The Audio Engineering Society announces its AES Live video collection available for
viewing on the aes.org website. Comprising a growing library of exclusive videos
featuring interviews with past, present and future leaders of our industry,
informative panels and presentations, oral histories and more, AES Live gives
members yet another tool for educating and enlightening themselves with added
insights on all things audio.

Harvested from over a dozen AES Conventions and Conferences, and continually
being updated throughout the year, the current lineup of AES Live videos covers an
array of topics including recording industry and home studios, live sound, product
design and manufacturing, archiving and restoration, education and more. Videos
include full-length presentations such as the “Analog Tape in a Digital World’ and
“GRAMMY SoundTables®: Songs That Move The Needle’ from the AES 137th
Convention, and “Theatrical Sound Design’ and “Mix and Mastering Optimized for
Streaming’ from the 139th Convention.

The collection also features a series of feature-length AES Live: Legends videos,
which contain formal interviews and insights of both historical and educational
interest from the likes of industry legends and innovators including Bruce Swedien,
Irv Joel, Jim Anderson, John Meyer, Phil Ramone, Ray Dolby and Les Paul. These
videos together represent the rich history and significant sonic impact, both
technically and aesthetically, of the contributions of these AES industry luminaries
to professional audio engineering. The series is geared towards anyone interested in
the how and why of modern audio production, including the pioneering work and
innovation that now defines an industry. Audio aspects of live performance,
recording, broadcast, product development, archiving and restoration are among
the technologies covered in the series.

“These AES Live videos represent some of the very best of what the Audio
Engineering Society offers. Our AES Live: Legends videos offer intimate portraits
that reveal the human aspect of these personalities, as well as their impact on the
science and art of audio. AES Live: Expo and Tutorial videos share the painstakingly
researched and produced live presentations that anchor AES conventions and
events,’ states AES Executive Director Bob Moses. “Bringing these inspirational and
educational experiences into the mobile and computing devices of our worldwide
membership further enhances the benefit of being an AES member while offering up
an engaging and enlightening experience for anyone involved, or wanting to be
involved, in audio engineering.’

AES President-Elect Alex Case, one of the Society’s most popular lecturers, is
serving as Producer of the AES Live content. “There’s nothing more fundamental to
the Society’s mission than sharing knowledge, and that includes preserving our
heritage,’ says Case. “The AES Live video series is the perfect complement to the
AES E-Library, bringing the E-Library’s 50 years of archived content to life. AES Live
offers education, illumination, inspiration and insight in a compelling user
experience. Browse now, and check back often, as we are continually releasing
video from the AES archives while generating new content with every AES
Convention and Conference.’
