The Audio Engineering Society (AES) has announced its Tutorials schedule for the
upcoming 140th International Convention, to take place at the Palais des Congres in
Paris, France, from June 4 through 7, 2016. As part of the convention’s Technical
Program, more than 25 tutorials will offer in-depth seminars and training sessions
on a broad range of topics including stereo and multichannel systems and
immersive sound; studio design and acoustics; game, film and TV sound design; the
latest developments in binaural recording and mixing and much more.

The Tutorials program will kick off on Saturday, June 4, with a session on main
microphone techniques for 2.0 and 5.1 presented by SCHOEPS GmbH, followed by a
presentation on binaural applications using Auro-3D over headphones.

Sunday’s tutorials will cover a wide variety of topics, including optimizing recording
studio acoustics on a budget, object-based mixing for Radio France, surround-sound
production for live electronic music, and headphone virtualization and immersive
sound technologies from New Audio Technology GmbH and Auro-3D.

Monday will offer a full spectrum of sessions: binaural head recording for related
HD video, immersive sound design using Sound Particles software, a new approach
to “agile’ game sound design that involves end-users in the design process, a
historical overview of 100 years of condenser microphone design presented by
Neumann, techniques for creating a 64-channel “acousmonium’ in a 3D scene with
the Unity5 development platform and much more.

Tuesday features another full day of information-packed programs including
techniques for 9.1 immersive audio, optimizing sampling and sample rate
conversion, Audio Description (AD) sound design for making visual content more
accessible to visually impaired people, audio forensics, creative vocal production
techniques, parametric spatial audio processing for heightened sound field realism
and additional tutorial sessions in immersive sound, psychoacoustics and other
topics.
