George Peterson has a post on Facebook talking about the advent of digital audio and giving a brief history. The following is the first reply in the thread.
"does anyone here remember editing digital audio in Hex? (fairlight, Synclavier and Sonic Solutions) when Bob Lentini came up with visual editing (waveform) it changed the industry from that point onwards, now with spectral editing (CEDAR in the late 1990s) even the impossible is possible) i can’t wait to see what the next advancement will be (floating point algorithms are a huge failure for sound quality, but make it easier on the coders and allow for some crazy theoretical headroom)."
Bob, is this true? I had no idea.
