Location: Zoom virtual Meeting (5pm Central European Time / Germany time zone)
Moderated by: Dr Elena Shabalina
Speaker(s): Banu Sahin, Javier Frutos-Bonilla, Stefan Bock
If object-based audio is an established option for both consumer and professional audio, why isn´t there a continuous workflow between both worlds? In this colloquium, we approach the current situation from three different, but at the same time, related perspectives: loudspeaker system design, live show control and studio post-production. We will discuss the possibilities and limitations in various use-cases following a timeline of "before, during and after a show".
Presenters will encourage the audience to join in a final discussion and contribute with their viewpoints.
