ABSTRACT
By 1990, the use of analog synthesizers in the tradition of Moog, Buchla, ARP, and others was entirely superseded by the availability of inexpensive, computerbased, digital synthesizing techniques. Computer processors are used in every kind of music equipment imaginable. They are at the core of digital synthesizers, effects boxes, mixers, multitrack recorders, and other basic devices used by the working musician. Most commercial recordings are now recorded, mixed, and mastered using digital means.
