Welcome to the Professional sound production WikiProject! If you would like to contribute to this project, please take a look at the Open tasks to see specific needs. Don't forget to add your name to the members list!

Goals

• To clearly organize the articles within the 3 sub-topics of professional sound production (See Scope).
• To improve the quality of articles related with professional sound production

Hopefully this project will improve the organization or these articles to the point of creating navigation templates, or even a series, with a few WP:FACs and WP:FARs to top it off.

Scope

This project covers all articles which cover the technology, equipment or professions relating to

1. Recorded Media (audio & film)
2. Sound Reinforcement (events such as concerts & theatre) and
3. Broadcast (live television & radio).

This project is not as broad as the Entertainment Technology WikiProject. For example, this project is not concerned with Stage Lighting and DJ-related articles. Perhaps this project can be seen as a child of the Entertainment Technology WikiProject.

Scope Ambiguity

When it comes to phenomena within Professional sound production, it has been hard to decide whether or not the article is within this project's scope, especially when it seems like the Physics WikiProject already has it covered. Since some phenomena, though a topic within physics, are exclusive and specific within Professional sound production, it is important to include them in this project's scope. For example, the article on Sound need not be included, since most aspects of this generic topic are consistent throughout most fields. However, an article like Audio feedback which is technically under the scope of physics, is a phenomenon exclusive and very important to Professional sound production. This project's goal is to include every article pertinent, yet not cut out too much work for ourselves.That said, if you have any questions regarding scope ambiguity, please discuss it on the project discussion page.
