Notability

[edit]

Excuse me! not notorious enough? How about this list of international distributors of rane equipment: http://www.rane.com/internat.html which contains representatives for 76 different countries?

And as for 3rd party publications, just go buy any music production magazine and you will find advertisements of rane products. Propably every single rane product has also been reviewed in music production magazines like ProAV or Future Music. An example review: http://proav.pubdyn.com/Product_Reviews/March2006PeerReviewRane.htm

As a general notification, rane manufactures propably *THE* finest and highest quality DJ mixers in existence. One of the most expensive as well. Many of the most famous international DJs demand a Allen & Heath or a Rane mixer on the party venue in their technical raiders. For example, DJ Sasha's tech raider: http://www.atesmim.com/fasafiso/2005_rider_master.jpg

They are certainly notable, but advertisements aren't an acceptable source. See Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for the guidelines. I'll see what I can find. — Omegatron 00:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anons examples aren't that great, but they've apparently had some papers published by the Audio Engineering Society, which is notable. See [1] and [2]. The constant-Q graphic equalizer might be a good example for the article. — Omegatron 01:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The technical library — sadly gone...

[edit]

For well over a decade, RANE had published a library/glossary of audio-related terms, but, sadly, they have stopped publishing it. It was an important glossary, referenced from several sources in the audio world, and, as mentioned before, was used by academic papers here and there as an authoritative reference.

The link posted on this article on the external references section is therefore dead. I suggest that it gets removed.

There is still an ancient backup stored on the Wayback Machine. This was written around February 2014. You can get a few more recent snapshots (until roughly 2016), but RANE had moved to a small search engine, allowing keyword searches, as opposed to merely publishing long lists of terms. Obviously, the Wayback Machine is unable to collect data from that engine, which has very likely been discontinued around 2016 or so.

The author of that reference, Dennis A. Bohn (79 at the time of writing), has moved his technical reference library — known as the Pro Audio Reference — to the Audio Engineering Society. However, since this link/page is not related to RANE any longer, it probably would not make any sense here on this article, although there could be a stub somewhere redirecting the link (it's also not listed under the page for the AES).
