BLOG 3 - The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life

In general, for me, technology outside the professional field is not the most important thing, as long as it serves me for my social networks, to communicate and for leisure it is enough.

Now, with my professional interests, things are very different.

I like to compose and produce music for audiovisual media; cinema, television, video games, etc. For this, the most important tool and therefore my favorite is the computer. During the past year I decided to build my own computer. For this I saw many videos on the internet where I learned about each of its components; hard drive, motherboard, ram, processor, etc.

Next, I have to install a DAW on my computer, a program for recording audio and also for creating data with digital sounds (MIDI). Thanks to these digital sounds, I can realistically have a large orchestra at my fingertips without having to pay a single musician.

Now the only thing missing is to have a good external audio card to which to connect different controllers, instruments, microphones and monitoring elements such as speakers or headphones.

The truth is that to produce music it is necessary to handle quite a few pieces of technology, that is why it is very important to be informed and educated, to never overpay and make the most of each one of them.
