If it’s about audio, it’s at AES, and the 139th AES International Convention, October
29 – November 1, 2015, at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, is where the
Audio Engineering Society will once again showcase its popular Project Studio Expo
(PSE). Taking place October 30, 31, and November 1 at the PSE Stage on the
Exhibition floor, the Project Studio Expo offers presentations targeted to working in
personal and project studio environments and is open to all AES139 attendees with
either a FREE Exhibits-Plus or Premium All Access badge.
This latest edition of the AES Project Studio Expo, presented in association with
Sound On Sound and sponsors Genelec, Neumann and Prism Sound, offers
attendees an ideal environment to listen, learn and connect with their peers, while
bringing together the latest tools, techniques and experts in audio engineering and
production. This year’s presenters on the PSE Stage for days one and two are slated
to include respected industry veterans Craig Anderton, Larry Crane, Fab Dupont,
Brian Jackson, Manhattan Producers Alliance, Hugh Robjohns, Mike Senior, John
Storyk and Paul White. Topics cover a wide range of interesting and relevant topics,
from “Making the Most of Your Project Studio Purchasing Budget,’ “The Five Most
Common Project Studio Recording Mistakes,’ “Personal Networking for the Audio
Professional,’ “Outside the Box: Alternative Outlets for Your Music,’ and “Building
and Developing a Career,’ to more technical issues including “Levels, Headroom,
and Loudness,’ “The REAL Skills You Need to Record Professionally,’ “Mixing an
Ensemble Recording,’ and more.
On the third day of the Project Studio Expo, November 1, premier sponsor Prism
Sound will take over the PSE Stage to present their “Mic to Monitor’ series of
educational seminars and workshops. Targeted at all levels of music production and
engineering attendees, Mic to Monitor aims to dispel the many myths surrounding
the recording process. The events answer all-important questions, such as what
makes great gear “great,’ what it takes to become a successful and in-demand
audio engineer, how recording professionals tackle different aspects of their
productions, and how a hit sound is achieved. Each seminar features presentations
from recording professionals, with audience Q&A, and an opportunity to demo and
win recording equipment.
“Our Project Studio Expo events have really added a new dimension to the AES
Exhibition floor over the past few Conventions,” stated Bob Moses, AES Executive
Director. “Attendees can learn fundamentals and tricks of the trade from industry
masters, in a forum that is not available anywhere else. Our NY team and Sound On
Sound have upped the game yet again, and we invite everyone to come to one of
these sessions and see what the buzz is about.’
