Join us for an engaging workshop exploring deep learning tools for sound design. You'll receive two 30-second video clips, each intended to evoke different emotional responses, and be tasked with creating a musical accompaniment (including sound design) using the AI tools introduced. Gain insights from professionals who offer diverse perspectives on these technologies and learn how to integrate commercial and open-source AI effectively into your creative process. We’ll discuss the future of AI in sound design, focusing on its potential benefits, challenges, and areas for improvement. Come explore how AI can support rather than replace audio professionals.
In this workshop you’ll gain insights into Dolby Atmos audio with a particular emphasis on using your original stereo mix as a starting point to create an Atmos mix. You will learn how to set up your stereo mix session in a way that will make the transition into Atmos easy as well as create an Atmos mix using stems.

Outcome: A deeper understanding of the voice ADR and music overdub process between the engineer, talent and client, advanced remote collaboration techniques for audio engineers, and general knowledge of the challenges of remote recording and how to overcome them to achieve flawless remote sessions.
Summary: In this workshop you will learn in-depth the critical concepts you need to know for stress-free Remote ADR and Music Overdub sessions, when the talent (e.g. voice actor or music recording artist), audio engineer and perhaps client are all remote from each other. The primary challenge in recording remotely is that the talent will not have the engineer alongside them, and this requires additional technical setup on the talent’s side. Guiding the talent through this process is as important as knowing how to configure your own setup. In this workshop you will learn ADR and Overdub terms and concepts, how to set up a DAW for remote recording, using remote timeline synchronization techniques, and how to manage remote talent and client sessions using professional remote collaboration tools. Bio: Robert Marshall is musician, engineer, and producer, he is the visionary behind the idea of leveraging Internet connectivity to make post-production faster and more productive.
