The New York Audio Show is coming soon. Are you ready to rock? If not, show organizers plan to have a few experts available to help out with that.
Recording engineers Darcy Proper and Jim Anderson will be at the show to talk about the record mastering process and present a live demo. Proper and Anderson worked on Patricia Barber's Modern Cool -- and recently took home Grammy awards for that work, in the category of Best Surround Album.
Proper plans to discuss the mastering process and the bridge between professional and high-end audio, as well as the similarities and differences between the two disciplines. She also plans to use gear and music to illustrate her presentation.
The two will appear as part of the "From Studio to You" sessions, which are being presented by PMC Speakers, The Sound Organisation and SoundStageDirect.com.
Proper is a four-time Grammy winner, with seven additional nominations. She's had her hand in mastering historical reissue albums for Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash and Andre Hazes. She's also worked on stereo and 5.1 front-line releases for Steely Dan, The Eagles, R.E.M, Donald Fagen, Porcupine Tree, Peter Maffay, Toots Thielmans and Sohne Mannheims.
Anderson is well known as a recording engineer and producer of acoustic music in the recording, radio, television and film industries. He's been working with Barber for more than 20 years and is a 10-time Grammy winner with two George Foster Peabody Awards for radio programs and two Emmy nominations for television shows. He's currently on the faculty of NYU Tisch Arts/Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music and has been the audio producer for PBS for In Performance at the White House and The Kennedy Center Gala with the National Symphony.
He plans to show off the 5.1 surround Modern Cool re-release, as well as Barber's latest album (Smash) to illustrate how the albums were mastered.
Mixed at Skywalker Ranch, both Moden Cool and Smash will be played in high resolution, 2-channel stereo and Blu-ray surround.
"We are pleased to offer attendees at the New York Audio show this amazing opportunity to learn how music recordings are created," said Matt Silberstein, national sales manager at The Sound Organisation. "You don't have to be an audiophile to love music and having access to Jim and Darcy, two of the most respected sound engineers in the world, is a once in a lifetime experience. Both have worked with some of the best musicians in the world and they have fabulous stories to share."
The New York Audio Show will run from April 12-14, 2013, at the New York Palace Hotel.
