In Reply to: The trouble with AES and ASA posted by geoffkait on August 4, 2013 at 10:46:40:
I've been an AES member for decades. Its focus is the sound, as well as the role of measurements in designing and evaluating gear, studios, pro sound installations, and broadcasting. If you dig into the AES e-library, you will find a huge concern with the relationship of measurements to what we hear. (They have a bunch of Heyser's papers for example. Also, their big-deal event at the annual conference is the Heyser memorial lecture.) The other giant organization, the IEEE, *is* more concerned with standards, but then standards is their business.
BTW, for audio geeks in New York, the AES convention will be at the Javits center Oct 17-20. A ticket to the full conference is expensive, but you can fill up four long days from the couple hundred technical sessions they offer. You can also meet and talk with the engineers, producers, designers, and manufacturers. There are studio visits available during the run; Electric Lady Studios and WQXR come to mind from recent years. Two years ago Tom Fine showed slides and home movies of Bob and Wilma at work, someone showed film of Layton/Mohr tracking sessions, and Dae Bennett and Phil Ramone did a great show on the tracking sessions for Tony's "Duets" records. (Tony was sick that day, and couldn't be there, which was a shame.) A panel session of producer/engineers paired long-timers Tony Visconti and Bob Power with a couple young successful newcomers - that old-timer versus hot-shot format gave a vivid picture of what has changed in recording, and what hasn't. Doug Sax's mastering session on the loudness wars some years back really framed the argument that was, up until then, somewhat nebulous. Most of the schedule is on the AES site, and the rest should be filled in next week.
