AES Hits A High Note
The annual AES Convention has been a big hit this year—the exhibit floor aisles are packed with attendees, the workshops and papers have been greeted with enthusiasm, and it all shows no sign of abating as the gathering rolls into its last two days. Attendees have been checking out all the new gear debuting here at the show, learning about new technologies and possibilities before anyone else. At the same time, exhibitors in particular are upbeat about the show this year, noting that it has been a well-attended event.

Broadcast Confab Is A Smash
At the request of television and radio professionals, a broadcast audio conference was established within the AES Convention this year for the first time, with remarkable success and excellent attendance.
Tape Lives!
Despite the obvious strength of the DAW and the ongoing innovations in PC and plug-in development, analog tape remains a viable and often-desired format for audio recording.
Inside The Convention
Where are all these people coming from, and why are they always in front of me at the Starbucks concessions? This convention looks set to break a few attendance records, so I’d better get to it.
AES Elects New Officers
AES has announced new officers and Governors for 2007-2008, headed by president Bob Moses and president-elect Jim Anderson.
Chris’ Picks
The 123rd is absolutely packed with important and informative events. The pace of the four-day confab is relentless, which is exactly what audio professionals want: a full and focused schedule that mixes critically important panels and workshops with equally insightful discussions and book offerings.
Steve’s Picks
Broadcast audio is well represented at this year’s AES Convention, with technical tours, tutorials, workshops and sessions focusing on topics from building a facility to planning a strategy for the transition to fully digital operation.
Clive’s Live Five
Once upon a time, the AES Convention had a reputation as “a recording show,” with little to offer the live sound community. Well, those days have been long gone for years, and this year’s live sound offerings prove it beyond a doubt.
