Shamus Hammons 7a4c28bd86 Rearrangement and cleanup of Part I.
This includes rewriting out all of the "you" language that was peppered
throughout, fixing inconsistencies in layout, and removing <br>s
wherever they were misused and unnecessary (which was quite a lot).

<p>
It has never been particularly easy to move sessions or projects from one
<abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr> to another. There are two
<dfn>interchange standards</dfn> that have reasonably widespread support:</p>
<ul>
<li>OMF (Open Media Framwwork), also known as OMFI. Developed and controlled
by Avid, never standardized</li>
<li>AAF (Advanced Authoring Format). Developed by a consortium of media-related
corporations.</li>
</ul>
<p>
In practice both of these standards have such complex and/or incomplete
specifications that different DAWs support them only partially,
differently, or not at all.
