tinear:> Has rock music strongly impacted audio design?
Designing equipment technically had to be about reproducing all frequencies within and without of hearing range, at equal volumes, without audible distortion. That has not changed.
What has changed is the move of populations into the realm of the densely packed, requiring smaller more portable gear for the masses. As people live closer together.
Recording studios like Abby Road were gymnasium sized with big permanent studio monitors. Now a days recording engineers have to go from garages, to basement, recording in home studios, dragging their monitors down the steps with them. So they got smaller, they left off the Bass speaker. But in the end it is still sound. Vibrations that human beings can hear and to a lesser extent feel.
So no rock music has not strongly impacted audio design, the iPod has?
