Wedemark/New York, 8 October 2019 – AES New York is soon to open its doors, with the convention not only presenting the latest in recording technology but also a host of practical workshops. One of the highlights is a hands-on Ambisonics production workshop where Sennheiser will collaborate with experts including Grammy award winner and former AES President Andres Mayo to bring to life every stage of the Ambisonics production process.
Participants in the “Immersive & Spatial Audio Track Event IS08” (Saturday, Oct 19, 9 a.m. to 12 noon) will learn every step in Ambisonics production, including working hands-on with the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic
The “Immersive & Spatial Audio Track Event IS08” on Saturday, October 19 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in 1E13) is presented by Sennheiser’s Brian Glasscock alongside Andres Mayo, Ianina Canalis of the National University of Lanús and Martin Muscatello of 360 Music Lab. This hands-on workshop will give 45 participants the opportunity to learn every step in Ambisonics production – from recording with the AMBEO VR Mic, to mixing in Virtual Reality with Dear Reality tools, to playback options for the spatial content. Participants can discover and experiment with both hardware and software. In addition to the technical aspects of production, the workshop will also explore the artistic questions that mixing engineers face in 3D, and answer participants’ questions.
This ticketed event can be booked together with the convention’s All Access Badge. For more information please see http://www.aes.org/events/147/spatialaudio/?ID=6899
