David will discuss multiple\, currently available\, product solutions to facilitate the audio capture. This session is ideal for audio professionals providing real-time mix engineering along with capture for later post-production purposes. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: David Bowles\, Swineshead Productions\, LLC \n\n\n\n10:15 am\nBoole\nAES: Eclipsa Audio Format for Streaming and Sound Design \nEclipsa Audio is a new open source spatial audio format based on the IAMF (Immersive Audio Model and Formats) specification\, available under a royalty-free license from the Alliance for Open Media. Eclipsa Audio is designed to enable high-quality\, immersive audio experiences across various devices and platforms\, including streaming\, gaming\, and virtual reality. The IAMF specification is codec-agnostic and allows for flexible rendering and mixing\, making it adaptable to different playback environments.Eclipsa Audio streaming and upload support has launched on YouTube. Join this tutorial session to learn more about the IAMF specification and to listen to creators talk about how to do sound design for Eclipsa Audio format. Learn about sound design differences and similarities for factual\, animation & high end narrative content. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Jan Skoglund\, Google \n\n\n\n10:45 am\nExhibits\nNetworking Break\n\n\n11:30 am\nBoole\nAES: Cleaner Audio\, Faster Decisions: Real-Time Separation for Modern Broadcast Workflows \nAudioShake\, the leading audio isolation and separation tool for media and entertainment\, today announced the launch of its first streaming-capable SDKs designed specifically for real-time music detection and copyright-safe audio cleanup. The SDK enables broadcasters\, sports leagues\, and media creators to automatically detect and remove copyrighted music from live and post-production content—helping them avoid takedowns\, fines\, muted audio\, and distribution delays. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Jessica Powell\, AudioShake \n\n\n\n12:00 pm\nBoole\nAES: Architecting Next-Generation Immersive Audio: Advanced Spatial Audio Formats and Codecs \nThe rapid evolution of immersive experiences\, particularly in Extended Reality (XR) applications like Virtual Reality (VR)\, Mixed Reality (MR)\, and Augmented Reality (AR)\, presents significant challenges for delivering compelling and perceptually accurate spatial audio. Traditional audio formats and rendering techniques fall short of meeting the requirements of these environments\, leading to a need for novel approaches to audio representation\, encoding\, and delivery. Using the Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF) and its underlying Apple Positional Audio Codec (APAC) as a case study\, we will examine how a unified framework can natively support a diverse array of immersive audio representations\, including object-based audio\, High Order Ambisonics (HOA)\, channel-based audio\, and binaural rendering. \nModerator: BT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios\nPanelist: Deep Sen\, Apple \n\n\n\n12:30 pm\nBoole\nAES Sessions: All Speaker Q&A \nPresenters from the previous sessions will participate in a Q&A session moderated by Brian Gibbs and Jean‑Marc Jot. \nModerators:\nBT Gibbs\, Skyline Entertainment and Publishing and Tool Shed Studios; Jean‑Marc Jot\, Virtuel Works \n\n\n\n\n \nAES Presenters\n\n\n\nDavid Bowles\nDavid v.R Bowles formed Swineshead Productions\, LLC as a classical recording production company in 1995.

SUMMARY:Silicon Valley Video Summit Call For Contributions
DESCRIPTION:The AES SF Section has been asked to help curate a half-day audio track for Silicon Valley Video Summit (SVVS) 2026. This includes quick\, 30 minute presentations or panels discussing audio topics closely-related to the video world. Some sample 2025 topics can be found here. However\, the door is wide open for topics appropriate to an A/V audience heavily weighted to video including AoIP and VoIP (audio-over-IP or voice-over-IP\, aka MoIP for media-over-IP). \nIf you (know anyone who) might be interested in presenting/curating a panel for SVVS 2026\, please complete this G Form to submit your  proposal by October 31st. You can see the panels in 2025 had almost no repeat presenters and the topics were wide ranging. However\, for the audio track\, there could be closely related topics which some presenters could also speak to (e.g.\, multichannel audio for livestreaming -plus- spatialization or up-mixing of audio for live streaming). \nAll presentations will be reviewed\, however\, with only four\, 30 minute slots\, we might not be able to accommodate all submissions. If you are unsure if your session proposal meets the format for the Silicon Valley Video Summit\, please submit it anyway. Our local AES San Francisco section may suggest submitting your proposal for another venue and time later in 2026. \nClick here for statistics about attendees\, presenters and sponsors from 2025. \nAny questions can be directed to info@AESSF.org. \nThank you for being a part of our AES San Francisco community!

SUMMARY:Spatial Composition - The New Frontier – at Dolby Headquarters
DESCRIPTION:Join the AES & Recording Academy members as we explore SPACE as compositional element – and its effects on audio production – at Dolby HQ. \n\n\nComposers have been using melody\, rhythm\, and harmony for thousands of years. Musique concrète expanded the use of timbre 75 years ago. Are we at the verge of another musical disruption? What if\, using space as a compositional tool\, songwriters\, composers\, and producers not only mixed but composed in immersive systems? Can SPACE become a new element of music? \n\n\n\n\nThe AES and the Recording Academy invite you to a member-exclusive event: a research presentation about the use of space in music composition and production\, by composer Julius Dobos and producer BZ Lewis. \nAudio engineers\, producers\, composers\, songwriters and music creators of all disciplines are invited to explore SPACE as an element of music composition\, experience demonstrations of new\, spatially-composed music and immersive mixes in the Dolby Cinema\, and hear about updates on the Dolby Atmos ecosystem. \n\n\n\n\n\nDo spatial decisions made during composition have an effect on musical content?\nDo listeners respond differently to spatially-composed music vs the spatial mixes of traditionally composed music?\nHow to approach writing in an immersive environment that can yield conceptually solid musical content?\nHow music created in Dolby Atmos (vs music mixed in Dolby Atmos) may affect the roles and responsibilities of artists and audio engineers?\n\n\n\n\n\nGuests will hear Dolby’s latest updates to the Dolby Atmos music ecosystem\, experience Dolby Atmos enabled car demos\, and experience new\, spatially-composed music & immersive mixes in the Dolby Cinema. \n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited: tickets will be required. Ticket information is being sent directly to our AES SF email list members.This ticket is for AESSF members only (your AES member number is your exclusive access code to register with). Space is limited\, so please plan to attend if you RSVP. \n\n\nGet Tickets\n\nSpeaker Bios\n \nJulius Dobos is an award-winning\, platinum-album European-American composer\, sound synthesist\, music director and mastering engineer.

