Nscor
- ... that the source material for Curtis Roads's electronic composition nscor was realized at six studios for a period of five years? Source: "The starting point was a collection of tapes of source material that I had produced over the previous five years at different studios." Roads, Curtis (2001). Microsound. Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press. p. 306 ISBN 978-0-262-18215-7.
The number of studios was derived from lists in Roads, Curtis (1985). "The Realization of nscor". In Roads, Curtis (ed.). Composers and the Computer. Los Altos, California: William Kaufmann. pp. 146, 165–166. ISBN 978-0-865-76085-1.- Comment: My third DYK, QPQ not needed I think.

Overall: 
The article was created on February 2 and nominated within time. Length is adequate and the article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues were detected. The proposed hook is interesting, but needs a citation at the end of the sentence which supports the hook. Images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. QPQ is not required since the nominator has less than five DYK credits. The introduction/lead section is too short. It should be two to three sentences based on the size of the article. I suggest including one general summary sentence, followed by one sentence to summarize the "Background" section, then one sentence to summarize the "Reception" section. Overall the article is in fair condition and will be nice to see on the main page. Flibirigit (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC) Flibirigit (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Flibirigit: I expanded the lead. It's cited inline (Roads 2001, p. 306), and I believe WP:CITEDENSE discourages using the same citation for multiple sentences from the same source, unless it's not obvious. For example, there's also three sentences with a single citation in the second paragraph of the background section. RoseCherry64 (talk) 23:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- A citation is required directly at the end of the sentence that supports the hook, as per WP:DYKCRIT which overrides any other guideline. Please see the section "Eligibility criteria, 3. Cited hook". Flibirigit (talk) 00:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Flibirigit: Revised. RoseCherry64 (talk) 04:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
The hook is now properly cited, and will AGF on the sources. The nomination now adheres to all DYK criteria. Flibirigit (talk) 11:29, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
