Microphones in the control room during playback for that "this is what it sounds like to listen to this song" effect.

I'd like the next trend in recording to be musicianship!

Mixing by way of Tape Op Message Message Board.

"How?"

Televised "Iron Engineer" recording matches.

I wish there was a backlash against DAW microediting, and one take recordings become a badge of honor again.

That's why I like listening to in studio performances on radio stations, and I'm glad they stream them online.

Well, everyone wants to be so authentic nowadays, but nobody will likely give up "the biggest sounding XYZ" so I predict that music will continue steadily on its course to self-amusement oblivion, but hairstyles will get simpler.

I think they will bring back the wax cylinder from the days of Edison. That was REAL engineering. It has that cool low-fi sound too.

It'd be nice, but just think how many kids are getting a first guitar and a first copy of ProTools LE at the same time? Why practice when you can comp together 8 seperate takes for your junior high band's home-brewed "ep"?

My guess is the next trend will be drums-only studios geared toward home-recordists. A studio with, say, a dozen kits set up and mic'ed, with a studio drummer or two for hire. Get in, get out, take your drum tracks with you and do the rest at home.

I hear that this "Pro Tools" thing is gonna be big.

the death of protools will be very soon in the works.

as things become more and more daw related, audio engineering programs at schools will also probably either change drastically.

but as i see it, knowing the new trendin "recording" is not going to set any one studio or engineer apart. knowing the age old process that can make a great record (musicianship, creativity, organization ect...) will always get you ahead.

I think that instead of looking for the next big thing, A&R reps will instead look for the next act that's the same as the previous act. I think music will not actually go anywhere for a long time.

I think we're already there.

I think 20 years from now someone's going to have a 30 piece orchestra and with what's been happening to even midsize studios in Manhattan, they'll have to record one at a time and overdub as they go along.
