數字技術是借助一定的設備將各種圖、文、聲、像等信號轉化為數字處理系統能識別的二進制數字后進行運算、加工、存儲、傳送、傳播、還原的技術。它在流行音樂生產中的應用,主要表現在音樂創作生產、音樂唱奏生產、音樂傳播生產、音樂伺服生產等幾個構成部分中。首先,在作曲家的創作生產中,通過數字技術的使用可以實現“即見即所得”的實踐化作曲模式,這使得千百年以來形成的音樂創作傳統被逐漸消解,音樂創作的方式得到根本性的改變。其次,數字技術在流行音樂唱奏生產中的應用主要體現在聲音傳達系統的數字化和演奏樂器的數字化兩方面,并影響著流行歌手/樂手的唱奏行為。再次,音樂傳播的數字化正在改變傳統的音樂傳播與音樂消費的方式與模式,傳統的實體銷售模式現在正被網絡下載的方式所取代,音樂的傳播可以隨時隨地不受任何時間空間的限制。
最后,數字技術在流行音樂伺服生產中的應用,更多的是作為一種輔助性工具來優化伺服生產。
數字技術對于流行音樂生產效率的影響可以通過數字/模擬技術、數字技術發展的不同階段對流行音樂生產影響的對比來揭示。
比較模數時代流行音樂的生產效率時,可以通過生產系統的局部比較來類推。
從數字錄音對于生產效率的影響不難看出,數字條件下的音樂生產具有更高的效率:在信號記錄模式上,數字錄音采用數字編碼的形式進行信號的存儲,這比模擬錄音下的磁化信號、光學信號有效率得多;在聲音信號的存取速度上,數字錄音的存取速度大大優于模擬錄音設備,這在節約單位生產時間的同時,也提高了制作生產的效率;在聲音信號的編輯處理上,數字錄音后的結果是將聲音信號轉換成數據,各種后期的編輯處理自然就是一大堆數據的運算,這種精確性、細微性、快捷性的操作,使得數字條件下的錄音制作具有更高的生產效率。
比較硬件條件下與插件環境下音樂制作的生產效率,孰優孰劣也是顯而易見的:從生產的流程來看,非線性的插件音源可以大大節約單位生產時間;從生產成本來看,插件化的音樂創制系統價格遠遠低于硬件設備,降低了生產成本,插件式設備在生產中的可復制性同樣大大降低了生產成本;從參數編輯以及設備更新方面來看,插件設備的易控性與拓展性使其具有良好的發展空間,可以跟上變化的生產力的發展,從而有利于插件設備的重復利用,大大節約資源。
移動互聯技術的發展,以及平板、智能手機這些硬件終端的出現和成熟,使數字虛擬的音樂生產進入微制作的新階段。微制作對于流行音樂生產效率的影響表現在:微制作只需通過對便攜性的平板電腦等計算機工具的操作就能實現,使音樂生產成本進一步降低;微制作促進了音樂生產者的非專業化,能夠節約人力資源;微制作促進了音樂生產機制的非公司化,這不僅提高了生產效率而且降低了人力成本。
數字技術的介入,既改變了傳統音樂制作的模式,也影響到了制作后的效果,這種影響是正面的,它能夠提供更高的清晰度、更好的操控性、更悅耳的聽感。
從波表音源到合成器插件、從采樣器到物理建模合成器,越來越先進的音色制造技術在獲得較小體積的同時又能極大地提高制作效果。不同的媒體編碼技術影響著流行音樂生產的最終效果,體積小、效果好是數字化音樂產品的終極追求,而編碼技術的發展也正是基于此。
數字技術在流行音樂的各個生產環節全面介入后,對音樂的生產、傳播、消費所產生的負面影響也接踵而至,這些負面影響有時候是毀滅性的。首先,盜版的泛濫嚴重破壞了流行音樂生產的生態環境。其次,低質量的音樂產品混淆著大眾對于流行音樂聽賞的審美趣味。再次,音樂生產中自身的造假同樣擾亂了正常的生產秩序。
數字技術對于流行音樂生產影響的這種矛盾關系始終存在著,而數字技術施加的正面影響仍然占據著主導地位,當然,我們要努力消除數字技術所產生的負面影響,以促進流行音樂生產更加健康、良性的運轉。這就需要做到:規范流行音樂生產、提高音樂產品質量;打擊盜版、提高流行音樂生產的效益;規范網絡版權、破解流行音樂生產廉價化;合理利用數字技術,促流行音樂生產良性運轉。

ABSTRACT
Digital technology is a technology that uses some equipments to transfer pictures,words, sounds and images into binary numbers which can be identified by digitalprocessing system and then be operated, processed, transferred, spread and restored. Itis used in the production of pop music in many aspects, such as musical creationproduction, singing and playing production, music spread production and musicalservice production. First of all, digital technology realizes the practical mode ofmusical composition, that is, “as you write, you can hear”, which makes thetraditional way of composition disappear. Thus the mode of musical creation iscompletely changed. Second, digital technology is mainly used in the digitalization ofthe system of the musical transformation and the digitalization of musical instrumentsduring the process of singing and playing production, which has a great influence onthe singing of singers and playing of executants. Third, the digitalization of musicspread is changing the way and mode of traditional music spread and musicconsumption. The traditional sales model is being taken place by the way ofdownloading music on the web. The spread of music can be done at any time inanywhere and jump out of the limit of time and space. Finally, digital technology ismainly an assisting instrument to optimize service production.
