You're also up against Human Cues. You can tell instantly when your mum is getting a cold because her voice may change the smallest amount -- too small for instruments to find it, but it's perfectly obvious to you. People who try to move voices several piano notes or "make me into an announcer&...

You bought a new HP laptop with a pink Mic-In on the side? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCLaptopSound.jpg New Windows laptops have been arriving without a Stereo Line-In connection.
