Integration and interoperability in immersive live production

Wednesday November 20, 2024 13:30 - 14:30 CET

With the advent of spatial audio renderers in the live entertainment industry, channel-based mixing solutions are being replaced by object-based mixing solutions. These processors are first used by system technicians. But above all, they are mixing tools. New companions of sound engineers and artists appear: software for positioning an audio object in the sound field. These interfaces have to be integrated into the wide show ecosystem, including mixing consoles, show controllers, tracking systems, potentially lighting and video.

How to make this possible since everyone uses his own language and protocol. One can talk MIDI, another OSC, PosiStageNet or a proprietary protocol. Do we need complex tools to translate a language into another? Or can we have a common vocabulary?

Leading audio manufacturers have worked together to come up with an OSC specification that everyone can use to easily interoperate. This is ADM-OSC, which has just been presented at the AES convention in New York early October.
