Throughout, we ask how user interface metaphors liberate or constrain their users’ musical creativity and learning. Lastly, Part III analyzes the limits of skeuomorphic representations in current DAWs and musical interfaces, and explores the impact of controllerism, the game industry, and user experience design on the future of musical interface design. How did the modern DAW evolve to its current state of dependence on skeuomorphism and will it continue to rely on analog audio metaphors for the foreseeable future? In Part I of this article, we examine recording technologies and practices of the analog era in order to establish a context for Part II, an examination of the evolution of design metaphors in the digital age of music production. Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) design is replete with references to analog recording technology.
