UPEGUI, Jorge Mario Valencia  and  PARRA, Carlos Andrés Caballero. The Evolution of Audio Processing: Technological and Digital Mediation in Music Creation and Record Production*. Trilogía. Cienc. Tecnol. Soc. [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.29, e200.  Epub Dec 27, 2023. ISSN 2145-7778.  https://doi.org/10.22430/21457778.2550.

This article describes the technical possibilities that, through the use of digital audio processing technology, have influenced the evolution of music and record production, from the musical creation and composition to the distribution of the finished product. As a whole, these possibilities have brought about significant changes not only in the ways of creating but also in the final aesthetic-sound results. An analysis based on primary sources, bibliographic references, and the autoethnographic experience of the authors reveals the influence that these changes have had on producers, engineers, and musicians in the performance of their artistic work. Finally, there is evidence of a strong impact of the technological passage of time on the creative processes and the aesthetic-sound results, which demonstrates, once again, the importance of studies on technology and its effect on traditional arts.

Keywords : Analog audio; digital audio; record industry; music production.
