"Our 4 day program of over 150 workshops, tutorials and round table discussions on digital cinema, loudness, spatial audio and other timely topics, packed our presentation rooms. In addition to a solid pro industry turnout, we attracted many enthusiastic students whose quest for information and mentors was palpable. Our sponsors were uniformly pleased with the new customers in attendance throughout the Convention. I feel confident that we are on a good path in Europe and look forward to expanding this new AES model in future years," he adds.

"It became apparent that we had enough perceptive, well-researched events to establish a formal Spatial Sound Track." "By assembling nearly two dozen papers and four timely workshops into a dedicated bloc, we can direct 3-D Sound-focused attendees to a comprehensive overview on this topical field."

The FCC, EBU, and ITU have responded with a family of standards aimed at measuring and controlling loudness, and designed to ensure an acceptable listening experience. 134th AES Convention Chairman, Umberto Zanghieri, reports that the Loudness Track, anchored in a full day of focused events on Sunday May 5th, represents, "A comprehensive and authoritative overview of the many complex issues related to this enduring problem." AES Rome 2013 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:00:00 -0600 http://www.aes.org/press/?ID=198 http://www.aes.org/press/?ID=198 "The AES has always been the place for the audio industry to promote innovation, education, and best practices," states Executive Director Bob Moses. "In the past, the exhibition provided a platform for companies to showcase the latest and most advanced technologies for recording, live sound, broadcast and related audio fields. But during the past decade, e-commerce, social networking, mobile platforms, economic struggles, and the increasingly rapid pace in which we work, have coalesced into a total game changer. We're exploring a number of new ways AES can serve businesses at the convention and beyond. These initiatives are part of our new convention sponsorship program."

AES Rome 2013 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:00:00 -0600 http://www.aes.org/press/?ID=196 http://www.aes.org/press/?ID=196 "The early filmmakers classic term 'MOS' is virtually obsolete," states 134th AES Convention Chairman, Umberto Zanghieri. "Most audio produced today is directly associated with cinema, TV, Internet, streaming broadcasts, video games, and mobile. It is almost inconceivable to imagine pictures 'Mit Out Sound.' This Convention's Sound For Pictures Track Chair, Brian McCarty, has developed a particularly compelling program of Papers, Tutorials and Workshops," Zanghieri adds.