The influence of digital technology on the efficiency of pop music production canbe shown by comparing the influence of digital technology, simulation technique anddifferent kinds of digital technology on pop music production.
The comparison of the productive effect of pop music production in the time ofmodulization can be realized by comparing some aspects of the production. Judgingfrom the influence of the digital recording on productivity, we can see that themusical production is much more efficient under the digital condition; On the mode ofinformation recording, digital recording that stores signals by numerical coding isgreatly more efficient than the traditional recording by storing magnetic signals andoptical signals; on the access speed of sound signals, the access speed of digitalrecording is much more faster than the traditional recording equipments, which savesthe production time and enhances the productivity; on the editing of sound signals,editing work is an operation on the large amount of data as the digital recordingtransfers the sound signals into data, which is more precise, subtle and faster, and hashigher productivity.
Comparing the productivity of the music production under the hardwarecondition with that using plug-in system, we can easily see which one is moreefficient. From the process of production, we can see the non-linear sound source,plug-in sound source, can greatly save the unit time of production; from theproduction costs, we can see the price of the plug-in music production equipments ismuch lower than the hardware equipments. The plug-in music production equipmentscan not only enhance the productivity of music production, but lower the productivecosts. What's more, the replicability of the plug-in equipments can also lower theproductive costs greatly; from the parameter's editing and the equipments' updating,we can see the easily controllability and expanded function of the plug-in equipmentsprovides good development prospects, which can catch up with the development ofthe productive force and save resources.
The development of the mobile Internet technology, as well as the appearance andthe maturity of the terminal unit, such as tablets and smart phones, leads the digitalmusic production to the new stage of micro-production. The influence ofmicro-production on the productivity of the pop music production lies in thefollowing aspects: micro-production can be done by using computers, such as portabletablets, which lower the music production costs; micro-production accelerates thenon-specialization of music producers, which can save human resources;micro-production accelerates the unincorporation of the music production mechanism,which enhances productivity and lower human costs.
The intervention of the digital technology changes the mode of traditional musicmaking and also has influence on its effect. The influence is positive, as the digitaltechnology can provide clearer, more easily controlled, more euphonious sound effect.
The increasing advanced timbre making technology evolved from wavetable soundsource to synthesizer plug-in, from sampling instrument to physical modelingsynthesizer, can improve the quality of the sound making with smaller equipments.
Different media coding technology influences the effect of the pop music production.
The ultimate pursuit of the digital music product is small in size and euphonious insound effect, on which the development of coding technology is based.
When digital technology is applied in every step of pop music production, itsnegative impacts on the production, spread and consumption of music comesuccessively. Some of them are even destructive. First, the wide spread of the piratedcopy of music severely destroys the natural environment of the pop music production.
Next, the music of inferior quality confuses the esthetic opinion of the public. Then,the forgery activity in music production disturbs production order.
The contradict effects of digital technology on pop music production always exist.
Even though,the positive effects still have the leading position. Without doubt, wehave to get rid of its negative effect to make music production healthier and proceedin good direction. Thus, the following needs to be done: standardize the musicproduction to improve the quality of the music products; crack down pirated activitiesto standardize the copyright on the web and stop the tendency of the low price of themusic products; use the digital technology properly to maintain the good operation ofmusic production.
