Zusammenfassung:
'Push' shows how changes in the design of music software in the first decades of the 21st century shaped the production techniques and performance practices of artists working across media, from hip-hop and electronic dance music to video games and mobile apps. Emerging alongside developments in digital music distribution such as peer-to-peer file sharing and the MP3 format, digital audio workstations like FL Studio and Ableton Live introduced design affordances that encouraged rapid music creation workflows through flashy, 'user-friendly' interfaces. Meanwhile, software such as Avid's Pro Tools attempted to protect its status as the 'industry standard,' 'professional' DAW of choice by incorporating design elements from pre-digital music technologies.
