Student Roundtable
Come share your unique experience as a student of audio. Bring your thoughts and perspectives to an open discussion to be moderated by the AES Student Delegate Assembly Officers who want to encourage this dialogue. How are you learning about audio? What is unique about your program and its facilities? How do co-curricular activities like the ones sponsored by AES and other organizations contribute to your experience?
Explore strategies for making connections with the professional world and discuss the curriculums and philosophies of your programs. Students, faculty, alumni, industry
professionals, and anyone interested in commenting on the state of audio education are welcome to participate.

Recording Competition: Part 1
Abstract:
The Student Recording Competition is a highlight at each convention. A distinguished panel of judges participates in critiquing finalists of each category in an interactive presentation and discussion. This event presents stereo and surround recordings in these categories:
• Traditional Non-Multitrack Acoustic Recording – 16:30–17:30
• Sound for Visual Media – 17:30–18:30
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 Sunday 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 members.
