The World Between Analogue and Digital

Rachel Walkowski Events lecture series, solid state logic

Join us for an informative and entertaining evening where we will cover the world that lies between Analogue and digital – the hybrid world. Guest speaker Fadi T. Hayek from Solid State Logic will lead a discussion where we cover the history and technologies that have lead to the resurgence of Analog hardware and its current marriage with digital technology.

Mr. Hayek will be presenting several SSL products including Matrix, X-desk, two rack cases full of SSL outboard equipment and a portable Mac DAW.

Topics include:

Summing in the box and outside the box.

Understanding the science and sound behind this controversial topic.

Transient response and SuperAnalogue: How to get the “Big Record” sound out of your DAW.

Core Audio Pipeline and the PCIe standard: Is zero latency possible in a Native DAW?

Hybrid Processing of Plugins; what are the differences between native and hardware-driven audio plugins?
