Have a look at some of Tom Cosm’s tutorials, and Ableton.

For some strategies, contextual information is helpful.

The alternatives mention python and ruby. What drew me to markdown in the first place was the absence of dependencies.

Try the annotations at finwake.com to get a feel for the hypertext-like layers and connections in the language. Or just acknowledge that it's not going to all make sense in one go and let the text wash around you as you keep reading.

ITIL is common enough, as are less formal strategies adopted by project delivery teams, departments and more lateral communities.

Without organisational support for agile adoption, from C-level down, agile is very unlikely to be successfully implemented because at some point the team who collectively contract to deliver a testable result in a sprint will derail, or be derailed by a conflicting schedule.

I guess it's the same phenomenon that was observed when people noticed that the waterfall software lifecycle was more of a spiral model, and started exploring Rapid Application Development techniques. There's nothing new under the sun.

That's not actually true within the US. Each song sample needs to be licensed individually. This becomes more complex when a song you want to remix contains samples of other songs. In general, this has become prohibitively expensive, which is why most modern songs only have a few "samples". Any company that does remixing as suggested above would have to manage the licensing in some way or pass on the risk to the users while still risking lawsuits from the music industry.

Play lower and higher quality encodings through a decent size of sound system (2kW upwards) to discover what all those frequencies do

Thanks ! I'll read through that this evening

I think you need to lookup Nyquist/Shannon as already alluded to in this post. Plus it's about the quality of the playback, not how loud it is. Having said that, after spending a weekend in a field in Cambridge, in front of a speaker, my hearing is now pretty shot :)

One of the reasons I prefer Soundcloud is that it's trivially easy for me to enable listeners to download tracks for free.

I am sure whatever Archive Team downloads that is determined safe (enough) will end up on Internet Archive for everyone to enjoy. They have all kind of neat stuff there that you might not even think to preserve, like old super market announcements. You can easily spend an evening just rummaging through it if you are into older stuff.
