AB  - This paper examines how todays professional audio recording and production technologies are inextricably linked to their pasts. More than part of a chronological and/or developmental continuum, this paper shows how various problematic attitudinal formations link current technologies to historicized, heritagized and canonical pasts. Drawing on extensive primary research to be published in two forthcoming booksGear: Cultures of Audio and Music Technologies (2024, The MIT Press) and Secrets and Revelation in Music and Audio Technology Culture (2024, Cambridge University Press), this paper sets out the problems fetishized technologies present to the audio industry, and signposts solutions for the future.
