   *A3E Conference Update...*

*A3E is Proud to Feature Jack Joseph Puig, Producer/Engineer & Director
of Creative Innovation, Waves Audio as an A3E Keynote Speaker.*

  From U2 to Pussycat Dolls, from Mary J. Blige to Black Eyed Peas, from
Snow Patrol and Counting Crows to Sheryl Crow and Jellyfish, from Goo
Goo Dolls and Panic at the Disco! to Beck and The Rolling Stones, from
John Mayer and Keith Urban to Green Day and Lady Gaga…

Iconic GRAMMY® award -winning producer/engineer Jack Joseph Puig and his
personal palette of tones, shades, and hues have illuminated and
empowered a kaleidoscope of projects that have spanned commercial record
making. His vivid and vibrant productions have defined and redefined the
sound of contemporary pop, rock, country, and urban music, time and time
again.

Jack Joseph Puig, eleven-time GRAMMY® award-winning producer/engineer
realized that the sound he creates - using cutting-edge processors in a
world-class studio, and drawing on his years of experience - often ends
up on a smartphone with small, tinny speakers, or through inexpensive
headphones. Listeners weren’t hearing the music at its best, so he
decided to do something about it. He joined forces with Waves Audio to
bring studio sound to listeners everywhere. With MaxxAudio, listeners
can experience the magic felt by artists in the recording studio – from
their ears to yours.

For over 4 years, Jack has been at the forefront of Waves’ consumer
division as Director of Creative Innovation of the Waves Consumer Division.

   *A3E Exchange Spotlights...*

WaveDNA was founded in Toronto in 2010 by CEO Douglas Mummenhoff and
Vice President/Lead Inventor David Beckford. Their vision was to create
virtual instruments that dramatically streamline the composition process
for songwriters, producers, and composers.

Their story began in the late ‘80’s when Dave noticed the gap between
the then recently created standard of MIDI and traditional musical
notation. Neither was capable of capturing the performances modern
technology had afforded musicians, DJ’s, and producers. David is a
multi-instrumentalist, composer, digital audio editor, programmer, and
former Technical Director at U of T’s music cognition lab. Dave offeres
a unique skill set to bear on the effort to bridge the notation gap.

By 2009, Dave had developed a working prototype of what would drive
Liquid Rhythm. This engine allowed him to analyze musical compositions.
It can isolate and catalogue unique rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic
characteristics, and recall those elements without sheet music,
multi-track recorders, or live musicians. At that time, both he and Doug
were working on a project related to the Ryerson’s Emoti-Chair Project.
This effort was spearheaded by the university’s CLT and SMART labs. They
were developing a technology that would enable the hearing impaired to
experience music using their other senses.

Doug was an early adopter of digital technology with extensive
experience as a website developer and IT manager. He immediately
recognized the potential of Dave’s analysis engine and shortly
thereafter the two founded WaveDNA. Their intent was to apply Dave’s
invention to innovative software solutions that would enable musicians
to achieve their vision quickly and easily. They continue to design
virtual instruments that inspire the creative process.

Pete Brown

Developer Experience and Evangelism

Microsoft

Back in the 80s, Pete Brown was bitten by the computer music bug the
first time he made music come out of a SID chip on a Commodore 64. Later
when he connected his Juno 106 to the Commodore with a Passport MIDI
interface, he was hooked for life. Today, he works at Microsoft helping
developers, musicians, and makers successfully build creative audio
apps, the Internet of Things, and more, all with the goal of making
Windows a more creative platform.
