Why YOU should contribute to WikiAudio!

We know that everyone may not be able to explain the physics of wave propagation, but most people have a little bit of know-how they can share with the world. With the explosion of digital audio technology and especially home recording there are more people than ever learning and being creative with audio and sound.As a result many people actually know a lot more than they give themselves credit for but they take their specialized knowledge for granted! You may not know how to design an API mic pre from scratch ( and if you do please participate!) but chances are you might know a little about antique radios, some technical information about a particular guitar pedal, how to operate a particular drum machine, or some history about the recording techniques of your favorite song. All this information has a place here and is encouraged and welcome! Not to mention it's a cool way to meet people with the same interests as you!

For those more serious about creating stable compendium style articles please read the guidelines of participation section.
