sources for off topic/related topic/off the wall quesitons

we get a lot of questions that are not exactly audacity issues

suggest we start a resource that lists all the other sources that may be more helpful

eg list all the home recording forums, wikipedia for general facts on db and loudness wars etc, other technical sources for digital algorithms, PC forums for all those win7 vista issues, etc.

these would work best if we could create one page that could be updated with the url and a short description of its content
and group urls under headers like PC, audio general, audio technical, or whatever.

is this feasible? anybody think it would help?

It could be useful, but
(a) it could rapidly get so big as to be unusable (probably won’t know without trying)
(b) would anyone read it? (it could be made “sticky”, and may be a useful resource to point to in replying to questions, much as we do with existing documentation).
(c) who’s going to maintain it? (have you just volunteered?)

Why don’t you start something off - perhaps a page in the “Recording Equipment” section for links regarding hardware, and a page in the “Audio Processing” section for links regarding recording technology/techniques/digital audio etc.

<<<would anyone read it?>>>

It’s not for everyone. It’s for us.

Did you just turn a simple one-page listing of odd links into a multiple wiki page career move?

It’s probably a cousin to something I posted locally.

If you back up one directory, it gets even broader.

okay
have a list of sorts
will try to post it

actually two of them

posted one for general recording mix/master etc forums and info sources

posted one for list of audio suppliers on the web

we could still use one for pc related issues
such as drivers and settings

any others that would help ?
