global widespread of different types of music, songs, albums and concert tickets can be sold throughout the world, which brings along the global music commercial profit…
