April Meeting Notice

Adventures in Live Surround Performance

Presented by

David Miles Huber

and

The Pacific Northwest Section

The Audio Engineering Society

7:30pm, Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Youngstown Cultural Arts Center

4408 Delridge Way SW

Seattle, WA 98106

Directions to Youngstown Cultural Arts Center

The performance of music, particularly electronic music, in multi- channel surround has been gaining (re-gaining?) popularity of late. Just as the role of the DJ has expanded to include laptop-jockeys composing and remixing on the fly, so has the traditional 2 channel stereo setup expanded into quad, 5.1 and beyond. At the same time, performing in surround presents as many new challenges as it does sonic possibilities. Long-time audio adventurer, author, guru and electronic music composer David Miles Huber has been on the front lines of these challenges, and through a series of demonstrations and an informal presentation, will begin to sketch a map of some of his findings from the frontiers of this nascent form.

Topics to include (time permitting):

A quick historical look at surround sound & music
Surround music production
Mixing in vs. out of the box
Mastering for surround and delivery mediums
Surround in live performance
Speaker setup, location and calibration
Low Frequency Effects vs. Bass Management issues
Using Ableton Live for performance in surround
How to get into surround performance
And of course, your questions!
