Talk:Front 242

message: Hey, I added some info to a few albums today, but am now wondering what record label to list.  I initially put "Red Rhino" as the was the initial/original label, but should Epic be used instead? Tarc 00:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Record label to list? 

message: the section labeled "2008" is completely weird. what does releasing in 4 formats have to do with audio compression? the audio compression "controversy" isn't over MP3 codec compression, it's over transient-removing loudness maximization. what could that possibly have to do with a live recording? i think someone is very confused.
:By all means, make changes that correct the errors.  That is the point of a community-driven effort like Wikipedia.  If you see innaccuracies that you KNOW are innaccurate, then correct them appropriately.  Cheers --–m.f (t • c) 13:01, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Audio compression 

message: The "Formation" section says: "They decided not to use the regular waveform settings on their synthesizers, arguing that creating the waveform for each note was part of the creative process.[citation needed]"
Speaking as someone with 25 years of experience with synthesizers: this is close to meaningless. The phrase "regular waveform settings" doesn't really mean anything. Different types of synthesizers are capable of producing different types of waveforms, but none of them are any more "regular" than the others. And synth players certainly don't "create the waveform for each note". They *do* commonly design their own patches (sounds), but to say that they are "creating waveforms" is, at best, an odd way of putting it.
I suspect the author meant to say something like: "They decided not to use the presets [default sounds] on their synthesizers, arguing that designing their own patches was part of the creative process", but lacked the vocabulary to say it accurately.
At any rate, there's no cite for it—so I'm inclined to remove it.

replies: text: Since it's been there uncited for three years, and it's not very clear on the meaning, or perhaps even lacks meaning, I agree. I've gone ahead and removed it. Also moved your section to the bottom of the talk page to keep the chronology straight. —<B>Torchiest</B> talkedits 03:51, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

message: This is a wealth of information and includes footage from a 1986 documentary (which I hope to source as well).  The video was subtitled and re-released in advance of Festival Forte, but I am not sure of the copyright status of the this version; here's the link for reference and in lieu of an original from Canvas:

thread_title: Belpop Documentary

message: I've stubbed out two sections: Influences & Style (for their musical influences, music process, and style aspects & evolution) and Legacy (for cultural use of their materials, charts, and those who are influenced by 242).  These are a bit light on content now, but plenty out there that can be added here when referenced examples are found.

replies: text: For legacy I suggest "242" an Amiga demo by Virtual Dreams & Fairlight. The demo involves buying a Front 242 record, and was notable for its superior video compression. Reference : https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3202 217.155.10.206 (talk) 17:14, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
