I’ve been at Studio Szene 2023 in Hamburg this week and all I can say is: It was an awesome event! Lots of outstanding speakers sharing their knowledge in some kind of a familiar environment. It was an absolute pleasure to watch pros at work and sharing some of their experience.
Hans-Martin Buff about producing in 3D & Atmos
The first master-class I have joined was about producing in 3D audio like dolby atmos. Hans-Martin Buff, who is working with Artists like Peter Gabriel, Prince …, explained his journey through the 3D audio world and showed some of his advanced techniques he uses to make 3D audio translate to different systems.

Warren Huart & Jaycen Joshua about the future of AI in music production
The next point on my schedule was the discussion of Warren Huart & Jaycen Joshua about the future of AI in music production. It was very refreshened to hear their thoughts about that huge mystical thing called artificial intelligence and it’s indent into the audio world. That was a great talk about the pros and cons. There are lots of places where AI could carry the heavy lifting at audio engineering what gives us engineers more time and space to do the creative stuff. On the other hand there are a lot of issues that are not discovered yet. Whats about copyrights for instance?!

Warren Huart about how to improve your mixing skills
Next stop on my list was a master-class with Warren Huart about how to improve your mixing skills. He gave us great insights into his way of working through tiny details which add up to an amazing mix. Warren was focused on the “why” of doing things more than on the “how”. There are lots of tutorials about how to dial in a specific snare sound, compression settings or how to EQ an acoustic guitar. So it’s not that difficult to figure out the technical part. But the when and why and how far to push it in each situation is a thing I’ve my troubles with as well. It was very helpful to learn more about Warren point of view in these situations.
