This was a great tool, but with DNA it is absolutely awesome. Audio processing/production is what got me into programming originally.

DNA is the first thing in a long time that I've seen that I really don't know how they did it! I think usually I've got some guess, even when its outside of my expertise (most hackers do) but this? Fourier transforms and lots of 'em is as close as I can get. Its magic. I love it.

As a musician (and amateur recorder) myself, I can say that this is truly incredible. Think about it. As this technology progresses there may come a day when a single microphone is all it takes to record all tracks (and sub tracks of the individual instruments and vocals) of an entire band.

If this is the case, the cost of recording could go down significantly. Less equipment is necessary to record the multiple tracks, less time required to "get it right," which in turn means less time to bill for by the recording studio.

How do you think this technology will change the music industry?

Brings new meaning to "just sing the alphabet baby, we'll do the rest". Seriously with stuff like this available to the average punter, could the age of celebrity finally be over? Here's hoping.

Why would the age of celebrity end? High quality output becomes much easier, but the authorship is still difficult (and requires talent). Photoshop and Illustrator definitely changed the game in the design world, but there are still clear differences in talent.
