It is easy to believe that new gadgets like the ipod or the iPhone would have a negative effect on the music recording industry. In the past, artists had to rely heavily on their talent to be successful. There were not machines to inhance their voices to make them appear better than they actually were. There was a need for extreme showmanship and the ability to use their voices to prove that they were deserving of the notoriety that they received. Today, with technologies like amps and auto tune machines, it seems that anyone off the street could produce music. There is no need to prove talent anymore. A bad voice can easily be turned into something wonderful when making music. Another issue regarding recording arises with things like the iphone and ipod, that make it easy to download music and changes the way that the recording industry makes their money. There isn’t as high a demand for purchasing records as there used to be, one can simply download the music that they wanted to hear.
