The Future of the Loudness Wars, A.I. in Music Production, 360 Sound, and more [SSP031]

In this episode of the SonicScoop podcast LIVE from MixCon, 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. First, Jonathan Bailey of iZotope tells us about the emergence of artificial intelligence 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? Then, you won't want to miss Alan Silverman's full presentation on the current and future state of loudness in music making, as he 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, Marta Gospodarek tells us all about the state of the art in "spatial audio", from binaural music productions to 360 recording formats to the cutting edge of "object based" surround sound and more.
