ProSound News - August 2009 - (Page Cover1) prosoundI SPECIAL REPORT: AMPING UP GREEN AUDIO—page 40 [ prosoundnews.com ] August 2009 volume 31 no. 8 Live Sound Summits at AES by Clive Young NEW YORK, NY—Every Modern Traditionalist Up-and-coming engineer Marcella Araica approaches her thoroughly modern clientele with an old-school, hardware-intensive approach to her craft. —page 20 Focus on Focal Loudspeaker and component manu- year, the pro audio industry converges on the Audio Engineering Society Convention in order to see the latest equipment, but that’s only part of the story. For many, it’s an educational Mecca of ideas, insights and advice, all shared through panels, workshops, sessions, technical tours and more. This year’s 127th convocation is no exception, and there will plenty to take in from the experts on hand, particularly for those involved in live sound. Live Sound co-chair Henry Cohen remarked that planning for this year’s live sound programming has been underway since the last AES Convention, held in San Francisco. While some of the upcoming sessions were influenced by 2008’s programs, this year’s live audio programming is far from a carbon copy of prior offerings. facturer Focal celebrates 30 years of operation this year. —page 24 Industry legend Les Paul dies at 94 See page 5 “We tried to determine what were really hot topics, what had great attendance and questions, and then explored the value in updating some of those programs on the East Coast for the people who didn’t make it to San Francisco,” said Cohen. “Nearly half our program is a continuation of the West Coast presentations, but East Coast attendees don’t always have the same issues or concerns. For instance, we have more severe weather conditions, so what does that mean for equipment outdoors? Also, being in Manhattan, theater sound is a biggie. And although it’s not part of live sound sessions technically, we’ve been helping Harry Hirsch with his history of live sound; arguably, rock ‘n’ roll sound reinforcement as we know it today initiated from the East and Midwest—Clair Brothers, Showco, MSI, db Sound. So we certainly feel there’s East Coast-centric subject matter, but we try to add what the West Coast has to offer.” One panel that will be of interest for denizens of both coasts will be “The Greening of the Band: Green Touring Solutions for the Live Engineer,” moderated by AES Education Committee vice ‘BAD’ FOR GOOD: Supervising music mixer Joseph Magee has completed mixes at Ocean Way’s recently reopened Record One studios for the upcoming film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, written and directed by Tyler Perry, based on his play. Record One features newly configured film-mixing studios after a 5-year lockout by producer, Dr. Dre. Magee is pictured in Record One’s Studio B, with Mary J. Blige on the viewing monitor. NYC Studios Welcome AES T by Steve Harvey he audio industry’s largest gathering, the AES Convention, attracts exhibitors, presenters and attendees from around the world. With the U.S. convention annually alternating coastal locations—even years way out west, odd years back east—it’s New York City’s turn to host the event this year, and local area recording studio owners are already looking forward to the industry’s main event. With a full schedule of technical papers, presentations, workshops and, of course, show floor exhibits, the convention, which this year will be held at the Jacob J. Javits Center from October 9 through 12, offers something for everyone. “I have an interest in the small analog consoles that are out there,” says Kirk Imamura, president of Avatar Studios. “And there are always new plugins coming out, so I’ll be interested in those, and curious to see if there are any new announcements from Digidesign regarding newer versions of software.” Avatar, in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, is one of the great New York (continued on page 18) (continued on page 18) DAVID GOGGIN\ news http://www.prosoundnews.com
