February Meeting Notice

February 2003 Meeting Notice

Over the past several years audio has escaped the confines of analog and AES/EBU cabling and embarked on a wild ride over the Internet and local area networks. This has spawned a variety of challenges and opportunities for audio professionals: new formats (some bad, some great), content piracy, a boom in processing power, new interconnects, new software to wrestle with, changing business models, and so on. The business and science of audio have arguably changed more in the past few years than ever before. At the moment, we are in the midst of a revolution and it is impossible to predict where this is leading us. This meeting will explore some of the early successes and failures that have occurred during this revolution, and discuss where things might be headed.

Bob Moses is the current AES VP Western Region (USA/Canada). Prior to serving in this position he spent two years as an AES Governor, and he has been very active in various AES conventions and conferences since the mid 1980s. Over the years he has been employed by, or consulted to, numerous companies in the pro audio and consumer electronics industries, including: Rane, Digital Harmony, Symetrix, Alesis, JBL, Digidesign, Midiman/M-Audio, Peavey, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, Cirrus Logic, and others. He has authored numerous patents, published a variety of AES papers and articles in the pro audio trade press, and won several awards. He is currently telecommuting as a consultant, from a small Island in the Puget Sound near Seattle.
