New York, NY, October 11, 2013 — The Platinum Engineers Panel and Platinum Producers Panel have long been staples of AES Convention special event programs and will continue to be a huge draw at this year’s 135th Audio Engineering Society Convention (Thursday, October 17, through Sunday, October 20, 2013, at the Javits Center in New York City).
This year’s Platinum Engineers Panel, which takes places on Friday, October 18, 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm (Room 1E15/16), will be moderated by Justin Colletti of leading online pro audio publication SonicScoop. The panel will feature four of the industry’s leading engineers and mixers, who will examine their own works and offer insights into how great records are created. The lineup is scheduled to include:
Chris Coady (The Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, Blonde Redhead, Beach House, Delorean, Gang Gang Dance, Zola Jesus, and …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead)
Patrick Dillett (David Byrne and St. Vincent, Julia Stone, They Might Be Giants, Fatboy Slim, Bebel Gilberto, Plácido Domingo, The B-52s, Danny Elfman, Santana, Nile Rodgers, KRS-One, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Notorious B.I.G.)

The Platinum Producers Panel will be moderated by SonicScoop’s Founder/Editor David Weiss and will take place Saturday, October 19, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm (Room 1E15/16). The panelists’ collective experience spans decades and has produced hit singles and albums in rock, R&B, hip-hop, pop, jazz, and beyond. From their application of classic techniques to late-breaking revelations, this trio of hit makers will provide inside information on tracking, mixing, mastering, songwriting and getting the very best out of artists in the studio. Scheduled to participate are the following:
Jeff Jones (Eric Clapton, Wynton Marsalis, Norah Jones)
ROBOPOP (Gym Class Heroes, Maroon 5, Lana Del Ray)
Dave Tozer (John Legend, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake)
The Platinum Engineers Panel and Platinum Producers Panel create reference points at each successive AES Convention that provide the industry with a year-to-year transparent look inside the complex process of music production. “It’s a kind of living history that takes us inside not only the studio but also the artists’ minds, as they collaborate with those who are the interlocutors between art and technology,” observes Bob Moses, Executive Director of the Audio Engineering Society. “These are always great panels.”
