I guess InMusic bought Rane because of the success of the Rane rotary DJ mixer. Rane was a small target.
 
IMO it is a good thing that Dennis Bohn has preserved the RANE reference material by donating it to AES.

I have my own Dennis Bohn story from the 80s. Before I went to work at Peavey I was writing my Audio Mythology column for RE/P magazine. Peavey did not ask me to stop, but the time commitment to drop everything for a few days to crank out a new column became a serious conflict with my intense work schedule. On top of that RE/P wanted to increase from every other month, to every month, making it easier for me to bow out.

Apparently Dennis was a fan of my column and assumed that I was an old fart who either died or retired when it stopped. In his words I was "resting" perhaps an euphemism for the final dirt nap.  :-[  Imagine my surprise reading in a trade magazine that I was "resting" now... I didn't feel very rested.  ;D ;D https://www.prosoundweb.com/exposing-mythology-about-equalizers-equalization/ . I got to surprise Dennis in return by walking into the RANE booth at the next trade show (NSCA) and introducing myself.  8)

We all want to leave more than footprints in the sand, if this (RANE reference) become Denis' legacy he could do a lot worse. Sadly it appears that his well respected audio electronics business is now reduced to a couple DJ mixers.

OK good news... Dennis Bohn donated the Rane tech notes to AES when he retired. Now they are copyright AES, so not only available but updated as needed.

So if I get this right...  Dennis Bohn donated the notes to AES and AES won't make these available unless you're a member?

Thanks John. I missed that.
 
If you go looking for "Rane notes", the par, at

http://www.aes.org/par/r/

gives you a link to the old rane.com, which is gone...

It seems the AES has a funny idea how websites should work. Strange search function. One uses Google. C'mon, AES.

Or is that cause I'm not logged in? Not a member of that club, sorry. As a non-member, each Rane note will cost you 33$...

A bit steep, perhaps, for a resource that used to be free.

That link opens up to the rane glossary on page R....

I don't know what you are smoking. I let my AES membership expire last century.

If you click on "RaneNotes: A series of technical notes written by Rane's technical staff." it will redirect you to the Rane's website, which comes up with a 404 error.
 
And if you manage to find the Rane notes in the AES lib, it'll cost you 33$ to see just one of them...

sorry if this isn't perfect.

No need to apologise for the policy of the AES, John. There's a number of places you can find the notes. I just don't post the links here, in case the AES might go on a copyright rampage...

I wonder if that's what the author of the notes wanted. I doubt it, since they were free before.
