"In Dancehall and Reggae Music"

Technology in the dancehall and reggae music industry has come a far way just like any other industry.

Back in the early days the producers such as Lee "Scratch" Perry used keyboards, Guitars, Drums and Organs to build riddims.

Most of these riddims were recorded on Vinyls Records and Hi Bias Cassettes.

Fast forward to 2010. Composing a riddim is very easy with computer software such as fruity loops, Acid and sound forge.

In the 1970's to 1990's it could take a producer up to 6 months to compose a riddim. In today's world it now only takes between 3-4 weeks.

Sound Systems and some Radio Stations no longer plays Vynl records, some still plays CDs. Most disc jocks now using there laptop with Serato, which is a computer mixing software. Other popular software being used are, PCDJ, Pioneer Pro DJ, Virtual DJ and BPM.

And how could we forget the Internet. This has helped artistes with the distribution of their music and personality. Most dancehall and reggae entertainer have a My-space page.
