Announcement Coincides with “Stream the Studio” Panel Featuring LeadingExecutives from the Music and Technology Industries
Santa Monica, Calif. —The Recording Academy® Producers & Engineers Wing® announced today the release of “Recommendations for Hi-Resolution Music Production.” The result of three years of extensive research, this new set of technical guidelines joins other influential papers previously published by the P&E Wing promoting best practices in audio recording.
The Recommendations were developed by a group of leading Recording Academy members, including numerous multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning engineers and producers, and included input from a wide cross section of the recording industry. Covered in the document are a variety of topics including Hi-Res Audio definitions; hardware and software considerations; recording and mixing parameters; the pros and cons of upsampling; provenance; and other important issues.
“The release of this new set of recommendations is a milestone,” states Maureen Droney, The Recording Academy Managing Director, P&E Wing. “We are extremely excited by the collaborative efforts and shared vision of our industry towards the goal of providing consumers with studio-quality music listening. We are proud to be a partner in this initiative and also very grateful to all of the recording professionals who contributed their thoughts and expertise to this important document.”
The debut of this new reference document coincides with “Stream the Studio – The Next Wave in Subscription Music,” a panel sponsored by the DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group, held at the Music Biz 2017 conference in Nashville. In addition to Droney, the panel featured leading music and technology executives including Richard Burgess, A2IM; Ty Roberts, Universal Music Group; Howie Singer, Warner Music Group; and Darren Stupak, Sony Music Entertainment. It was moderated by Marc Finer, Sr. Director, DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group.
