I'll be co-presenting the first tutorial session at the Audio Engineering Society 53rd Conference on Semantic Audio, this weekend. (It's the society's 53rd Conference, and it happens to be about semantic audio. It's not their 53rd conference about semantic audio. In fact it's their second: that was also the theme of the AES 42nd Conference… Continue reading SoundSoftware tutorial at AES 53

Apart from using the terms "post-PC", "touch tablet", "app store", and "cloud" a disgracefully large number of times, this article sets out a problem that's been puzzling me… Continue reading Can you develop research software on an iPad?

Maintenance of the software will be moved elsewhere, at least according to its owners Avid, the former video-editing software company that expanded madly throughout the professional audio and video world during the 2000s and… Continue reading Hyvästi, Sibelius

This was a one-day workshop about working practices for researchers developing software and experiences they have had in software work, with an eye to subjects of interest to audio and music researchers. You can read about the workshop… Continue reading SoundSoftware 2012 Workshop
