AES in NYC 2015

[selig]

Hey all,

I'll be at the AES convention in New York City over the next few days. If anyone wants me to check out anything in particular, please let me know and if possibly I'll post the results here. I'll also be posting anything interesting on Facebook and will copy here if applicable!

It's a really "professional" thingy, isn't it?

I have no idea what I'd want you to check out to be honest, besides any Propellerheads and things you think this community might find interesting

Nice. I'm particularly interested in the following seminars:

So far the Moog Mother32 and Seaboard Rise have gotten my attention.

There are some lovely speakers and microphones but it's difficult to judge on the noisy floor.

I only wish the Seaboard Rise had more connectivity. I feel like they could have borrowed from what Korg and others have done with the 3.5mm jack to MIDI 5-pin adapters.

Of course, I'm very excited about the Moog Mother-32!

Those little analog compressors from sknote at 250$ each look pretty sweet!

No, nowadays the AES convention isn't as "professional" as it used to be - let's say - 15 years ago, in terms of presenting mainly the "big toys" like large format mixing consoles, although some of these "toys" can still be seen there, such as fairlightau.com (not Fairlight Instruments) or some other manufacturers that are specialized in broadcast/post pro technology. But the definition of what can be described and considered as being "professional" has changed in the last 10 to 15 years, as you know. What I always enjoyed at the AES was to meet good old friends there and to listen to some intersting and inspiring lectures, for instance lectures about studio acoustics.

Not sure what that could be - they don't make plugins themselves, right?

Dang it, I missed seeing that one! ;(

Looks pretty cool, I must say.

One of my favorite events this year was a 9.1 surround demo where one of the artists (Peter Greyson) was preset and speaking about composing for surround. The sound system was an absolutely amazing PMC monster system - sadly I wasn't able to get a photo without disturbing the event. Basically imagine 5 of these and four smaller versions for the "height" channels (yes, they are as huge as they look):
