Are Traditional Musicians Becoming An Endangered Species?
Artists in today’s recording studios never have to sing off-key again: Real-time manipulation can correct pitch-poor takes and even create a chorus of backup singers using only the lead vocalist’s original track. In addition, the physical ability to play an instrument is being replaced by the capabilities of technology. Through signal processing, musicians can mimic the authentic sound of an electric guitar, saxophone, trumpet, flute or any instrument using specially equipped versions of any other instrument.
