I. INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1) Digital signals have transformed the world today, and in few areas is it as prevalent as it is in the music industry. Today’s analog-to-digital converters allow us to accurately store the physical, analog phenomena of sound as digital data, with high fidelity and perfect reproduction quality [1]. Digital audio storage is far more practical than analog audio storage for both the consumer and the professional alike. Digital audio is not vulnerable to noise, unlike analog audio where noise is not only prevalent but machine-indistinguishable from the original message [NEED CITE].
The History of Sound Recording The methods used to produce, edit, and record music and sound have changed with the introduction of new sound technology. The compatibility of computer technology with music recording has led to large scale developments in computer-based systems, especially by home users. Modern computer technology in music and audio is fundamentally different in comparison to older magnetic tape recording techniques because it is digital. New computerised digital methods are significantly better at manipulating sound (editing, recording, etc) than the highest fidelity analogue tape methods of the past. Instruments nowadays are generally considered easier to play than their predecessors hundreds of years ago (due to quality manufactured parts, and standardisation of music notation).
Mastering engineer Bob Katz has suggested that iTunes Radio will call time on this and usher us into a new audio utopia. Apparently users on iTunes radio will have Sound Check as its default setting and that will already enable a better listening experience. Apple’s dominance in the hardware and digital music ma... ... middle of paper ... ...ngagement but also increase the value of music as a product, which will eventually lead to easier monetization and more profitability for the recorded music industry. This idea of bringing the gaming industry in the music world is not new. Other artists have already proved it to work in their marketing campaigns.
These represent samples of the amplitude of the audio signal at equal time intervals. The sample rate is high enough to convey all sounds that can be heard. Digital recordings are of better quality than analog recordings because the digital format prevents much loss of quality found in analog recording which is due to noise and electromagnetic interference in playback. Mechanical deterioration and damage to the storage medium is also prevented. A digital audio signal has to be reconverted to an analog form during playback before it is applied to a speaker or earphones.
Digital tools are more reliable and safer . How have the tools improved work completion and decreased the amount of injuries ? Well Digital tools still have a long way to go , have plenty of negative things that need to be improved . But they did improve a lot from manual to digital . Digital tools have a lot of defects and problems .

Digital Audio in music gave middle class people a chance to step foot in the music industry. Lowering costs, ultimately, allowing for a much larger demographic in audio engineering careers. People can now be creative and utilize affordable technologies with no limitations other than their own creativity. We live in a time of complete opportunity; limits are only defined by the individual. Technology will continue to improve and so will the music created by it.
This limits to what could actually be the new and improved energy source that the human race turns to because if it was easy to figure out and use then it would have already been done. The technology improvements though have allowed the path for a new type of energy though that is starting to catch on fast; this new energy is renewable energy. This type of energy will never run out and is better for the environment because it is using natural things and just making energy out of it. Solar, wind, and hydro power are three major types of renewable energy sources that have started to lead the way in this movement of change, the only question is if they are actually cheaper, more effective, and easier to use. The first example of a source of renewable energy is solar energy.

The debates of which method is better will not likely be silenced soon because people have their own preferences, but both ways are respected greatly in photography. Though digital photography is currently in a brighter spotlight, both are respected and because of technology both are becoming more advanced with every day. Both methods have their flaws, and rewards. It depends on the photographer which options would they like to have to determine which method of photography they will use. Photography is always advancing, and both film and digital photography have a long way to go before one of the two silences the ongoing debates.
