LDI2018 Audio Tracks: A First Look At The LDInnovation Amplify Sessions

We’re so excited! 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the LDI Show, and we’re celebrating with the biggest audio conference and events lineup yet.

With the show just months away, we’ve already assembled some of the sharpest minds in live sound to lead our LDI Amplify audio panel sessions, taking place October 18-20 in Las Vegas. Here’s a preview of what you can expect to learn. Sign up now and start planning to take your skills to the next level.

We’ll open with a keynote from Tony Award-winning sound designer Jonathan Deans, the audio genius behind numerous Broadway and West End productions, as well as 14 Cirque du Soleil shows. Deans will take stock of the state of theatre sound design and look to the future of the craft.

With today's live sound technology, it's possible to create a studio-quality mix at just about any live event. In our Studio Strategies for Stage Mixes panel, Grammy-winning engineer Erik Zobler will lead a discussion with engineers who work in both recording and live environments to find out ways they’re tapping studio techniques for their live mixes.

Working on audio for live sports means life in the hot seat; it can seem like a job best left to adrenaline junkies. What does it take to succeed in this intense environment? Jeri Palumbo, an A1 broadcast mixer and RF tech with experience on events ranging from the Super Bowl to the Stanley Cup to the World Series, talks about the challenges—and the rewards—of the gig.

The newest generation of live sound engineers is changing paradigms. Come catch our Live Sound Careers: New Generation, New Challenges panel to learn how these young professionals take on modern job challenges and seek out new ways to get things done.

And, since it’s our 30th anniversary, we’ve enlisted Bernie Broderick, veteran live sound engineer, consultant, and founder of the Truth in Audio mobile training academy, to take us through three decades of technologies that allow us to perform our jobs today (with a few war stories that old-timers among us will surely relate to) in our Sound Reinforcement Perspective: Techniques and Truths, Then and Now panel.

The wireless world continues to evolve at a blinding pace, so make sure you attend wireless guru Kelly Fair’s Wireless Workflow panel to get a handle on the latest spectrum issues. We’ll examine Immersive Audio Technology, from Production to Playback, and we’ll dig deep into Power and Signal Distribution for Live Event Production in today’s complex environments. And, we’re working on a surprise event case study that you will not want to miss.

Come join 14,000 of your fellow production pros at the industry’s leading entertainment technology event. For a complete schedule, visit www.LDIshow.com and start planning your show experience now. See you in Las Vegas!
