Jack Anderson

Head of Engineering at Design & Integration, Inc. BM:SRT 2005 Home Washington DC . : http://www.designandintegration.com
Biography

A professional audio / video engineer for 9 years, I’ve designed and engineered numerous whole-facility audiovisual systems. I’ve worked in the Pentagon configuring videoconferencing systems. I’ve worked in areas as far away as Monterey, Mexico, and Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. The customers I’ve worked with include Johns Hopkins University, the National Parks Service, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the International Monetary Fund.

I left full-time employment to deepen my knowledge of how business works by pursuing a Master’s degree in Engineering Management at the University of Colorado. When I graduate in May of 2017, I will leave with a much stronger understanding of how business strategy is developed and deployed, as well as having learned a lot about leadership.

Av Assistant at The Colburn School BM:SRT 2008 Home Los Angeles CA . : http://www.thecolburnschool.edu
Biography

I work at a conservatory on the AV staff; what I do is more “A” than “V,” but I’ve had to considerably expand knowledge of video and projection and such. Between the three of us we record many Colburn concerts and recitals (including The Colburn Orchestra), maintain and upgrade the recording and production AV infrastructure in three performing spaces as well as in all classrooms of the school, and fulfill all audio and video production needs for the school’s various departments (conservatory, community school, dance, and jazz).
Otherwise I’ve developed an unrelenting interest in nature, culture, psychology, civilization, science, myth… and the cross-disciplinary connections therein. This takes up the rest of my time.

Notes

I assisted on 2 iTunes releases for LA Philharmonic and edited several LA opera recordings to be broadcast. That’s about it as far as super-cool professional accomplishments. During the LA Phil weeks I pretty much slept, ate, and worked (I guess that’s an accomplishment in itself). Also, hundreds and hundreds of archival recordings later.. I’ll soon be recording a string quartet for my first commercial release engineering credit ever!

Audio Engineer, DJamesTagg MM:SRT 2012 Home Tuscaloosa AL . : http://www.djamestagg.com/
Biography

Having recorded three GRAMMY®-nominated albums, received multiple internationally competitive recording awards from the Audio Engineering Society, and having worked across the United States and Canada, D. James Tagg (Jamie) has helped clients achieve and maintain high quality recordings for over 15 years. Jamie is passionate about presenting spatial realism in recordings. Whether it be the perfect capture and a true-to-period presentation of a live classical performance, or constructing depth and space in a pop mix, the artist is always put in the best possible musical space.

In addition to setting standards in recordings, Jamie also develops new ways of capturing and processing music in both acoustic and signal processing domains. After many hours of subjective listening tests, he has developed and published research on a new stereo mic technique called STAAG (Stereo Technique for Augmented Ambience Gradient). He also has developed/programmed spatial processing tools through digital signal processing (DSP) for his own use, as well as for THAT Corporation’s dBx-TV.
