Hello,

I'm interested if any one is doing research in phonology/phonetics using the 
latest in digital technology.  I was in a music studio with digital editing 
software recently; stuff usually used by musicians.  You can hear a sound 
wave at the same time that you see it on the computer screen.   .You can  
Isolate, magnify, manipulate etc..any section of a  sound wave( a dipthong, or 
a phrase for example).  It seems the potential as a linguistic research tool, 
or language teaching tool is enormous.

I would be interested if anyone has heard of such work being done or if anyone 
is doing it themselves.  Please email me.

Thanks,
David
