The only facts in this article that can be

reliable sources are that Aura Sonic was founded in 1977([1]) and that owner Steve Remote has received one TEC Award([2]) and has been the recording engineer on one Grammy-winning album.([3]). Based on the awards, Remote might meet the criteria for inclusion (although mere listings in directories would probably not be sufficient to build an article around). But there is a clear lack of independent sources on which to build an article about Aura Sonic. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply

There are several independent sources here that provide a neutral point of view including Mix Magazine, Billboard, All Music, and Discogs. Several citations have been added. Compared to the Wally Heider Studios and other similar pages, the Aura Sonic biography has a great deal of verifiable sources and has since been given high trustworthy ratings.

Hey I actually just came across this article and the information about the Aura Sonic trucks through the years is actually really helpful. I had read about Steve in magazines before discussing his fleet but seeing them with their specs and pictures was really important.

This article is an accurate depiction of Aura-Sonic and its mobile fleet of trucks. Not only does it give notable sources for factual events and awards, that the Aura Sonic fleet has attended and received, but it also gives us an in depth description of the companies history and its capability in the mobile recording and live broadcasting industry. I could not see a reason why this page would be put up for deletion. Saying that there is not sufficient enough data to write an article on Aura-Sonic is preposterous and its impact on the recording industry, since 1977, has been huge, especially in the case of live production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.105.62.40 (talk) 16:16, 31 January 2013 (UTC) — 142.105.62.40 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

After reading about Aura Sonic through Gearslutz, reading various magazine articles such as Mix magazine and EQ magazine, and even hearing Grammy winning recordings that this company has produced, this page gives a great clarification as to who the company is and what location recording is about.

    • Comment I actually looked quite closely at that Mix Online article in considering this nomination. I'm sorry, I think it feels too much like an advertorial to be considered independent and reliable. The Cutting It Close entry is a blog, and the Billboard entry is something akin to a wrap up of recent press releases, although I will admit that the inclusion of that press release in the wrap up may well indicate that Billboard considered Aura Sonic of sufficient notability to be included.

      • There is also this source, though it can't be considered an independent one. I can see your concern on building an article with these types of sources and I accept that my sources for keep are weak at best. I think Steve Remote meets the criteria in

Why delete this article? Half Note Records [1] gets a page, and Aura Sonic Ltd has done the production on nearly every release listed there. Here [2] is but one example from CD Universe but yes, you may have to scroll down the page to actually see the credit to Steve Remote. One of the few companies left preserving the living history of Jazz through successful commercial releases, not only through the work for Half Note Records (the house label of the famed Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC [3]), but also for its years of work on the Newport Jazz Festival, most notably the TEC Award winning PBS production, but also every year since on NPR, the history of this company is interwoven with the modern history of the art form itself. The constant evolution of its recording trucks has had an impact on the design and philosophy of many of the other companies in its industry. I mean, Pepsi gets its own article, why not Aura Sonic Ltd.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndersonSoundRecording (talk • contribs) 23:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC) — AndersonSoundRecording (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I have worked with Aura Sonic before and I can say that Steve and his truck are the real deal. After reading the wikipedia article I can attest to the fact that none of this information is false. Aura sonic recorded my previous band Cosmos Says Hello on April 1st, 2012 at Studio at Webster hall in New York City. The job done by Aura Sonic team was leaps and bounds above any other live recording I have ever received. I have also had the opportunity to stop by the Aura Sonic truck and chat with it's owner. In his truck I was played recordings and videos that were done by Aura Sonic. I witnessed and heard recordings that were grammy winning and of outstanding quality. I have also seen video credits and cd credits of all the bands listed. This Article is 100 percent accurate and SHOULD NOT be taken down.
