Wednesday's seminar (11th January, 3:30pm):
Title:
Audio processing for radio broadcast and DJs
Speaker:
Mark Hills
Abstract:
This talk gives an overview of Linux-based audio software developed by the
author and used by several major radio broadcasters for digital broadcast.
We go into considerable detail on a mastering processor, used for live
processing of a radio station's final output. We discuss more generally
the methods used in this and similar systems, which are potentially
applicable in 'auto mix' and other systems correcting or dealing with
variation in audio. The talk is followed by a short introduction to the
'xwax' software, which is an open-source program used by DJs for live
performance.
Bio:
Mark Hills is a freelance software developer. His interests are in image
and audio processing, principally working for the last 10 years in radio
broadcast and film post-production. He has a PhD from University of
Nottingham in Computer Vision.