The differences between one-point mikes vs. near- and wide-spaced mikes will be demonstrated\, and a current controversy about height mikes will be briefly discussed. There will be immersive playback of recordings from regions of California ranging over the coastal zone\, the Valley\, the deserts\, and the Sierras. \nDoors at 6:00 pm. Light refreshments and networking.\nPresentation: 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm\, followed by Q&A \nSpace is extremely limited. Ticket information is being sent directly to our AES SF email list members. \n  \nDan Dugan\nDan Dugan has always been fascinated by combinations of art and technology. As a child\, when he was taken to the theater he always wanted to go backstage to see the light board. In his teens he built a huge model circus and two small pipe organs. He was very active in music\, singing bass in the church choir\, the San Diego Bach Chorus\, Roger Wagner’s summer workshops\, and in madrigal groups performing on the green at the Shakespeare Festival. In college he dropped out of a four-year scholarship to work full-time in the theater doing lighting\, which became his first career. He did lighting designs for the San Diego National Shakespeare Festival\, the San Diego Opera\, and the San Francisco Actors’ Workshop. \nAt age 24 Dan switched to doing theater sound\, working for the San Diego National Shakespeare Festival and the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. The title “Sound Designer” was created in 1968 to describe what Dan was doing. He provided sound services for many seasons of the Mondavi Jazz Festival\, and engineered several independent record albums\, including Kate Wolf’s first two albums\, which are still in print. \nDan is well-known in audio engineering as the inventor of the automatic microphone mixer. His patented equipment is used in thousands of churches\, courtrooms including the trial of Saddam Hussein\, and on television shows including the PBS NewsHour\, Washington Week\, presidential debates\, and ESPN sports commentary. Currently he works in his laboratory in San Francisco designing new versions of his inventions and editing his surround-sound nature recordings. \n

SUMMARY:Analog vs. Digital Processing - Bob Katz's Choices
DESCRIPTION:Bob Katz will present some technical measurements and aesthetic observations about this disputable topic. Standby for the fireworks! \nJoin the AESSF for what’s certain to be a rousing discussion. \nIncluded in this meeting:\nVIRTUOSO: BINAURAL TRANSLATOR \nA discussion and high resolution demonstration\, hosted by Bob Katz \nVirtuoso is a new\, cutting edge binaural technology for virtualizing stereo or immersive audio and a listening room for headphone monitoring\, with excellent tonal/spatial fidelity and a highly accurate translation to real loudspeakers. \nFor example\, create a stereo or immersive mix\, feed it through Virtuoso and out comes binaural that Bob feels sounds like it’s coming from his Mastering-quality loudspeaker system in his well-treated mastering room. With excellent externalization (out of head impression). Virtuoso can be used on the road or wherever quality loudspeaker monitoring is not available. You can be the judge of that on Tuesday\, February 7. \nVirtuoso was developed by Dr. Hyunkook Lee of the University of Huddersfield\, England. \nBob will be using Streamwire to send high resolution audio. For the very best audio quality\, please use a DAW at 48 kHz\, internal clock. Use your best DAC\, headphones\, and headphone amplifier. You can listen to high resolution audio through your browser. \nCome by early to get accustomed to Streamwire\, Bob will be playing music starting at 5pm. \nHere is a link with full information and the link to the Streamwire stream (which does not require any downloads or subscriptions):\nhttps://digido.com/livestream \nLog in to this live online presentation at: https://youtu.be/8pLr4dHXlOk with the samples playing on Streamwire. \nBio\nWith over 50 years as an audio professional\, Bob Katz has recorded and mastered three Grammy-winning albums and several nominees. He masters all styles of music as president and mastering engineer at Digital Domain\, Orlando\, FL. \nIn 1988\, Bob became Technical Supervisor and recording engineer for audiophile label Chesky Records. He produced the world’s first commercial oversampled recordings with his own implementation of the DBX ADC. His recordings for Chesky used one mike or minimalist miking\, were acclaimed for their balance\, depth\, clarity and purity of tone. In 1997\, he recorded the first 96 kHz/24-bit audio-only DVD. \nHe is a life Fellow of the AES. He was workshops Chairman of the AES 74th Convention\, Facilities Chair of the 79th\, and chaired the 1994 NY Section. Most recently\, he has been an active member the subcommittee which produced TD-1008\, Recommendations for Loudness of Internet Audio Streaming and In-Demand Distribution\, superceding TD-1004. This group took over a year to refine every word in this document. \nHis book\, “Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science”\, in its third edition\, has been translated to Chinese\, German and Spanish. It has sold over 150\, 000 copies. \nHe has created several digital audio products and has invented\, patented and licensed the K-stereo and K-Surround Processes.
