Dissertation Research: "Chasing Sound: The Culture and Technology of the Recording Studio, 1945-1970."

本研究将关注战后美国录音室录音的文化和技术发展。它将探讨录音室如何成为一种新的媒体，因为磁带既彻底改变了录音的过程，又扩大了音频工程领域的参与。它调查了音频工程师、音乐家和唱片制作人在录音领域的激烈增长、实验和创业时期的工作关系。了解这段历史的主要方法是通过对录音室工程师和老板、音乐家、电台工作人员以及当时参与录音的其他人的口头采访。

This study will focus on the cultural and technological development of studio recording in postwar America. It will explore how the studio became a new medium as tape both revolutionized the process of recording and broadened participation in the audio engineering field. It investigates the working relationship of audio engineers, musicians, and record producers during a period of intense growth, experimentation, and entrepreneurship in the field of sound recording. The primary method of getting at this history is through oral interviews with studio engineers and owners, musicians, radio personnel, and others involved with sound recording in this era.
