- @davidmoldawer I just want my future editor's job to be as easy as possible.
- Examining my love of "fake" music. The world is cold, uncanny, impersonal; music with those characteristics makes more sense to me.
- A guy from my jazz band dismissed hip-hop as sounding like James Brown played by robots. He's right, but to me that's a reason to like it.
- As I edit I'm amused at how a quote intended to criticize a certain music ian or style can just easily be read as praise.
- @davidmoldawer Oh, the internet isn't shaping content. Just presentation and sequencing.
- @debcha Don't worry, it'll still be plenty geeky. And thanks for offering to beta-read, you're on.
- The math and physics are still going into the book but perhaps in an appendix so as to not scare away the non-geeks.
- You the internet have made it abundantly clear that you care more about copyright and originality issues than math and physics. As you wish.
- Have decided that my sampling chapter doesn't need a geekily detailed explanation of how digital audio works. That belongs elsewhere.
- @kesterallen Infinity Gene I know and love. The others I don't but will check out.
