California Soundscapes – Recording Natural Environments with Dan Dugan
The San Francisco Audio Engineering Society, the Nature Sounds Society, and Meyer Sound are presenting “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 (which are 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.

6:00 p.m. | doors open, light refreshments and networking
