Special Event: SE00 - How Next Generation Audio Innovations Will Reshape the Mobile Device Experience

Presenter:
Jyri Huopaniemi, Nokia - Espoo, Finland

Sound has been a fundamental building block of mobile telephony and mobile devices since the very beginning of the connectivity era. Significant advances have since been made in the quality and variety of audio-based applications. However, there are areas where audio has not yet reached its true potential. In this talk we focus on areas of mobile audio that are currently gaining consumer attention: communication, immersion, and user-generated content.

Today, people are telling their stories with technology, and they are increasingly using mobile devices to capture the full richness of their lives; in pictures, videos, and sounds. We discuss solutions and opportunities which allow consumers to capture and share audio with depth, direction, and detail.

The use of voice has quickly expanded from person-to-person communication in voice and conference calls to voice-based control. The rapid emergence of intelligent assistants places significant new requirements on the quality of sound capture and rendering. In parallel, the basic function of mobile devices, namely voice calls, has undergone significant improvements in quality. We offer a glimpse to some of the challenges and future opportunities in voice-based applications and immersive voice and audio services.

Project Studio Expo Recording Stage: PSE01 - The Art of Compression

Presenter:
Jack Joseph Puig, Record Executive/Producer/Mixer - Hollywood, CA, USA

Compression and Limiting

Compression is the only real tool we have that can move the time due to the fact it’s based on time constants. The Art of Compression is not adding lots of level but understanding that compression is dynamic! Compression is not static. EQ is static. The ability to look at it as a shaper of attack and release as it relates to how the ear and brain perceives how instruments and vocals related to each other “time” / “feel” wise is the magic and expert level of compression use.
This does not preclude the importance of raising the “Average/RMS” level!
Or even peak limiting.
Remember in the end we are making music/art that must have a emotional effect on the listener and of course delivering the artist intent emotionally.
I will demonstrate how it is possible to change the feel and why it matters.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL AWARD
David Bialik

The Keynote Speaker for the 145th Convention is Thomas Dolby.

Thomas Dolby – musician, technologist and educator – has a 35-year career of technical innovation. Perhaps most widely known for his seminal song and music video “She Blinded Me with Science,” Dolby blazed the trail for electronic music creators with his recordings and imaginative videos. He is also known for his work as a producer, as a composer of film scores, as a technical consultant on emerging entertainment platforms and as a filmmaker. Since the Fall of 2014, Dolby has held the post of Homewood Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. Thomas Dolby’s AES Keynote address will focus on next-generation sound technologies, in particular adaptive/non-linear music and audio for games, VR/AR, “hearables” and other new media platforms. The title of his speech is “The Conscious Sound Byte.”

A big difference between "real" and "electronic" sounds is that electronic sounds have zero awareness of each other.” Sound bytes blindly follow orders, and fire off (usually) as instructed by a human. Yet musicians playing "real" instruments listen, resonate, and respond to the music, the room, and to each other, in a matter of microseconds.

In the hands of master arranger or programmer, this is not a problem. Many of the nuances of real music can be simulated quite effectively as processor speed, bandwidth, and resolution improve. But as entertainment becomes more interactive, with games and augmented reality and "wearable" technologies, it is increasingly vital that electronic sounds and music learn an awareness of the context in which they are playing.

Soon, all the accumulated craft and skills of a century of post-production legacy will have to operate in real time, controlled not by the programmer, but by the users themselves via the choices they make. Is it time for us to reconsider why our sound and music files are so “dumb” and rigid?

Audio over IP, a technology first deployed at radio stations some 15 years ago, is mature, stable, flexible, and most certainly viable for decades to come. There are now over ten-thousand radio studios constantly producing roughly a half-million IP-audio streams. Equipment manufacturers and engineers have come to understand what’s critical in designing and installing studios built on AoIP infrastructure. The AES67 standard for AoIP interoperability plays a key role in IP-audio adoption.
Now, the television world is moving to an IP-centric infrastructure for both audio and video. Notably, the AES67 AoIP standard is at the center of the new SMPTE 2110-30 TV-audio specification. This panel presentation and discussion reveals techniques that radio engineers have been learning and perfecting for over a decade. Some panelists will also suggest the best practices for television engineers as AoIP is implemented alongside video-over-IP infrastructure.
This session is designed for audio and video engineers and technicians from radio, TV, and post-production facilities. IT engineers will also benefit from by learning key concepts in these real-time applications of IP-audio and IP-video.

