TL;DR: The importance of sound treatment in popular music has been highlighted in this paper, where Jones notes that popular music is, at every critical juncture of its history, determined by the technology musicians use to realize their ideas.
Abstract: In Rock Formation , Steve Jones notes that ‘popular music is, at every critical juncture of its history, determined by the technology musicians use to realize their ideas’ (Jones 1992, p. 1). As far as sound treatment is concerned, the importance of that technology (or more precisely, the importance of the possibilities it offers at a certain time) is rather obvious – had he not possessed reel-to-reel tape recorders, Sam Phillips would have never been able to achieve the slap echo which was so characteristic of his productions in the 1950s.
