9A- Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

After conducting my five interviews, I realized several common themes. Although most of the people I interviewed agreed that many people would need my service, in order to progress with their career, they also said that there would be people who would not need my service, considering they already know exactly how to record, mix, master, and make instrumentals. I agree with this notion. There will definitely be people who have the experience needed to create professional songs and music videos. There will people who have the experience, but don't have the equipment, and there will be people will both aspects. Based on the what question, the most common answer was that I was offering very different services in one. They said that my biggest distinction was between music and video. They said that the mixing, mastering, and recording aspect all encompassed music, but the music video facet encompassed film, which is a lot different. They also said that I would not only be recording music for them, but I was also giving them a professional sound. That is very important in music, because the quality is very similar to a first impression. I am providing two different mediums of art, but keeping them under the same umbrella company. Lastly, they all pretty much had the same answer to the why question. They said that the reason the outsider's need is different, is because they do not need the same services, mostly because they can provide it for themselves. Even the outsiders may still want to buy instrumentals though. However, they may already know how to make instrumentals as well. Overall, everyone gave me very similar answers, and they agreed that my outsiders were mostly the well-experienced musicians who already owned all the equipment necessary to run my services.

Inside the boundary	Outside the boundary
Who is In -Musicians who have little technological  experience and no equipment to record themselves	Who is Not -Musicians that already have all of the skills and equipment necessary to create professional songs and music videos
What the Need Is -The skills required to record, mix, and master songs,  as well as create instrumentals and music videos	What the Need Is Not -The need is not mandatory, as many people do not actually need the service I provide
Why the Need Exists	Alternative Explanations -Many people record music off of their phones, and although it is not the best quality music, it is  still uploaded to platforms like  Soundcloud, and has the potential to garner many views

-Lots of musicians do not have the skills and
knowledge necessary to make professional
sounding songs