This session is presented in association with the AES Technical Committee on Broadcast and Online Delivery

Special Event: SE05 - Lunchtime Keynote: The Distribution of Independence: From the Green Line to the Blockchain

Presenter:
Rich Jensen, Independent - Seatttle, WA, USA

The origins of the Sub Pop Record label lead back to an Independent music policy, called “The Green Line,” put in place at a tiny community radio station serving Olympia, Washington, in the mid-1970s. Fifteen years later Sub Pop achieved international fame for promoting Seattle-based bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney during the Seattle grunge movement. The label has a history of irreverence, innovation, and a cultural sensitivity that has made it a role model for other so-called Indie labels and artists around the world. In his keynote address, former “Sub-President’”and early Sub Pop recording artist Rich Jensen explores opportunities the new digital technologies such as Blockchain, Smart Contracts, Music Metadata, and the Creative Passport to offer to unleash artists and their communities today into a world that seems hungry for their guidance and inspiration. If Sub Pop had those technologies at its disposal in the 1980s, how would the world be different today?

Television in Transition: Expanding Possibilities for Audio

The entire television consumption and distribution ecosystem is being transformed at breakneck speed. Ubiquitous and cheap wireless and broadband networking; smart TVs and mobile devices; and massively-scalable cloud computing are building a completely new entertainment distribution system practically overnight, upending the traditional broadcast model, and changing viewing habits forever. This transition from “hardwired” to “virtualized” distribution is expanding the possibilities for television audio innovation, further raising the bar on ultimate quality of premium viewing experiences, while presenting creative challenges in translating these experiences to an ever-widening range of devices.

“The rule book for television distribution is being completely re-written. The migration away from traditional broadcasting to IP delivery will continue to accelerate the uptake of advanced encoding solutions and sophisticated audio services. This transition creates new challenges in providing quality and consistency across an ever-widening range of device and environments. Please join the DTVAG for a discussion of these and other important television audio issues.”~ Roger Charlesworth, Executive Director, DTV Audio Group

Forum topics will include:

Chasing Quality
The advent of affordable consumer 4K and HDR on TVs and other devices is transforming the home viewing experience. Combined with the story-telling power of premium episodic content, upscale home viewing is supplanting cinema as the ultimate Hollywood entertainment consumption experience. Audio has been front and center in this transition as more and more premium content becomes available in Dolby Atmos. Is this trend sustainable? How are broadcasters and others responding to the demand for premium audio content?

Surround Virtualization
An important aspect of next-generation audio systems is the ability to virtualize surround presentations over a range of devices and environments. Consumers are already being offered increasingly sophisticated immersive-audio-capable soundbars and TV sets; what are the prospects for enhanced surround virtualization on headphones, earbuds and mobile devices?

Infrastructure and Workflow for Next-Generation Audio
Next-generation audio services greatly increase network operations payloads with additional immersive channels, alternate languages, accessibility features, and all their attendant metadata. Can linear routing systems keep up with these demands or is SMPTE ST 2110 IP media infrastructure arriving just in time to save the day? If so, where are we on the attendant standards and operating protocols to make next-gen audio work in the IP domain? We will debate the issue and take an expert look at the standards crafting work going on behind the scenes.

The Wireless Spectrum Crunch Marches On
Carriers are quickly rolling out services in their newly-acquired 600 MHz blocs making life difficult for wireless mics and other low-power users in many parts of the country. As the rollout in open blocks continues, stations are beginning to exit their existing allocations and head for new frequencies in an already over-crowded 500 MHz TV band. What is the long-term feasibility of operating in what remains of the UHF TV band, and are there practical alternatives on the horizon?

Project Studio Expo Recording Stage: PSE10 - Programming Audio Specific DSPs Using a GUI Based Programming Tool to Optimize Code Development

Presenter:
David Thibodeau, Analog Devices - Wilmington, MA, USA

Analog Devices Inc., will be demonstrating the SigmaStudio GUI based programming tool used to program the SigmaDSP line of digital signal processors. These processors are optimized for processing audio and include some micro-controller like features. The SigmaDSP line of products produced by Analog Devices INC., are a range of products starting with small cost-efficient DSPs with integrated analog and digital converters to large powerful DSPs that can interface to a wide variety of converters and other audio processing systems like Bluetooth and audio networks. The processors include integrated general purpose input and outputs (GPIO) to simplify interfacing to control switches and potentiometers for the adjustments of DSP parameters in real time. The higher-end processors are also capable of many micro-controller-like functions such as booting up external codecs (ADC and DAC ICs) and polling external ICs for errors. Most of the SigmaDSP products are capable of self-booting using an external EEPROM to enable the design of standalone systems that boot themselves and operate without a system controller. Of course, system controllers can be utilized for advanced system solutions.
Our demonstration will consist of developing an application using SigmaStudio starting from a blank file and coming up with a functioning solution and programming it into an EEPROM while you watch. Other more advanced concepts will be detailed using prepared projects that showcase capabilities and ease of programming.

