César Lamschtein, born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1973, discovered his passion for audio and music at the tender age of 11. Fueled by this early fascination, he embarked on a journey to turn his passion into a lifelong career. In the early 1990s, he pursued his dream by obtaining a degree in audiovisual techniques in France, a pivotal moment coinciding with the seismic shift from analog to digital in the audio industry.
Returning to Uruguay, César immersed himself in various facets of the audio realm, from studio engineering to live sound mixing. With growing confidence, he transitioned into freelancing, consulting, and teaching, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey spanning over 25 years in the field.
His portfolio boasts collaborations with esteemed local and international artists, including luminaries like Joe Satriani, Bajo Fondo, and Placido Domingo, among others. Cesar's expertise extends beyond mere technical prowess; he's a seasoned educator, recognized with the Teaching Excellence Award from ORT University in 2010, and frequently sought after for lectures and presentations at audio technology events and schools.
César's contributions to the audio industry are multifaceted. He played a pivotal role in establishing Uruguay's first world-class recording studio and later assumed leadership of the audio and video department at the National Concert Hall. Since then, his main professional projects involve consulting in system integration for recording studios, live venue design and public address installation, as well as music production and sound reinforcement projects, among them, the Montevideo Philharmonic Orchestra where he serves as their main sound engineer.
Despite his extensive experience, César remains committed to continuous learning, attending masterclasses, workshops, and AES events worldwide. His recent foray into forensic audio culminated in a master's degree from the National Center for Media Forensics at CU Denver, where he received the Spring 2024 College of Arts & Media Outstanding Master's Student Award.
A staunch advocate for knowledge sharing and professional development, César joined the Audio Engineering Society (AES) in 1996 and has since been actively involved in its activities. He has been recognized for his outstanding contributions to audio education and leadership within the society, receiving prestigious awards such as the AES Board of Governors Award (2 times)and the AES Citation Award.
Fluent in Spanish, French, English, and Portuguese, César's global perspective and linguistic versatility enhance his ability to connect with diverse audiences across continents. He has maintained over the years a sustained leadership role in the society, serving 2 terms as Vice president, 2 years as a member of the board of directors as well as being part of the committee of AES Uruguay. He chaired the convention policy committee and collaborates in many other committee's including DE&I. He currently serves as the chair of the regions and sections committee and ombudsman.
