Sumario:In a context of growing concern regarding the trafficking of private information on the networks, the manipulation of the individual, and the violation of people's freedom of decision, this research focuses its attention on the possible homogenization mechanisms present in the music of mass consumption aimed at the youth and adolescent public. For that purpose, a phenomenological descriptive study is proposed, through a series of interviews, where the testimony of record producers specialized in said music is used. The results show the existence of certain musical production practices, strictly regulated and at the service of the record industry, which exert a marked influence on the perception, assimilation and consumption of mass music. In this way, techniques for recording and for sound post-production with expressive capacity are described, which can regulate the emotions of the listeners and reinforce imageries, ideologies and attitudes through recorded music. Also, the way is understood in which the use of these patterns of sound manipulation directly affects the musical preferences of the listeners and contributes to a worrying drift towards cultural homogenization among young people in our society.
