May Inside Track Features Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality
The AES Inside Track features expert industry curators highlighting a topic of choice, with editorial insight as well as links to related research topics, videos, and more. It's available exclusively through the AES Member Portal and is a member benefit, free to all AES members This month's curator is Gavin Kearney, vice-chair of the AES Technical Committee on Audio for Games and leader of the Audio for New Realities sub-group. As Gavin explains, virtual and augmented reality is a rapidly growing market with applications not only in gaming and cinematic presentations, but also in music production, broadcast, social media, healthcare and education. Spatial audio is an essential underlying technology for VR and AR, being used not only to give a strong sense of reality, but also to add ‘hyper-reality’ to make immersive experiences visceral and plausible. This month's Spotlight video interview hosted by Francis Rumsey, continues the hot topic of mixing for object-based audio. It features Jon Francombe talking about his JAES paper on mix parameters for modifying envelopment, published in the March AES Journal.
New AES Live Videos Available
AES Live videos are part of a growing library of content from recent events and other sources, and are only available to members. We've recently added a number of new ones, so here's a sample to whet your appetite:
Greatest JAES Papers of All Time?
"What are the greatest JAES papers of all time?" asks AES Publications Policy Committee Chair, Josh Reiss, in his recent blog post promoting the AES E-Library. "I was curious which were the most important JAES papers, so had a look at Google Scholar to see which had the most citations," says Reiss. "This has lots of issues, not just because Scholar won’t find everything, but because a lot of the impact is in products and practice, which doesn’t usually lead to citing the papers. Nevertheless, I looked over the list, picked out some of the most interesting ones and following no rules except my own biases, selected the Greatest Papers of All Time Published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society."

Standards News
Waves has joined the AES Standards Sustainer program at the Silver level. Presonus has also joined at the Silver level. Attero Tech has joined the Standards Sustainer program at the basic level. The generosity and support of all three companies is greatly appreciated. The standards work of the Audio Engineering Society has been vital to the advancement of the audio industry. Numerous standards in development are driving an expansion of the AES standards operation, which necessitates an expanded base of funding. Unlike other technical societies with standards programs the AES does not charge participation fees.
