Video: NYC Mixcon 2019
Loudness Wars, AI Music Production, And 360 Sound
Video By SonicScoop Live From MixCon

  This episode of the SonicScoop podcast comes to us live from MixCon 2019 in NYC, as Justin Colletti is joined by three brilliant panelists for a look at how music production is changing right now, and where the field is headed next. This video features .

First is Jonathan Bailey of iZotope who tells us about the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in music production. Are you going to lose your job to a robot composer, performer mix or mastering engineer? Or are they here to help you do more and better work than ever?

Up next is a very informative presentation by Alan Silverman on the current and future state of loudness in music making. Alan describes how streaming services have taken us "through the looking glass" into an upside-down world where loud has become quiet, quiet has become loud — and the way we make records will never be the same again.

Finally, we have Marta Gospodarek discussing state-of-the-art in "spatial audio", from binaural music productions to 360-degree recording formats to the cutting edge of "object based" surround sound.
