AES/APRS/DV247 Event: Talkback-Pro 3—The Myths and Mysteries of DSP

Moderator:
Wes Maebe

Abstract:
Where would we be without DSP? Given the colossal and ubiquitous influence DSP processing has all our functionality, the answer probably would be "way back in the analog world" but is there good DSP and bad DSP? What should our priorities be when it comes to spending on A/D – D/A, soft auxiliaries, tracking and mixing programs, and master/finalizing tools.

Issues with interfaces, latency, compression, and plain taste will always plague the subjective judgments of engineers and producers. Is there a "normal" digital base upon which creativity can grow unhindered by the pitfalls of mismatched technologies, uneven standards, and deliberate hurdles to interoperability.

Clearing the cloudy mists that envelop proprietary toys will be a panel of technologists, enthusiasts, and practitioners.
