Adapting Immersive Microphone Techniques for different Acoustics Spaces

Tuesday October 8, 2024 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

1E06

By now we know a lot about how immersive microphone arrays work, from fully coincident, to semi-coincident, to fully spaced etc., and how they can be used to make spectacular 3D productions, But what happens when we use the same recording techniques in very different acoustic spaces with different size ensembles etc.? Various hi-resolution immersive recordings of acoustic music from around the globe made in extraordinary acoustic spaces including Skywalker Scoring Stage, Zlin Concert Hall, Notre Dame University, NYU's Paulson Center, CNSO Studios, Smecky Studios, and other exceptional churches and concert halls will be presented. Along with critical listening exercises, we will share microphone set-ups, multi-track recordings, videos and photo documentation of the spaces with the participants.

For Future Use - Surround and Immersive from Familiar Sources

Tuesday October 8, 2024 10:15am - 11:15am EDT

1E06

In a perfect world, one would record projects in the perfect space with musicians performing in perfect balance, with perfect results, but for us, the perfect world doesn’t exist and we’re presented with projects that were never intended for surround or immersive presentation, In this illustrated talk, we will play projects that were recorded (even in the last century!) and have been turned into successful immersive and surround recordings..

Recent Advances in Volumetric Recording Techniques for Music Production

Tuesday October 8, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

1E06

Volumetric sound recording techniques , where multiple 3D sound signals are captured throughout the recording area and mapped later for playback, have shown great promise in the world of positional tracking immersive experiences. But is volumetric sound capture an effective and plausible technique for music production ? What advantages does volumetric have over more traditional recording techniques and single position Ambisonic recordings and how the signals are combined for a stationary immersive listening experience ? These questions will be addressed by sharing immersive recordings, documentation, and discussing the outcomes of recent and ongoing work conducted at New York University and McGill University.

The Art of Mixing in Stereo and ATMOS Simultaneously

Tuesday October 8, 2024 3:15pm - 4:15pm EDT

1E06

Join veteran audio engineer Matt Boudreau, who has mixed in ATMOS for Alanis Morissette, Green Day, and Deafheaven, as he delves into immersive audio mixing. In this session, Matt will discuss his approach to mixing in ATMOS and stereo simultaneously and provide a look into his Pro Tools mixing template. Drawing from his extensive experience and his Mixing in Stereo and ATMOS course, Matt will share practical tips for creating dynamic mixes that excel in both formats. Whether you're new to ATMOS or refining your skills, this presentation offers valuable insights for all audio professionals.

Upmix and Format Conversion of Multichannel Audio: An Opportunity for AI-Based Breakthroughs?

Tuesday October 8, 2024 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT

1E06

The demand for the production, distribution and playback of audio content in surround or immersive multichannel formats and flexible playback setups has continued to grow in the cinema, broadcast and music industries. This trend motivates the continued development of multichannel audio signal processing methods for the conversion of recordings between different multichannel and spatial audio formats or layouts, including down- or up-mixing. These operations leverage a well researched frequency-domain processing framework nowadays commonly referred to as parametric spatial audio signal processing, to solve challenges including the primary-ambient decomposition of audio recordings. Bringing ML/AI techniques to bear in the development of novel spatial audio analysis/synthesis methods can unlock practical applications with transformative impact. In this workshop, we will review and discuss the fundamentals and recent progress in these methods.
