Hamburg: LEaTCon + Studioszene 2023
2023-10-17 00:00 - 2023-10-19 23:59 | HAMBURG MESSE, Messeplatz 1, Hamburg, 20357
Auf der LEaT con trifft sich das Who is Who der Veranstaltungsbranche: ob technischer Planer, FOH-Techniker, Creative Designer, Bühnenbauer – vom Azubi bis zum CEO sind alle Branchenakteure als Aussteller, Speaker, Guide oder einfach als Gast vor Ort. Interessant dieses Jahr ist die Zusammenlegung mit dem bereits im Süden unserer Republik etablierten jährlichen Event “Studioszene” mit vielen international besetzten Masterclasses im Bereich Musikproduktion. EIN Ticket gilt für beide Events. Es gibt allerdings Premium und Masterclass Optionen.
Als fördernder Partner der AES Germany eV revanchieren wir uns gerne wieder bei der LEaT con mit 2 interessanten Programmpunkten dieses Jahr:

Den erfahrenen Akustiker und Ingenieur Ralf Bauer-Diefenbach, MasterMind vom Planungsbüro MMT-Network GmbH / MMT-TLV, versuchten wir schon letztes Jahr auf unser immersives Panel zu holen. Diesmal hat es geklappt.

Er präsentiert verschiedene Immersive Sound Produktionen aus den Bereichen Klassik, Jazz und Theater. Anhand von erfolgreich realisierten Projekten aus dem Berliner Ensemble und verschiedenen Festivals wird besonderes Augenmerk auf die Klangarchitektur, die eingesetzten Immersive sound-Systeme und auf die Signalkette gerichtet.

Wie immer bei AES Germany events wird es Zeit geben, um Fragen zu stellen und den Stand der Technik in größerer Runde zu diskutieren.

Philipp Reif, Musikverleger und Mitglied vom Berliner “Tonmeister Kollektiv Loock, Reif, Gass” hat mit seinem Thema “Broadcasting In-the-Box” schon ein großes, junges Berliner Fachpublikum begeistert im August auf einem AES Germany event. So haben wir ihn gleich nochmal nach Hamburg eingeladen, um seine Mixing Techniken für Live-Übertragung von akustischen und klassischen Musikproduktionen vorzustellen.Diesmal kann in deutscher Sprache mit diskutiert werden.

Das komplette Programm der LEaT con finden Sie hier und das der Studioszene hier. Die Ausstellerliste hier.Erkundigen Sie sich nach der Verfügbarkeit von ermäßigten Eintrittspreisen für AES Mitglieder, indem Sie uns eine EMail schicken.

[englisch]The who’s who of the event industry meets at LEaT con: whether technical planners, FOH technicians, creative designers, stage builders – from trainees to CEOs, all industry players are on site as exhibitors, speakers, guides or simply as guests. The presentation language is mostly German, but there are also some speakers in English per day.Interesting this year is the combination with the already in the south of our republic established event “Studioszene” with many international masterclasses. ONE ticket is valid for both events. However, there are separate Premium and Masterclass options.As a supporting partner of AES Germany eV, we are happy to return the favor at LEaT con with 2 interesting program items this year:

We already tried to get the experienced acoustician and engineer Ralf Bauer-Diefenbach, MasterMind from the planning office MMT-Network GmbH, on our immersive panel last year. This time it worked out. He will have the whole stage to himself and present interesting projects from the field of sound architecture in event spaces. As always at AES Germany events, there will be time to ask questions and discuss the state of the art in a larger group.

Philipp Reif, music publisher and member of the Berlin “Tonmeister Kollektiv Loock, Reif, Gass” has already inspired a large, young Berlin audience with his topic “Broadcasting In-the-Box” at an AES Germany event in August. So we invited him again to Hamburg to present his mixing techniques for live broadcasting of acoustical and classical music recordings.

