The AES SF, the Nature Sounds Society, and Meyer Sound will present a special edition of "California Soundscapes", a lecture/demonstration about recording natural environments in immersive formats.
This presentation will emphasize the technical aspects of Dan Dugan's work including "heavy" systems, which use professional mics and cables, and "light" systems, designed to be backpacked. The differences between one-point mikes vs. near- and wide-spaced mikes will be demonstrated, and a current controversy about height mikes will be briefly discussed. There will be immersive playback of recordings from regions of California ranging over the coastal zone, the Valley, the deserts, and the Sierras.
