PMC "Masters of Audio": Jim Anderson, " 'Sixteen Sunsets' Jazz in Surround with Jane Ira Bloom"
Presenter:Jim Anderson, New York University - New York, NY, USA
Abstract:
Award winning soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom has always had a special feeling for ballads. The albumSixteen Sunsets features nine tunes from the American songbook classics including: Gershwin's "I Loves You Porgy," Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," Arlen's "Out of This World," Weill's "My Ship," Jimmy Van Heusen's "Darn That Dream," and Billie Holiday & Mal Waldron's "Left Alone," among others.
The album was recorded in 5.1 high-resolution Surround Sound at New York's famed Avatar Studio B by renowned engineer Jim Anderson who also co-produced and pushed the envelope of how a jazz quartet could sound using 5.1 recording techniques. JIB felt that "Surround" was a perfect match for the soprano sax because the sound doesn't emanate directly from the bell of the horn, it radiates out in all directions from the instrument in a more diffuse way. The saxophone was literally surrounded by a satellite array of mics for the sessions, and JIB's playing style was very well suited to the technique since she is always moving when playing.

Presenter:Martin Kelly, Pine Bush, NY, USA
Abstract:
Join Martin Kelly for a fascinating presentation on custom solutions for the technical challenges he faced as the audio supervisor on Spike TV’s Ink Master.
Competition reality television shows have especially complex audio requirements. Even in the best of circumstances, the sound department must provide multiple mixes in real time, all with pristine audio, with no retakes. On Ink Master, the audio department faces the additional dilemma of noisy tattoo guns and a massive number of microphone channels for contestants, judges, and the human canvases.
Sound Supervisor Martin Kelly discusses the details of the design and implementation of Ink Master's production sound mixing and recording systems. Dante network technology was used to connect and integrate mixers and recorders from multiple manufacturers including Yamaha, Lectrosonics, JoeCo, Sound Devices and Boom Recorder.
After the discussion, a custom touch screen audio control surface created to allow an operator to route the 40 inputs to up to 8 camera mixes on the fly will be demonstrated followed by a q&a session.

Intelligent Compression in the Analog Domain
Presenter:Michael Deming, CharterOak Acoustic Devices
Abstract:
Intelligent Compression in the Analog Domain
Utilizing a unique control circuit, a totally new approach to AGC, and entirely discrete electronics, the CharterOak SCL-1 provides completely artifact free compression. The device achieves this through waveform differentiation and integration. The SCL-1 employs a rectifier circuit that has a parabolic average charge curve. The intent of the circuit is to provide fast releases of rhythmic and staccato peaks, and longer releases of legato notes, within the user established range of dynamic compression, which release to a continually changing average level or sustained music, which is determined by the parabolic charge curve of the storage capacitors.