The broadcast transmission facility of the 21st century is a different beast from its 20th century predecessor. Bulky tube transmitters have largely given way to sleek solid-state rigs, and radio broadcasters are beginning to adopt the same liquid-cooled technology that has transformed TV broadcasting. In New York and other cities, older master FM antennas are being replaced with new combiners and antennas for the first time in decades. Ownership consolidation has brought former competitors together to share engineers and transmitter rooms. In this session the site managers and station engineers who oversee many of the biggest broadcast facilities will discuss the challenges they face in keeping their plants at the cutting edge of technical innovation.

Co-organized by the Society of Broadcast Engineers.

Actual time: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The Orson Welles radio broadcast, "The War of the Worlds," was monumental in the history of radio broadcasting. Performed as a Halloween episode of The Mercury Theater of the Air broadcast on the CBS network, Sunday, October 30, 1938, it scared the nation and became a classic demonstration of the extraordinary power of the radio medium.

An adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel, "The War of the Worlds" (1898), the afternoon rehearsal for the show was thought to be poor by writer, Howard Koch, Welles and the cast. Then, the young Welles, only 23-years-old, went into action, using his dramatic genius to create a last minute radio masterpiece.

Martians may not have really landed in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey in 1938, but the broadcast did send the young Orson Welles to Hollywood, where he next made Citizen Kane, one of the greatest films ever produced.

This 80th anniversary of "The War of the Worlds" will feature Frank Beacham, who worked with Welles, to discuss the dramatic tricks he used to turn the broadcast into a compelling and believable drama, plus recordings of the behind-the-scenes story in the CBS Studio that frantic night.

SueMedia's Sue Zizza and David Shinn along with the HEAR Now Festival and Voicescapes Audio Theater will produce and perform live recreations and interpretations from The War of the Worlds with actors.

Seth Winner and Sammy Jones will play excerpts from the newly remastered recording of the original broadcast, while Herb and Laurie Squire will discuss the reactions of the audience and public to the broadcast.

New York Public Radio is hosting this event for the Audio Engineering Society Convention. Tickets will be required for access. Space is limited.

Special Event: SE14 - Heyser Lecture

Presenter:
John Meyer, Meyer Sound Labs - Berkeley, CA, USA

The Richard C. Heyser distinguished lecturer for the 145th AES Convention is John Meyer.

Taking the Room Out of the Loudspeaker: New Tools for Transparent Reproduction
With few exceptions, loudspeakers are not used in a free field environment but rather in an enclosed acoustical space. This is inherently problematic as an acoustical space behaves in a manner similar to that of loudspeakers, making it difficult to separate the problematic characteristics of each using common measurement tools or subjective listening tests. John Meyer’s lecture will review the history of loudspeaker measurement tools as used both in the free field and in acoustical space, including Richard Heyser’s pioneering TDM methods and Meyer Sound’s own SIM (Source Independent Measurement) systems. A key focus will be on a new multi-component studio monitor that exhibits absolutely flat amplitude and phase response from 27 Hz to 20 kHz. Because this system effectively “takes the room out of the loudspeaker” it opens up possibilities for correlating new objective testing techniques with subjective listening observations. The lecture also will discuss a new test signal known as M-Noise, which effectively mimics the dynamics of music and avoids inherent weaknesses in the use of pink noise with third-octave analyzers when testing loudspeaker systems used for music. The retrospective will touch on other benchmarks in the quest for linear sound amplification, including the early Glyph large-horn systems, the Grateful Dead’s “Wall of Sound” and the HD-1 high resolution studio monitor, a trusted near-field reference that remains in Meyer Sound’s product line 29 years after its introduction.

Presenters:
Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering Studios, Inc. - Portland, ME, USA
Andres A. Mayo, Andres Mayo Mastering & Audio Post - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Ron McMaster, Capitol Studios Mastering - Hollywood, CA, USA

The world of mastering changed dramatically in the past 10+ years due to two facts:

—Music production became a global business, with modern productions involving far more virtual collaborations than physical meetings
—Streaming changed the rules again and led artists to produce singles, much more than entire albums.

So now, mastering just one song for a producer on the other side of the world that you will never meet in person became regular business. How do mastering engineers face these completely new challenges? How do they stand up in the myriad of mastering studios worldwide offering similar services in online platforms? What are the new parameters to consider in order to be competitive?

Presenter:
Greg Wells, Producer, mixer, songwriter - USA

What makes a device an intuitive tool instead of a burdensome product you have to deal with to try and get the results you are looking for, for your creative project? Some tools inspire artists, engineers or producers to do or try new things, others can make your life difficult.

Multiple GRAMMY-nominated producer, musician and mixing engineer Greg Wells (Adele, OneRepublic, Keith Urban, Katy Perry, Twenty One Pilots) addresses this topic from both a creative and technical standpoint in this keynote address

However, with all this emphasis on technology and so much less on individual expression, we feel that something essential is getting lost in the process. Join Frank Filipetti and Michael Beinhorn for a frank, no-holds-barred conversation about the creativity crisis … and how to crack it.
