[edit] External links only advertising

Unfortunately the external links appear to be sites that only sell things (and do not provide any free, useful information). People looking for these things can probably find them through search engines, TV, etc.-- the companies can pay for advertising there.

Most problematic seem to be the following links. If someone that watches this page wants to defend their being here, they are welcome to discuss this here; if no one bothers, in a week or so I will delete them.

  1. School of Audio Engineering - Global Portal
  2. Music Production School - SAE Institute, Byron Bay - Providing Audio Engineering Courses.
  3. Software for the Digital Studio

Meanwhile I will try to find more useful external link content. Matthew K 17:08, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know what insight you can provide about the fact that some companies are once again recording in vinyl due to demand from audiophiles that claim that vinyl provides a warmer sound.Radical man 7 19:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zoom H4

I bought a Zoom H4 Handy Recorder this month, and I'd like to share what I've learned about its operation in recent weeks. I hope this won't violate WP:OR. ;-) --Uncle Ed 01:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External link

http://www.xinglogic.com was added as an external link recently; having an open mind, I looked at the page and reviewed 'about us', 'audio', and 'services' and found nothing that would be of use to a person trying to create wikipedia-licensed audio files. This link is to a company which sells studio time... and in my opinion doesn't belong here. If you have a reason for listing this page which I have overlooked, please comment here.

[edit] No Sources and Wrong Information

This page has no sources whatsoever. Though I know the topic enough to recognize that it is copied off other web pages, some of it is wrong, like this:

   * In 1984, AMS launches the AudioFile — the world’s first commercial hard disk recording system

The world’s first commercial hard disk recording system is variously credited to AMS, EMT, and PPG, but the world’s first commercial hard disk recording system was actually the New England Digital Synclavier II with the (16-bit, up to 50kHz, one track) Sample-to-Disk Option which came out in 1981-82. These other systems have been backdated by telling history falsely, a look at the back panel of any one of them shows interfaces supporting protocols and machines that didn't even exist when the machines are now claimed to have been made, like SCSI, Sony PCM-701, AES/EBU, MADI, and the Sony 9-pin RS-422 protocol. I can't find any web source to source this into this page, and most "sources" on this topic are also wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.241.93 (talk) 04:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Synclavier is now in the timeline. Binksternet (talk) 15:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Audio or video?

This page looks like it was written with only digital audio in mind and then had digital recording of video tacked on as an afterthought. Digital video recording should be treated more fully here or excised entirely. I made a small attempt to weave video a little better into the text. Binksternet (talk) 15:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
