W14 - USER-CENTERED DESIGN OF CONTROLLERS FOR PRO AUDIO
Chair:
William Martens, McGill University - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Panelists:
Durand Begault, NASA Ames Research Center - Mountainview, CA, USA
Jeremy Cooperstock, McGill University - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering Studios - Portland, ME, USA
George Massenburg, GML - TN, USA
Abstract:
The design of controllers and/or work surfaces for music recording and mixing will be examined from the experienced user’s perspective. This examination motivated by the belief that there may be better ways to organize controllers, ways that prioritize access to controls in a manner that is based upon what experienced users know about how they do their work. The list of workshop panelists, which includes representatives from live sound, postproduction, and mastering, will have a brainstorming session about new control layouts using tools designed to stimulate “thinking outside of the box.” Also planned are breakout sessions, within which small groups will be lead to focus on particular applications and/or problems, with results that hopefully contribute some new and useful ideas.
