Reference on Audio mastering

Andrew, I think your addition of a reference was fine; we had a similar argument over at Loudness War. I edited your addition to clean it up a bit, but I didn't want to add it and get involved in another fight over sources, so I am putting it here. However, I did delete the completely unwarranted warning tags from your page. Illuminatedwax 04:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Here are the changes I made:

Digital technology

In the 1990s, the old electro-mechanical processes were largely superseded by digital technology, with digital recordings transferred to digital masters by an optical etching process that employs laser technology. The digital audio workstation (DAW) became common in many mastering facilities, allowing the off-line manipulation of recorded audio via a graphical user interface (GUI). Although many digital processing tools are common during mastering, it is also very common to use analogue media and processing equipment for the mastering stage.

There are mastering engineers who feel that digital technology, as of 2007, has not progressed enough in quality to supersede analog technology, but others, such as Nika Aldrich, a well-known expert in the field, believes that upon close review of the parameters of audio as relevant to human perception, analog recording methods can be demonstrated to be "[...] incapable, however, of recording audible perfection."

Ambisonics

Your recent addition to the First-order Ambisonics and B-Format section of this article is good in itself. I see a problem, however, in that it duplicates material already in the section Recording techniques, and particularly in "Native" microphones. Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to move your addition into these sections. Perhaps you could take a look at this. (If you wish to respond please do so either at Talk:Ambisonics or here.) Many thanks, HairyWombat 15:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi HairyWombat, I'll see what I can do. Thanks for checking it out!
