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)

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)

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)

Why is HDTV in the timeline?

Digital television broadcasting would belong, perhaps (although it isn't a development of the technique, just a usage of it) but HDTV is totally irrelevant. A HDTV could be driven at full resolution by an analogue signal, it's just a display. I will be removing this in a couple of days if nobody can justify it. I may also make further changes to the timeline, which isn't particularly illuminating in its current state! 90.214.85.73 (talk) 14:03, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

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)

I agree the DV was added later, and not well integrated. I thought about creating separate "Digital Audio" and "Digital Video" sub-heads, until I stopped and thought: Wait a minute -- "digital recording" is digital recording regardless of whether the output is audio or video. The process is identical, the 0s and 1s don't care how the signal is decoded afterward. It's all the same in how it's encoded and stored. Maybe somebody can make it read less confusingly, but on reflection, both DV and DA are "digital recording."Rcarlberg (talk) 02:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
