A few weeks ago we went to a concert and I was amazed to see how technology has transformed some of the most basic functions. For example, at our local symphony orchestra I was surprised to see paper score sheets being replaced by tablets with electronic versions.
At one of the local cafes in town a singer had extended this further by leveraging a iRig mic with his Tablet and one of the apps on the Apple store to sing and record his live sessions for a podcast.
