The Audio Engineering Society | Latin America is pleased to announce that the last edition for its StudentRecording Competition, part of the 2011 AES Latin American Conference on August 30th, 31st and September 1st, has developed with much active participation and resonant success among the young of the region and the audio community altogether.
Work had arrived from students coming from across the continent, including such countries as Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela. The group of judges was conceived as the sum of many of the most renowned professionals in the land: Marcela Zorro (Colombia), Rodrigo Alsueta (Uruguay) Jorge Azama (Peru),Cesar Lamschtein (Uruguay), Andrés Mayo (Argentina), Roberto Muñoz (Chile) y Renato Zamora (Ecuador).
Among the novelties for this 2011 edition of the Latin American Competition, and for the very first time in the history of the Society, it is that the chance for student participation through teleconference was made open, allowing a contestant to present his/her work and defense via the Skype software. Also formerly unavailable was the possibility for a duo or small group of student members to join the Competition and be able to step up together to discuss their work with the judges as finalists at the RC Sessions. Never before had the AES Latin America given out the brand new “non-tangible” prize to Competition winners, in the form of Studio Time (Sondor Recording Studios; Vivace Recording Studios) or Scholarships (EMU School of Audio, Buenos Aires; ORT University, Uruguay), apart from the more common audio hardware or software awards (prizes by Focusrite, Mackie, Novation, REAPER).
The list for the Competition winners includes the following:
Edgar Iván Osorio Cocotle (Sección Estudiantil Sala de Audio) | Mexico
Lizbeth Estefanía Rodriguez Recalde + Juan Francisco Jiménez Pachecho | Ecuador
Melissa Vargas García | Colombia
Alejandro Yllarramendy López | Venezuela
Steve Gerardo Morales García | Guatemala
Francesca Crossa Espino | Uruguay
Some of their presentations are available online for download at the AES LAC2011 Student Recording Competition official website.
The AES LAC2011 Student Recording Competition constituted the very second event of its kind to take place in the Latin American region. We look forward to a bigger contest and wider student participation for the coming Competition next year, at the AES LAC2012 in Ciudad de Guatemala, Guatemala.
