If it’s about audio, it’s at AES, and the 139th AES International Convention, October
29 – November 1, 2015, at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, will once again
host the widely-popular Project Studio Expo (PSE) on the main exhibition floor.
Taking place October 30, 31, and November 1 on the PSE Stage, the Project Studio
Expo has announced an in-depth schedule of presentations covering fundamentals,
as well as the latest tools and techniques, for working in personal and project studio
environments. All PSE events are open AES139 attendees with either a FREE
Exhibits-Plus or Premium All Access badge.
Presented in association with Sound on Sound magazine and sponsors Genelec,
Neumann and Prism Sound, the Project Studio Expo brings together top names in
the industry to this unique forum for an educational and entertaining look at the
practical and potential role of any project studio. This year’s schedule is set to
include Making the Most of Your Studio Budget, The Five Most Common Project
Studio Recording Mistakes, Levels, Headroom and Loudness and Personal
Networking for the Audio Professional on October 30.
The second day, October 31 will include The Project Studio in the Commercial
World, Mastering Inside Your DAW, The REAL Skills You Need to Record
Professionally and Audio as a Business: Building and Developing a Career.
Day three of the Project Studio Expo, November 1, brings premier sponsor Prism
Sound to the PSE stage for the latest installment of their Mic to Monitor educational
events, which aim to dispel many of the myths surrounding the recording process,
and to answer questions such as what makes great gear “great,’ what it takes to
become a successful audio engineer, and how professionals tackle different aspects
of their productions to create hit records. Among the speakers presenting will be
Ian Dennis, Prism Sound’s Technical Director; Leif Masses, founder of Maselec; Ben
Lilly, Technical Sales and Applications Engineer at ATC; and Glenn Kuras. President
of Gik Acoustics.
“AES is dedicated to audio education,’ says AES Executive Director, Bob Moses,
“and, as the AES139 Live Sound Expo does for audio professionals working in
houses of worship, theater and live music performance, the Project Studio Expo
allows recording engineers to learn from many of the best minds in the business,
The fact that it’s available free with an Exhibits-Plus preregistration makes the PSE
nothing short of an amazing opportunity.’
The 200-seat Project Studio Expo is located on the main exhibition floor next to the
exhibits and is open to all convention attendees. The presentations, which last
approximately 45 minutes and are free to attend with Exhibits-Plus pre-registration,
are delivered via headphones so that show floor noise doesn’t interfere with the
seminar experience, and to encourage opportunities for questions and interactive
demonstrations.
