We welcome everyone at Pacific Northwest AES meetings and registration is free.

Registration for online attendance is required and free to all. AES membership is not required. Donations are welcome. 

Why does a recording made in 1966 (usually) sound different from one made in 2026? How much of that difference is due to gear and how much is due to different techniques and philosophies? And what do audiophiles think of it all? Join us on Zoom for a conversation to discuss those topics and more with Nashville engineer and producer Jamie Tate.

To Attend:

This is an Online meeting. We ask you to sign up here for a free ticket, since that will tell us how many people will attend and we can plan accordingly.
