SAN FRANCISCO:

The 133rd AES Convention will herald the introduction of the Project Studio Expo, featuring practical training and an exhibit area focused on leading edge project studio technology. Developed in partnership with Sound On Sound and Craig Anderton, the Project Studio Expo (PSE) brings the latest recording techniques, best practices, and practical tips from leaders in the recording business. "I think we can safely say this two-day event will be a highlight of the convention," states AES Executive Director Bob Moses. "It builds on AES's long history of leadership in the recording industry, and addresses issues of deep importance to people working in small studios. Based on early feedback from industry pros, I'm confident we have hit a home run with this event."

Indeed, in a rare joint statement co-signed by Sound On Sound Editorial Director Dave Lockwood and Editor Paul White; Craig Anderton, Executive Editor, Electronic Musician and Editor in Chief, Harmony Central; Frank Wells, Editor, Pro Sound News and the AES Daily; Sarah Jones, Editor, Electronic Musician; Tom Kenny, Editor, Mix; Strother Bullins, Pro Audio Review; Recording Magazine Editor, Lorenz Rycher and Associate Editor Mike Metlay; and Tape Op Editor/ Founder, Larry Crane, and Publisher John Baccigaluppi, these industry leaders stated: "We strongly support AES in striking out in this new direction. We believe that in the years to come, the Project Studio Expo will continue to grow, and in the process, enhance the overall Convention."

"AES has always been the place where the recording industry came to share the latest techniques and connect with colleagues from around the world," Bob Moses said. "In past years the business was built on a number of large studios and an entirely different workflow than today. The Project Studio Expo brings the AES into alignment with the reality of today's industry, and addresses the latest techniques, best practices, and workflow. Anyone doing professional work in a small studio should come to listen, learn, and connect with their peers and mentors."

The 133rd AES Convention Project Studio Expo is open to the public. Other AES Convention Technical Program events may require separate paid registration. For additional information visit: www.aes.org/ProjectStudioExpo
