Emergence of New Technologies

May 4th, 2008 by admin

The stage is set for the emergence of new technologies in studio recording software fuelled by computer industry competition and increased awareness, at the computer hardware and software manufacturer level, of the importance of the audio marketplace.

Several innovations have emerged, and make possible quantum jumps in studio recording software. The first is the advent of copper as a manageable material for semiconductor makers (foundries) to use as substrate for central processor units (CPU) or microprocessor chips which previously used aluminum. Aluminum is not as superior a conductor as is copper, but until 1998, was much easier to work in making chips. A CPU consists of a series of millions of transistors laid down on a non-conducting board with a layer or substrate of aluminum or copper to make the connection to all of the transistors.
