New AES Membership Status Logos
A new addition to the AES Member Portal is the opportunity for members to download dedicated graphics denoting their Audio Engineering Society membership status. These new logos can be used for email signatures, social media badges, or any other place where members want to display their Society status and dedication to the art and science of audio engineering. AES Membership logos are also great for linking to members’ AES Member Profiles – their personal page on the AES site, which can be used to share bios, membership activities, credits and work history, external links, awards and other relevant industry information. Remember too, everyone wins with the new AES Refer a Friend program – each new or lapsed renewing member nets 10% of the membership rate, as does the referring member.
Milan Convention Wrap-Up
AES 144th Convention With registration exceeding 1900, the recent convention held in Milan, Italy can be judged a resounding success. At the opening ceremonies, AES President David Scheirman noted that 2018 marks the 70th Anniversary of the Society, which now counts over 12,500 members worldwide, and has seen eight-percent membership growth in the first quarter of 2018 compared to 2017. While highlighting the benefits of membership, including the largest repository of audio knowledge on the planet – the over 17,000 papers in the AES online E-Library and over 200 videos in the AES Live: Videos series – Scheirman encouraged all audio professionals to become members and for all members to “get involved”.
145th Convention Committee Announced
AES 145th Convention The organizing committee of the 145th AES International Convention in New York City has been announced, as plans get underway for the largest Audio Engineering Society event of the year. This year’s AESNY Convention, once again being co-located with NAB New York Show, will be led by Co-Chairs Paul Gallo, Valerie Tyler and Jonathan Wyner. It will feature four full days of research presentations, workshops, and tutorials and three days of exhibition floor showcases and demos from leading names in professional audio manufacturing and services, along with the popular Project Studio Expo, Live Sound Expo, and other specialized events. Additionally, AES Student and Career activities will include recording and design competitions, a new MATLAB plugin design competition, career fair and other ways to network with students and professionals from around the world. Registration is currently open, with deep discounts for AES Members and Student Members, at aesshow.com.
June Inside Track Features Hearing and Hearing Loss Prevention
The AES Inside Track features expert industry curators highlighting a topic of choice, with editorial insight as well as links to related research topics, videos, and more. It's available exclusively through the AES Member Portal and is a member benefit, free to all AES members. This month's curator is Jon Boley, joint papers chair for the 2018 AES International Conference on Music Induced Hearing Disorders, for which there is still time to register. As Jon explains, our ability to hear is a crucial part of our lives and careers, but we all have difficulty hearing in some situations. Unfortunately, exposure to loud sounds (including music) can degrade our ability to hear and make those challenging situations even more so. This month's Spotlight video interview, hosted by Francis Rumsey, features Chris Baume talking about his paper on a novel approach to speech editing for radio, using a digital pen, published in the May AES Journal.
