I used to record sample voice wav files (and banging cans, toast popping
out, bird calls, blenders, you name it), insert them into a Amiga
style .mod file with the Linux version of Tracker. Then I could speed
them up or slow them down to change pitch, during playback, to compose
computer music. Lotsa fun. That was back in the 4 channel days, now they
can have 20-30 channels with the newer formats. 

I'm not totally un-kewl and un-hip ...not totally. :) Ric
