Anyone in New York? - Agua - Oct 08, 2009
If any SourceOPers are in the Manhattan/Queens area, I'll be in town geeking out for an audio engineering convention.
The first round will be on me.

So what do you do at those, listen to recordings?

Sometimes. Last time I was there, I heard recordings from 1863 that were recorded on lamp black. I'll get into that some other time. But it was haunting and amazing.
Mostly you screw around with $4,000+ microphones, the latest version of Digital Workstations, play with multi-million dollar sound boards, listen to $6,000 speakers, that sorta shit. There are also tutorials, workshops, mentoring sessions, studio tours (I hung out at a party at Avatar Studios tonight).
Mostly I'm there to drum up sponsorship for an event that I created (the first of its kind in AES history) for my alma mater. I've been to five of these conventions and now have a ton of connections with almost every major microphone manufacturer and able to hold audience with a few really big names in audio.
It's also really handy for networking and finding work if you have the right combination of skill, schmooze, and luck.
