 The Student Recording Competition

The SRC is a student event that is a highlight at each convention. A distinguished panel of judges participates in critiquing finalists of each category in an interactive presentation and discussion

Detailed schedule:

Part 1

Saturday, October 27, 5:30 pm — 6:30 pm (Room 133)

• Sound for Visual Media 5:30 to 6:30

Judges: Lora Hirschberg, Shawn Murphy, Richard King

Part 2

Sunday, October 28, 3:30 pm — 6:30 pm (Room 133)

• Traditional Acoustic Recording 3:30 to 4:30 

Judges: David Bowles, Martha de Francisco, Ulrike Schwarz

Judges: Jim Anderson, Brandie Lane, Glenn Lorbecki

• Modern Multitrack Studio Recording 5:30 to 6:30

Judges: Mark Rubel, Stephen Webber, Jim Kaiser

The top three finalists in each category, as identified by our judges, present a short summary of their production intentions and the key recording and mix techniques used to realize their goals. They then play their projects for all who attend. Meritorious awards are determined here and will be presented at the closing Student Delegate Assembly Meeting (SDA-2) on Monday afternoon. The competition is a great chance to hear the work of your fellow students at other educational institutions. Everyone learns from the judges’ comments even if your project isn’t one of the finalists, and it's a great chance to meet other students and faculty.
