With the development of digital technology over the last few decades, the art of sound recording has undergone a revolutionary upheaval. Digital Sound Recording Technology has brought drastic changes in the way we capture, manipulate, explore, and experience sound.
Digital sound recording began its journey in the 1970s when early digital audio technologies emerged. The first commercially available digital audio recording system, the Sound stream, was introduced in 1977. This innovation utilized a digital tape recorder and marked a significant change from conventional analog recording methods and techniques.

Drawing from my project management experience in the IT field, I found ways to leverage Agile and Waterfall frameworks as the backbone of my music production and people management processes, forming what I refer to as “Mugility.”

Music studios are being established all over India, especially Bangalore and it can be difficult to narrow down one music recording studio. Most of the time the choice is based on cost and the facilities needed to record the music. With the rise of independent music production studios, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to recording your music. This gives the production in-charge a lot of clout but narrowing down the options can be a tiresome process.
