AES Convention

YAY!

The Audio Engineering Society is here in SF this weekend and I am going to browse the exhibits. CLASP looks pretty cool:

“The two basic components of the CLASP system are a hardware interface and companion VST plug-ins. Rather than making analog connections directly to the A/D converters feeding the DAW, the signals are first connected to CLASP, which is interfaced with an analog tape machine. When a track is armed inside the DAW, the VST plug-in automatically sends track-arming and transport control information to the tape machine through the CLASP hardware. The engineer works inside the DAW as normal, operationally ignoring the tape machine. When any DAW track is armed, pressing “play” on the DAW rolls the tape machine, and when “record” is punched in, all tracks on the tape machine enter record. Armed tracks are recorded on tape and the playback head signal is then immediately fed to and recorded by the DAW through the CLASP plug-ins.”

Here is an exhibitor list
