AES Show 2024 NY

Current music production has opened up a relatively new opportunity in the creation of 3D content, now easily available online and in various forms. Artists and labels are increasingly asking for 3D content to be delivered along with a standard stereo master. Many practitioners, however, are at a loss when it comes to how and what to deliver, as various streaming services implement their own binaural processes. Remixing older catalog content or even recent Stereo releases has proven to be problematic when working from stems that are badly prepared, or very costly when going back and remixing from scratch, using the original multitrack masters. The panel will speak to best tactics regarding the creation of stems to be delivered for use in immersive mixing, along with some examples of routing with sub-master processing, along with proper use of LFE and center channel, sides, rear and height channels. Other issues to be discussed include room simulation, loudness measurement and the various binaural processes. Questions from the audience will be a welcome part of the workshop.
