It’s election season at AES this Wednesday! A list of the roles within the club is posted here. Please prepare a 2-3 minute speech detailing why you are a good fit for the role you are planning to run for. Notify Eugene, the club president, if you are running for a role at ejr5510@psu.edu. Even if you are not running, you can still join in the vote; we want to hear everyone’s voices. After voting, it will be a social meeting, listening to music and watching a short music documentary.
On Wednesday 1/19, join PSU AES, in HUB 134, as we introduce some of the gear we have on loan (dynamic mics, condenser mics, audio interfaces, mic stands, pop filters). We’ll cover the basics of your signal chain, gain staging, setting up your DAW, and the basics of recording guitars and vocals, along with other instruments.
Join the Penn State Audio Engineering society on Thursday, February 11th @ 6pm EST via Zoom (password – psuaes) for a seminar with Lenise Bent, professional audio engineer. Lenise will explain how social skills are valued just as much as technical skills. The key to a successful recording session resides in the interaction between the artist and the engineer. She will also share from her own experiences to describe what you need to succeed in today’s audio industry. There will also be a Q&A!
Bio – LENISE BENT has a long career as an audio engineer, honing
her skills on many iconic records including “Aja” by Steely Dan and
“Breakfast in America” by Supertramp. She is the first woman
engineer to receive a platinum album for Blondie’s “AutoAmerican”
album which includes “The Tide is High” and the very first hit rap
song with music, “Rapture”. Lenise is a long-standing member of the Audio Engineering Society,
the Producers & Engineers Wing of the Recording Academy and a
voting member of NARAS. She is also a proud member SoundGirls,
Women’s Audio Mission (WAM), Women in Music, the prestigious
Hollywood Sapphire Group, The Blues Foundation, IASA
(International Association of Sound Archivists) and ARSC (Assoc. of
Recorded Sound Collectors) and on the board of directors for music
nonprofit Worldwide Musicians United.
