	Basics of Audio Production for Producer, Project Manager & Broadcast Engineers
	30 September & 1 October 2010 at PLAZAMEDIA in Ismaning "The moment of creation is not necessarily the moment of decision; this would prevent the adventure of discovering new sounds” says Sound Designer David Sonnenschein. But what’s the clue to an auditory creation and production in the audiovisual area? By which filmic tools and creative possibilities are produced audio tracks nowadays? What should be considered while creating an audio design? Good audiovisual productions are not just convincing because of the image, but also because of an elaborated mixture of music, sounds and voices. The integral effect of the audiovisual experience is more than the single addition of images plus sounds. This two-day event organised by Eyes & Ears of Europe and PLAZAMEDIA offers an overview of the basics of hearing, as well as the acoustics of hearing and psychoacoustics. Furthermore, the techniques of audio design, including practical demonstrations of shapes of sounds, will be presented. Beyond that, historical and conceptual sound design in audio visual media will be focussed. This event is primarily aiming at producer, project manager and broadcast engineers, who wants to know more about this topic. Persons interested in the media, students and trainees are also very welcome. Please note that the number of participants is limited to a maximum number of 20. The presentations will all be held in German. Registration deadline: 24 September 2010 Any questions? Just give us a call: +49 (221) 60 60 57 10
