Music and Cyberliberties identifies the groups who are pushing back against the "copyright grab" by major labels for the rights and privileges that were once enjoyed by artists and fans.

Chasing Sound by Susan Schmidt Horning
ISBN: 1421410222
Publication Date: 2013-10-14
In Chasing Sound, Susan Schmidt Horning traces the cultural and technological evolution of recording studios in the United States from the first practical devices to the modern multi-track studios of the analog era. Charting the technical development of studio equipment, the professionalization of recording engineers, and the growing collaboration between artists and technicians, she shows how the earliest efforts to capture the sound of live performances eventually resulted in a trend toward studio creations that extended beyond live shows, ultimately reversing the historic relationship between live and recorded sound.
