Talk:Howie Weinberg

message: There are some references to Howie Weinberg apart from the innumerable album sleeves and Masterdisk's website. Here are a few:
* An interview at redbullmusicacademy.com - giving lots of biographical information
* A blog entry crediting him with singlehandedly killing modern music :-)
* A video from remixmag.com
* A bio connected to his appearance on a panel at SXSW'09
That's just the top of the crop. Searching for "legendary Howie Weinberg" gives > 1000 hits too.
According to this search at mixfoundation.org, he won their award, the 'Technical Excellence and Creativity Award', in 1997, 2003 and 2006.
Yep, I think he's notable. Even though I'm totally unfamiliar with his work. --Alvestrand (talk) 15:36, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The source used for his career credits is ALLMUSIC.  In that source, in the table, just right of "Credits", it says (1-2,258 of 2,258).  There's no second page.  When I search for "master" in my browser, it finds that 2226 times on the page.  There are a couple outliers like albums Roadmaster and Master of Puppets, but that's about right.  So round down a bit and "over 2,200 mastering credits", as in my edit.  How do you arrive at your figure of 19,000?  That seems exceedingly high, even across a 42-year career. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:28, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're starting to convince me on this.  My main hangup was that it was repetitive and could probably be summarized a bit.  What would you think about having some of his more notable works in the prose (e.g.: Licensed to Ill and Nevermind for sure, and maybe some others), and then follow with a complete awards table, cited, with a footnote explaining how the mastering engineer is high up the production hierarchy and is included for Best Album, etc.  Material in articles is supposed to be readily verifiable by a non-expert (like me) but although you need a couple sources and the Grammy rules to verify it, I can see some editors saying it's reasonable enough without calling it WP:SYNTH or WP:OR.  Would you mind if I asked for a quick third opinion on this, just to see if an uninvolved editor thinks it is reasonable? – Reidgreg (talk) 20:40, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