AES Germany Berlin, Angelika Podola & MSM Berlin, Stefan Bock are inviting to:Immersive Audio as its own art:

Most immersive audio mixes are 3D representations of productions made for stereo. In this workshop we will discuss and demonstrate a completely different approach. The artistic impact is different, if the artists and engineers take immersive audio as its own art. We’ll demonstrate four different projects that have started as an immersive audio production already in the phase of composing and creation. This can be achieved as well for productions, that have started as an immersive live experience as for projects that are created in a studio environment only.

We will play music from our latest productions like Dave McKendry, Martin Kälberer, Boris Blank, Die Fantastischen Vier, Peter Gabriel and more.The workshop will be conducted by Stefan Bock – Director | Engineer & Producer from msm-studios.Event host: msm-studios GmbH & Co. KG

Research Colloquium #6: Perceptual Audio Coders – What To Listen For
2024-03-13 17:00 - 18:30 | Online Zoom
REGISTER HERE

Perceptual audio coding is ubiquitous and perceptual audio codecs like MP3 and AAC are widely known. It has fundamentally revolutionized the way how we transmit, store and consume music, fueling applications like Internet streaming and downloading of music. Perceptual audio coding combines elements from digital signal processing, coding theory, and psychoacoustics into one system. It is, however, mostly the use of psychoacoustic noise shaping techniques that frequently leads to questions from non-experts (“Is this signal really intact?”) and sometimes is even perceived as some kind of “black magic” within the coder.

To educate users and listeners, the AES Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals (TC-CAS) has created educational material on “Perceptual Audio Codecs – What to Listen for”. It comprises tutorial information on the principles and limitations of perceptual audio coding technologies, as well as curated listening examples to educate and train listeners to identify possible audio coding artifacts.

Originally published as a CD-ROM in 2001, the material has been updated in content and functionality and been released as “The Second / Web Edition” for its 20th Anniversary in 2021. After the Web Edition has initially been exclusively available as an AES membership benefit, it is available free of charge to the general public since February 2023 for the 75th Anniversary of the AES, by courtesy of the AES and its Technical Committee on Coding of Audio Signals.

It is a useful resource for understanding the why’s and how’s of perceptual audio codecs, containing a taxonomy of common types of codec artifacts, as well as tutorial information on the background of each one. Example audio signals with different degrees of impairment illustrate the nature of the artifacts and help in training listener expertise. With this support, you can become your own expert listener in audio coding!

The research colloquium guides through this useful resource, with the speakers Jürgen Herre (TC chair) and Sascha Dick (editor).

Wednesday 11:00 Keynote Main StageBeyond the Standards: Crafting Immersive Audio for Cutting-Edge Venues – and what goes ahead

Speaker: Tom Ammermann

Today we have new benchmarks for immersive audio like the Sphere in Las Vegas. What makes such environments so special and are such venues however asked for more, maybe interactivity? And how to create the content for such custom and complex loudspeaker environments? The presentation will touch these tasks and offer some more details and insides as well as showing a workflow example.

Wednesday 23.10.2024 11:15 AVstage:MILAN, Dante, RAVENNA, AES67 & the 7 Layers to Hell

In this session Andreas Hildebrand will provide an overview of the current AoIP solutions and explains how the various technologies align with the 7-layer OSI model. The audience will learn about the main commonalities and differences between MILAN, Dante and RAVENNA – and if AES67 can help guiding us from Hell to Purgatory…

Wednesday 13:30-15:00 LEaT Academy Space 2How to train a Spatial Audio Dome

*Deep Dive Workshop*

Audio pre-production for large custom configured venues is always a challenge. The mix cannot be made onsite because it’s always busy and in regular audio production fascicles like studios and with headphones the loudspeaker formats normally just match to standard formats like Stereo, 5.1, and 7.1.4. Another issue is how to check and play it finally onsite. What kind of master is requested. The workshop will offer an example and workflow how deal with and solve all this issues.
