In today's world, technology has evolved and continues to evolve to better benefit everyone in the world. More importantly, from what I've seen, music technology to what artists are using, has made a phenomenal vision of how it has brought music production to the forefront. In this music, computer programming plays an important role. There are many computer programs used in music and by musical artists. “Music notation software has been around for over two decades, and during that time many programs have come and gone” (7: Thompson). One of the known programs is Finale, which is a music notation software that uses playback and allows the artist to compose parts. and also edit sounds in dynamics. It is currently used by a majority of organizations, schools and independent artists and composers. This program has also had some success. Finale was made by a company known as MakeMusicInc. founded in 1988 by Phil Farrand who wrote the Nitpicker guides for Star-Trek and The X-Files. He also wrote the original coda music software which later became MakeMusicInc. Every year, Finale releases a newer version of its software. Their latest software is Finale 2014 for Windows and Macintosh. Finale has over 200 built-in instruments with human playback and a variety from different parts of the world. The price of Finale is between $249 and $599 depending on the version, from the academic version to the professional version. Prices are generally lower when the user upgrades from an old version to a new one. Prices also depend on the operating systems on which they will be used. With that in mind, it gives people different choices on what to use. The goal for artists and organizations using this software is to bring a more realistic feel and sound... middle of paper... ...included in the editing software (42:Roberts). Artists like Timbaland, Soulja Boy, Basshunter, Afrojack and Fabolous use FL studio for their tracks. Additionally, 9th Wonder, who is a major hip-hop producer in the United States, has often made instrumentals through this program. For many artists and producers, the software has simplified their lives by literally doing things with one click instead of moving around so many controls. Avicii, known as one of Sweden's top DJs, uses FL Studio for most of his work. He was first introduced to the software at age 18 by a friend in high school, then immediately latched onto the idea of ​​contributing more of his music (19: Ware). Most of the production consists of numerous lops that he created and then overlapped around his instrumentals. Believe it or not, FL Studio also released a version 10 containing some Avicci sound effects..
