| | Today's Review | On The Future of Touch Screen Technology in Audio Production
By Lynn Fuston, Technical Editor for Pro Audio Review
I like visionaries and innovators: those who get out front of currently accepted standards and utilize/create technology to push the boundaries. Names like Tesla, Edison, Blumlein and Marconi come to mind. But right now it seems there's a lot more focus on recreating/modeling classics of the past (some 50 years old or more), both in hard and software than in innovation. Since the 90s, the start of the digital revolution, manufacturers have focused on higher sampling rates, better specs, lower noise and power consumption, but we've just about achieved all we can in that regard.

I was lucky enough to attend this year’s Moogfest and found it was certainly a different kind of festival. The Asheville, NC-based event, now spanning five days and 10 venues, has celebrated the legacy of Dr. Bob Moog—electronic music pioneer, inventor of the Moog synthesizer and founder of Moog Music—since 2004. Moogfest has manifested itself in an amalgamation of many things forward-thinking and creative; it’s truly “the synthesis of technology, art and music,” to quote Moogfest’s own slogan. Daytime events mix performances with artist, engineer and (yes) scientist-provided keynotes, panels, installations, workshops and films; nighttime events more closely resemble a traditional music festival, but one of otherworldly soundscapes.
“Clearly the idea was to bring together scientists,” explains Gordon Reid, moderator of Moogfest 2014’s Synthesized Sounds & Voices panel series and, by trade, CEDAR Audio Ltd.’s managing director. “Mathematicians, physicists and other academics were there along with musicians, artists and dreamers.
