We talked at great length about synthesizers and music and rob performs on his retro keyboard project live in the lab. You will notice that the intro music is missing, and the opening comments are recorded much better then the actual interview. This technical glitch is explained in the podcast, so I won’t spoil the surprise. I have jumped a chasm technically when it comes to sound and learned even more about using Audacity.
