The AES Mexico 2016 Conference is set for March 13 – 15 in Mexico City, featuring
Masterclass presentations from top names in the industry, educational workshops,
listening experiences and more. This year’s Conference, once again held in
concurrence with Sound:Check Xpo, will also showcase AES President John Krivit in
a presentation focusing on student and career development being held on the
opening day of the show.
Hailed as the largest dedicated event for the Latin American professional audio
community each year, the AES Mexico Conference will once again offer an array of
top industry talent relating both personal and technical insights in their field. AES
President Krivit’s address, titled “From Student to Professional: Strategies and Best
Practices for Matriculating into Your Audio Career,’ is expected to be a highlight of
the conference’s opening day. In this session, Krivit will share tried and true
methods for achieving a foothold in the audio industry, and how industry trends can
help shape the way to finding jobs and setting up a successful career in professional
audio. Additional opening day sessions include “Line Arrays vs. Conventional
Systems: Adjustment and Optimization’ with Fernando Guzman, and “The
Challenges of Mixing a Live Band’ with Jose Rivera.
Day 2 events for the AES Mexico Conference begin with a workshop titled “The Art
of Equalizing Without the First EQ’ with recording, mixing, live sound and
electroacoustic systems engineer Andres Millan featuring several critical listening
and analysis examples. These will be followed by “Loudness From a Monitoring
Perspective’ with Thomas Lund, and closing out the day, “Saving Rock & Roll’ with
engineer/producer Erin Tonkon.
The final day of the conference will hold three additional events: An opening
workshop by Cesar Lamschtein titled “Mix Procedures. Staying Inspired and
Reactive’; A presentation on “Classical Music Recording on Location: Challenges and
Rewards’ by Marcela Zorro; and a tutorial on “DRC (Digital Room Correction)’
hosted by Mauricio Gargel.
AES President John Krivit stated, “It is an honor to represent the AES at the largest
Latin American professional audio event of the year, and to address the very active
and vibrant community of professionals in this region on an international scale.
Furthermore, to offer a focus on students – and everyone in the industry still
building their career path – reinforces the goals of the Audio Engineering Society to
unite audio engineers, artists, scientists and students worldwide through education
and the distribution of knowledge throughout the industry. It is because of events
such as the AES Mexico Conference that Latin America is our fastest-growing
region,’ concludes Krivit.
