PSE01 - The Art of Compression
Presenter:Jack Joseph Puig, Record Executive/Producer/Mixer - Hollywood, CA, USA
Compression and Limiting
Compression is the only real tool we have that can move the time due to the fact it’s based on time constants. The Art of Compression is not adding lots of level but understanding that compression is dynamic! Compression is not static. EQ is static. The ability to look at it as a shaper of attack and release as it relates to how the ear and brain perceives how instruments and vocals related to each other “time” / “feel” wise is the magic and expert level of compression use.
This does not preclude the importance of raising the “Average/RMS” level!
Or even peak limiting.
Remember in the end we are making music/art that must have a emotional effect on the listener and of course delivering the artist intent emotionally.
I will demonstrate how it is possible to change the feel and why it matters.

PSE10 - Programming Audio Specific DSPs Using a GUI Based Programming Tool to Optimize Code Development
Presenter:David Thibodeau, Analog Devices - Wilmington, MA, USA
Analog Devices Inc., will be demonstrating the SigmaStudio GUI based programming tool used to program the SigmaDSP line of digital signal processors. These processors are optimized for processing audio and include some micro-controller like features. The SigmaDSP line of products produced by Analog Devices INC., are a range of products starting with small cost-efficient DSPs with integrated analog and digital converters to large powerful DSPs that can interface to a wide variety of converters and other audio processing systems like Bluetooth and audio networks. The processors include integrated general purpose input and outputs (GPIO) to simplify interfacing to control switches and potentiometers for the adjustments of DSP parameters in real time. The higher-end processors are also capable of many micro-controller-like functions such as booting up external codecs (ADC and DAC ICs) and polling external ICs for errors. Most of the SigmaDSP products are capable of self-booting using an external EEPROM to enable the design of standalone systems that boot themselves and operate without a system controller. Of course, system controllers can be utilized for advanced system solutions.
Our demonstration will consist of developing an application using SigmaStudio starting from a blank file and coming up with a functioning solution and programming it into an EEPROM while you watch. Other more advanced concepts will be detailed using prepared projects that showcase capabilities and ease of programming.

There was a time in the music industry when album credits were second nature and easily found with vinyl records and CD packaging. In recent years, with downloading and streaming, there has been a steep decline in credit delivery and access. As a musician, singer, songwriter, producer or engineer, your credits most likely influence your ability to get your next gig, and it’s often also how you are identified for royalties. Music streaming services are beginning to come on board to show credits, and products have emerged to facilitate the process. Join us to hear how crediting is back in the forefront and how you can take advantage of it.
