Computer Music will Replace?

Nov.07, 2009 in Orchestral Instrument Review Articles

Computer audio technology has made great strides in recent years. Now it is possible that the entire orchestra or small groups to be duplicated in a studio with one keyboard or computer. Processing power has allowed the store actual audio frequencies of the various instruments and after adjusting for the launch, resulting in a reproduction of melodies, which are identical to the frequency of the original sound. So what does this mean for the future of the musicians? As workers of the assembly in an automobile factory, the musicians were replaced by computers? And the future looks bleak for those studying to become professional musicians? The answer is a resounding "NO!" There are several reasons why the future looks even better for those who seek to study the musical performance. Now is not the time to abandon your dreams and, in fact, the study appears to be a musical performer could not be more important. Here are 5 of these reasons: 1) Human beings are not perfect. At first glance, this may not seem a valid reason – or perhaps a reason that supports the opposite view. However, the quality is imperfect, subjective and unique human being who makes human behavior fascinating and satisfying than that of a computer. The risk of error lends a hand with the level of recognition that the public has for a human interpreter. Sometimes, in fact, is the tone of the notes poor or wrong really give a sense of accomplishment. Just consider the sour notes from the first 'whereas' child's first band concert or Jr. High. Would in any other way! Yes – it is true that computer experts are working to "humanize" interpretations electronically. But success in this field seems far away. 2) What you see is what you get. Imagine if the thrill of walking through the doors of Carnegie Hall, taking his seat, watching the lights dim, and hear the applause, like a concert is about to begin. The curtain opens and not in front of your eyes is a small table with a computer and a set of speakers. What are you listening can be a wonderful interpretation of a symphony or an opera. But honestly – you're there just for the sound? What is the performance without the visual? Nothing beats the beauty and grandeur of a symphony full game together. The arches of the violins are totally in tune with others. Plate player is reaching into the air to emphasize the accident. The soloist swings to the rhythm of the melody. The visual is central to the emotion and without it there is nothing! 3) fellowship and identification. Ask any musician today on what you feel is your favorite aspect of being a musician, and they will tell you is friendship and the bonds that are formed due to perform together and learn together. There's nothing like a stellar performance that makes a group to act together as a team. The audience, many of whom are musicians more likely, is fascinated by acting as if they were playing in their minds. Children watch and listen to performers and the dream of one day becoming a music star. Adults watch and listen to the artists and sleep well – Perhaps one day reach that level of ability, or perhaps the time when they themselves can play that piece. 4) The human ear is amazing. Yes – technology is advanced and amazing things have been done with music software. However, at this point, however, is still possible for the human ear to detect the differences between humans and electronics. There are nuances of tone and style that give a return address – or even a recording of that performance. People are deceived, no doubt, every day, when they hear the accompaniment of a TV spot or the background score of a film, but most of all, you can still notice the difference. Of course, this is the thing that is most likely to change as technology advances. Maybe you can say something completely different in the near future. 5) The music is fun! OK – so even if all the above reasons are not valid, the full enjoyment of playing an instrument can never be replaced by "playing" a computer. During periods of stress and moments of sadness, the musician quickly turn to therapy provided for playing songs to an audience of one. During the period of celebration and joy, there's no better way to express joy for this music. Of course, perhaps the most important, in times of worship, there is a more appropriate expression of love and service to offer a song of praise. Yes – technology advances. No – the technology should not replace the musician. Perhaps some jobs will be lost in the commercial world or in the studio, when budgets are tight. But the world of human music is widening and the need to continue training and new musicians rising will never end.
