This is great. I never really understood history timelines etc but I get this. I like that they've made the times into the years that everything happened. I hope they do more of these for students.

Now, here's an aside: I've used the expression all my life, but I've only just thought: Could the origin of the expression "twig" in this sense be the Irish verb "tuig" (understand, deduce, comprehend, realize)...pronounced, roughly, "tig" (but with a slight "w gl...

I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am today (which is a very good place), or have had the majority of the life-changing experiences of my last eight years, had this board never existed. Thank you, Dale! And someday I'll make it down to Alabama again, and this time I'll make sure to stop b...

I have a Sony microphone which has been a workhorse for years. I got it in 2000 and brought it round Ireland in 2003. Never had any problems with it. A few years back I got a Zoom H2 and put the Sony away, stored in a ziploc bag in my electronics drawer. No battery was in the Sony and it had been wo...

My husband has bought and enjoyed several Gliga violins and has recommended them to others in the past. I'll ask him to comment on this thread when he gets a chance.

Just got back from camp yesterday, loved it!

I have the H2 and like it but I agree that it is more than you need. It also won't suit for the use of "ooh, that's a nice tune, let me quickly turn it on and grab it" as it has a startup delay before it's ready to record. I've noticed that the larger the SD card in the H2, the longer the ...

I have the Amazing Slow Downer and while it does indeed slow things down nicely, I found the exported mp3s a bit lacking; the tempo didn't seem rock steady to me. (And it wasn't a recording of me playing, which explains many tempo problems.) However, this was a few years ago and maybe they have impr...

Has anyone used anything from http://www.acoustic-labs.com ?

Well, it's at someone's house; while I don't know if they have wifi or not I suspect they won't want to be handing out the password. It'd be nice if there were an option to download a database locally and have it on hand, or record a snatch to check out later - though maybe it already does that last...

Thanks for the thoughts - I'll look into some of these names. I'm recording for myself alone but I will want to put some recordings on the internet to share (not selling) and may wish to burn some audio CDs of live session recordings etc like I did in the past. I don't expect to need multitrack capa...

I'd love to have TunePal but I hear it doesn't work so well on the Touch since it won't always be able to access the internet.

Another example of inaccurate headlines to get attention. All torosaurus specimens will now be reclassified as triceratops, the scientists said. Really the article should have been called "Torosaurus 'never really existed but was just an old version of another dinosaur'" but then no one wo...

In the future, when we do get a new TV, I'd like to hook up a netbook/laptop to the TV for internet viewing and possibly movie downloads. I was at Best Buy/Frys/Staples the other day (can't say for certain which one it was at) and I saw an accessory which would let you wirelessly transmit your comp...

By the way, as a mod I see no problem with posting here to draw attention to language needs on IGTF - it's all about working together!
