SUMMARY:Annual Meeting: David Bowles on Surround with Height Channels
DESCRIPTION:Microphone Array for Recording Music in Surround-Sound with Height Channels\nIn the past few years\, sound recordings with spatial audio have moved from the realm of theoretical research to the actuality of physical and digital releases in the market. At present\, three Blu-Ray disc formats utilize a traditional 5.1 surround-sound recording\, with an added 4-channel layer of height channels. David Bowles will discuss how to capture vertical localization effectively within this release format\, utilizing existing research on hearing localization and techniques learned in the field. The proposed microphone array has time-of-arrival differences between all microphones\, yet mixes down to 5.1 and stereo without excessive comb-filtering or other artifacts. \nThis is also the annual meeting of the San Francisco section\, with election results for the new year. \nSchedule\n7:00 pm Light refreshments & mixer\n7:30 pm Lecture begins \nSeating is limited\, reservations required\, click here to book your seat. \n \nSpeaker Bio\nDavid v.R Bowles formed Swineshead Productions\, LLC as a classical recording production company in 1995. His recordings have been GRAMMY-nominated (Classical – Best Orchestral Performance) and won the “Classical Orchestral Album” prize (Just Plain Folks Awards). Other Bowles-produced and engineered releases have been named “Record of the Month – Editor’s Choice” from Gramophone Magazine\, MusicWeb International and Opera News; “Record of the Year” from the New York Times (three times)\, the New Yorker\, American Record Guide\, Miami Clásica and Classical Candour. Several of these are available as high-resolution paid downloads from Naxos. \nIn collaboration with New York University’s Music Technology programme at Steinhardt School of Music\, Mr. Bowles is pursuing research in height channel recording. He has given a paper on his “Bowles array”(a height channel microphone technique) at AES conventions in New York and São Paulo\, both followed by 9.1 channel playbacks. \nAs an educator\, Mr. Bowles is a guest lecturer for Tonmeister programmes at New York University (Steinhardt School of Music)\, the Royal Danish Academy of Music\, the Peabody Recording Arts and Sciences (John Hopkins University) and the Banff Centre. He was Visiting Professor of Recording Arts at Indiana University’s Jacobs School. \nMr. Bowles is a member of the AES (Audio Engineering Society)\, was on the Board of Governors\, served on convention committees\, and the committee of the San Francisco AES section. He is a member of NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences) Producers & Engineers Wing and SPARS (Society of Professional Audio Recording Services).

SUMMARY:Summer Listening Party at Coast Mastering
DESCRIPTION:Special Emphasis on Sound Design Projects\nAES San Francisco is returning to Coast Mastering for a summer listening party on August 16\, with Michael Romanowski\, Piper Payne and Jessica Thompson. In addition to traditional music engineering and producing\, we’d like to hear from sound designers\, nature recordists\, sound artists\, and Musique Concrete creators. We’ve got two rooms–stereo and surround\, to play and discuss what you bring\, in a relaxed environment. \nWhat’s new at Coast? Since our last visit\, both studios now have the SPL Iron Mastering compressor. Piper’s room has the Manley SLAM! and Michael’s room has the SpectreSonics Model V610 Complimiter. \nCoast Mastering is in the Zaentz Media Center in Berkeley. Formerly known as Studio C\, Coast’s two newly-built mastering rooms were designed and tuned by acoustician Bob Hodas and feature speakers by Focal\, VTL monoblock tube amplifiers\, A/D/A conversion by Bricasti and Metric Halo\, ATR tape machines\, and all-analog mastering chains with gear by Masalec\, Manley\, Rupert Neve\, Knif\, Esoteric Audio Research\, GML and more. \nWe keep these small\, so advance signups are required here: using the password: musique8\n \nSchedule: \n7:00pm Mixer with sandwiches and snacks\n7:30pm Begin listening \nNote: The entry to Coast Mastering is on the Parker Street side of the building. \nStreet parking recommended\, as the parking lot across the street gets locked at 9pm. Please do not park in the Fantasy Studios/Zaentz Media Center parking lot.
