Dr. Dre Taps Fellow Super Producers for Upcoming Hewlett-Packard Product Launch
Dr. Dre, who has recently joined forces with computer maker Hewlett-Packard for a series of headphones has teamed up with the computer manufacturer for a series of laptop computers. He and Interscope-head Jimmy Iovine tapped Kanye West, Timbaland and Pharrell to help the HP engineers fine tune the sound system for the upcoming HP Envy.
Billboard quoted Iovine as saying,
“What’s out there is not representative of what you hear in the recording studio. As we went on this journey, we found that computers were in the way. Artists and producers want their sound repaired in digital audio. Computer companies charge $1,000 for computers but only spend 50 cents for speakers. With HP, we found a partner willing to take the step to improve the overall sound in the PC. This is for anyone who plays music.”
