Speaker(s): Prof. Edgar Choueiri, Princeton University
Prof. Edgar Choueiri, Chief Scientist and Director of Princeton University’s 3D Audio and Applied Acoustics Lab, and President of Theoretica Applied Physics, will give a hands-on workshop at NYU’s Dolan Recoding Studio on the latest tools for mixing and rendering binaural 3D audio for speakers and headphones for applications ranging from recording mix enhancement to AR/VR. Using Theoretica’s industry-leading BACCH-dSP 5.0 (https://www.theoretica.us/bacch-dsp/), Prof. Choueiri will demonstrate the design and use of optimized crosstalk cancellation filters for rendering binaural audio in true 3D over a regular stereo pair of monitors; 3D mixing and binaural content creation with complex 3D imaging using generic and individualized HRTFs; and up-to-fourth-order HOA-to-binaural rendering and 3D sound-field navigation using up to 20-speaker full dodecahedron virtual speaker system and individualized HRTFs, using a 4-th order 32-capsule HOA mic.

Alex U. Case
Location: Studio 510 (5th floor) at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, 194 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012
Speaker(s): Alex U. Case, Past President, AES; University of Massachusetts Lowell
Pitch shifting as an audio effect is still maturing, even though the technology was there from the beginning. Recording at one speed but playing back at another has been the pitch shifting modus operandi across all analog formats – cylinders, disks and tape. Digital audio continued these time-domain techniques, exploiting sample rate differences between record and playback. Frequency-domain pitch shifting, offering new effects possibilities, became an important part of the pop engineer’s tool kit in the late 90s.
But what are we to make of the aesthetic? What is the creative potential of pitch shifting? Alex U. Case looks at several iconic examples of pitch shifting effects in pop music. He delivers a listening-guided analysis – integrating the disciplines of music, signal processing, and psychoacoustics – that defines the full range of the effect and how it might find a place in your next project.

Speaker(s): Michael D. Griffin, Essential Sound Products, Inc. - Rochester, MI, USA
A widely held paradigm among many in the pro-audio community and beyond is that power cords cannot possibly affect audio component performance. In this session we will review fundamentals of audio component power supply performance and various data that supports the conclusion, “how could changing the design of the power cord not affect audio component performance?” Further, we’ll discuss our approach to power cable design to optimize audio component performance.

Speaker(s): Lon Neumann, Wheatstone Corp.
The IP model of audio transport (AoIP) provides a unique combination of features that are well suited for today’s emerging remote At-Home production model. Integrated routing, processing, mixing, and control spread across interconnected devices on an IP network can be used to build a venue-side matrix of audio and control that includes mic-ingest, local mixing, low latency IFB, and control-logic from local or remote inputs. The resultant audio streams can then be transmitted to a distant At-Home production facility via AES67 (AoIP) for synchronization with the accompanying video streams.
Come join NY AES as Lon Neumann from Wheatstone Corp. walks us through the new era of IP remote production.

Moderated by: Ron Ajemian, Owl Fiber Optics
Speaker(s): David Kuklinski, Neutrik USA
In today’s world of audio/video technology, engineers, technicians and studio operators are finding it a daunting task to decide what cables and connectors to deploy for high speed data intensive networks. This meeting will address the most current and popular A/V connections to deploy by updating past and present Fiber Optic connectors and cables with a brief overview at wired Ethernet Category CAT 5 – CAT 8 specifications.
As data rates and speeds keep increasing in the networks used for many applications in A/V and broadcast a need to better understand these connections for optimum performance has become necessary.
David Kuklinski will talk about the latest connectors from Neutrik’s product line of OpticalCon and EtherCon connectors.
Ron Ajemian will give a brief tutorial on Fiber Optic Connectors and Cables along with an overview of the new and upcoming standard for Category CAT 8 Ethernet connections.
Q and A will follow after the presentation. All students and members are welcome, but you must RSVP via the link below.

Edgar Choueiri, Professor of Applied Physics at Princeton University
Location: Sennheiser’s new Pop-Up Store, 134 Prince Street in Manhattan
Speaker(s): Prof. Edgar Choueiri, Princeton University
As most humans have only two ears, in theory we should need only two channels/transducers to hear recorded audio in full 3D. Princeton University Professor Edgar Choueiri will describe the challenges of binaural audio through headphones and loudspeakers, recent solutions to these challenges, and the state of the art of processing and content delivery development tools for each. Choueiri will describe and demonstrate his BACCH 3D Sound technology and BACCHdSP software. This system relies on crosstalk cancellation filters and the use of head tracking and automatic individualization for a particular listener. Headphone and loudspeaker reproduction hardware will also be discussed and demonstrated. To attend this meeting you must RSVP via the link below. (Click on "More Information") ABOUT Prof. Choueiri: Edgar Choueiri is professor of Applied Physics at Princeton University where he is Director of two research laboratories: The Electric Prolusion and Plasma Dynamics Propulsion Laboratory (where he works on advanced propulsion for deep space spacecraft), and the 3D Audio and Applied Acoustics (3D3A). He is the author of more than 200 scientific articles and publications and the recipient of numerous awards.

A podcast can be more than a monologue or an interview; it can be a rich environment for using sound to tell your story. One can use sound in many ways, whether it’s to set the scene, illustrate a concept, or enliven a journalistic endeavor. The talk will take the audience on an international aural journey from the 'hollars’ of Kentucky to the streets of Grenada in search of sounds. With Jim Anderson’s deep background in broadcasting, he will demonstrate the power of sound to illustrate and enrich a podcast.
