AES Journal 2012 Editorial Schedule
The Journal of the Audio Engineering Society is a peer-reviewed journal published ten times a year. All members of the AES, as well as many nonmember subscribers, receive the Journal. Society membership is composed of professionals engaged in the theory, design, application, sales, and purchase of audio components and systems. Circulation: 14,000+.
The AES holds two major international conventions per year where technical and scientific papers are presented by academicians, electrical engineers, acousticians, sound system designers, recording/broadcast engineers, and others active in the global audio engineering community. Asterisks (*) represent special Journal coverage of these conventions.

| *Preview: | 132nd Convention, Budapest, Hungary, April 26–29 | |
| Feature Article: | Archiving and Preservation | |
| Looking after the recording legacy of the past is a growing challenge. This topic was addressed during a number of workshops and tutorials at the 131st Convention. Reissues of the great artists of the past are big business these days. There are numerous technical questions about media file management for storage, backup, and retrieval of digital audio. | ||

| Conference Report: | 44th Conference, San Diego | |
| Feature Article: | Audio Networking | |
| It is now commonplace to transfer digital audio information over computer networks. This technology has come a long way since the early days of 10-Base-T Ethernet. The 44th International Conference was entirely devoted to this topic. We review the latest developments in this field, including wireless streaming, clock synchronization, and upcoming standards for professional audio networks. | ||
| APRIL | March 2, 2012 | March 9, 2012 |
| Preview: | 46th Conference on Audio Forensics, Denver, CO, June 14–16 | |
| Preview: | 47th Conference on Music-Induced Hearing Disorders, Chicago, IL, June 20–22 | |
| Feature Article: | Soundfield Analysis and Reproduction | |
| There is a growing interest in systems that can process soundfields to manipulate their spatial characteristics, among other aspects. The latest research in this field includes auditory depth control, environment-aware acoustic sensing and rendering, and acoustic beam-forming. | ||
| MAY | April 2, 2012 | April 9, 2012 |
| Feature Article: | Making Records in the Mobile Era | |
| Budgets are small, retail is dying, studios are closing, fed-up audiences are taking music at will ... yet devoted music professionals continue to make records for a living. How are they doing it? How are they getting paid? Thanks to mobile devices, cloud computing, and innovative software algorithms, we are seeing a further democratization of the music creation and production process. Innovative iPad/iPhone applications, cloud-based audio sharing, and collaboration sites can turn virtually any user into a content producer. We review two key workshops on these themes held at the 131st Convention. | ||
| JUNE | May 2, 2012 | May 9, 2012 |
| Preview: | 48th Conference on Automotive Audio, Munich, Germany, September, 21–23 | |
| Feature Article: | Time–Frequency Processing in Audio | |
| Audio is commonly processed in the frequency domain. There are many applications, such as audio compression techniques (mp3 and AAC), that take advantage of the resolution of the human auditory system. Time–frequency processing is also applied actively in sound analysis and synthesis, as well as in speech processing. An emerging field consists of multichannel and spatial applications utilizing time–frequency processing. These were some of the themes of papers presented at the recent 45th International Conference in Finland. | ||

| *Convention Report: | Coverage 132nd Convention, Budapest | |
| *Preview: | 133rd Convention, San Francisco, October 26–29 | |
| Feature Article: | Stokowski and the Evolution of Recording Techniques | |
| Leopold Stokowski was active as a recording artist from 1917 until 1977—virtually the entire period of the recording of music by analog technology. Further, due to his obsessive interest in the art and technology of recording, he was frequently in contact with engineers and researchers who were working on technical advances. Therefore, it is possible to trace most of the major developments in analog recording over nearly 60 years through examining the recordings of Leopold Stokowski. Robert Auld’s multimedia presentation at the 131st Convention paid special attention to his involvement in the development of multichannel sound recording, including his collaboration with Bell Labs starting in 1932, his work with Walt Disney for the film Fantasia, and his encouragement of recording in quadraphonic sound in the 1970s. | ||
| SEPTEMBER | August 2, 2012 | August 9, 2012 |
| Conference Report: | Coverage 46th International Conference, Denver | |
| Conference Report: | Coverage 47th International Conference, Chicago | |
| Feature Article: | Low Bit-Rate Coding | |
| There continue to be substantial developments in the field of low bit-rate audio coding, including the design of low-delay codecs, the improvement of error robustness, and the unification of speech and audio coding into a single standard. Signals such as applause are typically difficult to code using parametric techniques, leading to the need for tools to process transients in novel ways. | ||

| Sustaining Member Review: | Company profiles, products and services | |
| Feature Article: | Music-Induced Hearing Disorders | |
| With the advent and omnipresence of portable listening devices and louder sound systems for live sound reproduction, the interest in music-induced hearing disorders and their measurement and prevention is global. The 47th International Conference in June provided attendees with a detailed understanding of state-of-the-art hearing-loss-prevention strategies and devices as they relate to music production and reproduction. | ||
| NOVEMBER | October 2, 2012 | October 9, 2012 |
| Conference Report: | 48th Conference, Munich | |
| Feature Article: | Audio Forensics | |
| We review the latest research in audio forensics, presented at the recent 46th Conference, including forensic applications of speech/signal processing, acoustical analyses, audio authentication, and the examination of methodologies and best practices. A special focus will be made on the recording, recovery, analysis, and interpretation of audio evidence. | ||
| DECEMBER | November 2, 2012 | November 9, 2012 |
| *Convention Report: | Coverage 133rd Convention, San Francisco | |
| Feature Article: | Automotive Audio | |
| Over the last 20 to 30 years, automotive audio has changed dramatically from being standard mono sound in one full-range loudspeaker to a true multichannel playback system fully integrated and adjusted to the specific car. The designer of an automotive sound system is challenged by numerous physical factors such as inadequate loudspeaker locations, limited space for the system integration, a significant level of background noise, and music that is produced for a listening room. However, many people today spend more time listening to music while driving than in their homes, so an increased demand for high-quality audio reproduction has emerged for cars. | ||
