Grounded in the Rogers (1995) theory of diffusion, this field study applied th? theory to the problem of technology obsolescence within the music scoring industry. Technology obsolescence is important to study because it plays a specific and pivotal role in business success, longevity, and sustainability. The purpose of this study was to examine the critical needs and considerations of music scoring mixers actively engaged in the art of music recording and recommend solutions so that facility management is able to make data-driven decisions about managing technology upgrades. Scoring mixers were selected for this study based on their daily participation in the music recording process, and their experience with the currently available technology for music recording. This study used qualitative research methods, specifically the collection of interview data. Analysis of the interview data resulted in eight noteworthy findings related to workflow, technology usage preference, and recommendations about future interventions.
