Student Design Competition
Moderator:Colin Pfund, University of Hartford - West Hardford, CT, USA
Abstract:
The three graduate level and three undergraduate level finalists of the AES Student Design Competition will present and defend their designs in front of a panel of expert judges. This is an opportunity for aspiring student hardware and software engineers to have their projects reviewed by the best minds in the business. It's also an invaluable career-building event and a great place for companies to identify their next employees. Students from both audio and non-audio backgrounds are encouraged to submit entries. Few restrictions are placed on the nature of the projects, but designs must be for use with audio. Examples include loudspeaker design, DSP plug-ins, analog hardware, signal analysis tools, mobile applications, and sound synthesis devices. Products should represent new, original ideas implemented in working-model prototypes.
The Student Design Competition Judges are: Aurelio Uncini, Sapienza University of Rome; Stefano Daino, DSP-Quattro; Patrizio Pisani, ZP Engineering; Roberto Magalotti, B&C Speakers.

Recording Competition—Part 1
Abstract:
The Student Recording Competition is a highlight at each convention. A distinguished panel of judges participates in critiquing finalists of each category in an interactive presentation and discussion. This event presents stereo and surround recordings in these categories:
• Traditional Studio Recording
• Modern Studio Recording
The top three finalists in each category, as identified by our judges, present a short summary of their production intentions and the key recording and mix techniques used to realize their goals. They then play their projects for all who attend. Meritorious awards are determined here and will be presented at the closing Student Delegate Assembly Meeting (SDA-2). The competition is a great chance to hear the work of your fellow students at other educational institutions. Everyone learns from the judges’ comments even if your project isn’t one of the finalists, and it’s a great chance to meet other students and faculty members.
