AES Show 2024 NY

With upwards of fifty remotes each year, NY Public Radio broadcasts a great variety of events from the very simple to large scale events that can involve a many different challenges, including connectivity issues and internet issues with getting audio back to the studios for live broadcasts, dealing with microphone techniques for the greatest orchestras in the world at Carnegie Hall to dealing with the elements with live broadcasts in Central Park or other outdoor locations around NYC, dealing with cooperating with p.a.'s and unions at various sites, to broadcasts at a politician's residence. Each of these kinds of events might entail unique technical and personnel challenges, but there's also a lot of common sense approaches to working with each of these challenges, as well as applying new technologies as they come along to simplify things, and hopefully make things easier over the years to deal with these challenges.

We will discuss in detail two recent events, "This Land" a live broadcast of Classical, jazz, and Americana from Brooklyn Bridge Park and World Orchestra Week (WOW!) a Youth orchestra festival from Carnegie Hall, contrasting indoor vs outdoor and amplified vs unamplified.
