What Is WikiRecording?

WikiRecording is, as the tag line suggests, a free online guide to audio recording that anyone can edit.

In the tradition of Wikipedia, known for being the most often and easily updated encyclopedia in history, WikiRecording is maintained by a community of audio engineers, producers, and musicians that strive to create an accurate and up to date guide for anyone interested in recording.

WikiRecording offers several services to the audio recording community:

  • Free and easy to find articles on all the basic principles of audio recording.
  • "Wiki" versions of audio equipment manuals (no more out of date manuals!)
