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. Schmidt Horning draws
from a wealth of original oral interviews with major labels and
independent recording engineers, producers, arrangers, and
musicians, as well as memoirs, technical journals, popular
accounts, and sound recordings. Recording engineers and producers,
she finds, influenced technological and musical change as they
sought to improve the sound of records. By investigating the
complex relationship between sound engineering and popular music,
she reveals the increasing reliance on technological intervention
in the creation as well as in the reception of music. The recording
studio, she argues, is at the center of musical culture in the
twentieth century.
