I'm here basically to add information to musicians' websites and make some of the pages on gear and sound recording at least minimally intelligible to civilians. Cheers.

Encyclopedia vs textbook
Ok, so encyclopedia vs textbook. Hard concept, right? One is a collection of concise, introductory articles on noteworthy subjects. The other is 4000 word chapters on the acoustics of rotary speakers and lots of funky-looking equations. Folks, if you want to write the latter, swell. But please do it here:

www.wikibooks.com

Some of us are just looking for some quick answers! I don't want anyone to have to take a course in audio engineering just to get the gist of the article on EQ.

Some things about me

 * I like to write things people can read.
 * I’m much more likely likelier to cut words than add them.
 * I believe in using words like “pitch”, “loudness” and “sound” as well as “frequency”, “amplitude” and “signal”.

Wikipriorities

 * Translate articles pertaining to sound effects and recording from Gearweigan to English, since not everyone is born knowing what "signal", "line-level", "gain" and "outboard" are.
 * Vastly improve the articles pertaining to analog recording.

Pages I've got my eye on

 * Analog recording
 * Distortion
 * Pitch shift

Pages I've contributed to
Here are some pages I've either created or contributed to significantly:
 * Cave (band)
 * Growing
 * Mahjongg (band)
 * Effects units
 * Equalization (audio)

And in case you were wondering
The greatest living rock and roll drummer is: The greatest living rock and roll bassist is: But the guitarist I like most, just because, is:
 * Stewart Copeland
 * Mike Watt
 * Duane Denison
