Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. Dept. of Music.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Feedback is constantly occurring between the technician and their equipment, as well as between the technician and the artist. However, limited research is available on constructive feedback methods for the technician and the artist that will create the most productive work environment. The goal of this research study is to show how to approach dealing with clients, the different feedback methods available to use, and to create an awareness of the role of the engineer in ensuring a successful production process. This was done by researching the Sandwich Feedback model and the Behavioural Analysis Feedback model (BAF in greater detail and relating it to music technology. This study attempted to provide technicians with the necessary tools needed for human interaction in any production. Sources in Music Technology and Industrial Psychology, specifically constructive feedback and different feedback models, were used to construct a survey that was completed anonymously by various musicians and technicians to establish which feedback model is effective for the field of Music Technology. This survey was drawn up with the purpose of ascertaining how knowledgeable those who work in the audio industry are regarding different feedback methods. The different results were compared, and it was concluded that the Behavioural Analysis Feedback model is the preferred model for the technician and the artist to ensure a successful production. This study has endeavoured to create an awareness of the approach when dealing with clients and to realise the role the sound engineer plays in maximising success during a production process. This thesis attempts to provide an introduction of sorts to different f feedback methods available in order to aid in a n advantageous relationship between the producer, or recording engineer, and the artist.
