Business As Usual

BAU is the normal execution of standard functional operations within an organisation and forms a possible contrast to projects or programmes which might introduce change. BAU may also stand in contradistinction to external events which may have the effect of unsettling or distracting those inside an organisation. "Business as usual" is a phrase that is frequently used in climate change studies to warn of the dangers of not implementing changes to prevent the world from warming further.

Alcoholics Anonymous

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a global peer-led mutual aid fellowship begun in the United States dedicated to abstinence-based recovery from alcoholism through its twelve-step program. AA's twelve traditions, besides stressing anonymity, establish it as non-professional, non-denominational, and apolitical with a public relations policy stressing attraction rather than promotion. In 2020 AA estimated a worldwide membership of over two million, with 75% of those in the US and Canada.

Digital Audio Workstation

A digital audio workstation is an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files. DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.
