Yes yes, I have no doubt at all that you’re right, but all I want it for is to record the odd podcast intro, with about one in twenty being more than just me making it up as I go along so some very basic editing stuff is occasionally handy and also, going right back up to one of answers to the five, it means I can actually teach how to use the fucker.

cogstar, Adam

if I may:

!#@YU@**(!!!!!

That is not “all that is needed”!

Fucking… Gah! Bollocks.

Sorry. DAW’s are the best thing that has happened to music since the gramaphone. The depth of these programs means that musicians are going to be able to document their ideas and art in unprecedented clarity and accuracy, than ever before.

hurumph!!!

cogstar… “1) Any computer based sound recording equipment. Play, pause, stop and big red button with record on it are all thats needed.”

This is why I like Audacity.

You are very judgmental Matthew.

Sometimes and an 8-year-old just wants to get his hole, and needs his brother to hook him up.

1. When one of my students started talking about ‘going home to play with his wii’ I was somewhat confused. And disgusted.

2. My dad is a network systems analyst, sets up entire networks and servers and whatnot so he’s doing ok technology wise! My mum discovered the wonders of hotmail in April this year when I went overseas. She learnt how to text a year ago as well AND knows how to send picture messages as well!

3. Hairtie.

4. Gravity.

5. Water.

1. Technology getting away – Think I’ve got a good handle on this stuff. Any Final Cut Pro issues just email me. HTML? piece of piss. But I do look enviously at those kids with wheels on their shoes.

2. Techie parents – Both owners of iphones and mac laptops.

3. Low tech item – I flush my toilet and somehow it disappears never to be seen again. Amazing.

4. Best complicated invention – The internet. When I was at Edinburgh Uni, I couldnt even pick up the student radio station from Pollock Halls. This week I was sitting in my office in Manhattan listening to your show clear as day. Then I leave a comment on your website and 2 minutes later I get a mention. This is science fiction.

Seriously, if they’d had that technology in Star Wars, Princess Leia could just have left a message on Obi Wan’s blog about the Death Star and saved a lot of bother for the Skywalker family.

5. Best obvious invention – Twist off beer bottles.

By the way Matthew, I need your thoughts on who should be in the final five of our Scotland’s Greatest Ever Drummer poll?
