Default 2016 Los Angeles AES Show Report

My annual AES show report is now posted. Visit the Trade Show Reports
page for this one and reports from other shows, or jump straight to it
here. As usual, it's about what I noticed and found interesting. If you
don't see something here that you're curious about, it might have been
at the show and either I missed it, reported on it at a previous show,
or it just wasn't my thing. Enjoy.

As usual, it's a fairly long PDF. Read it on line or download it.

Which isn't on the wordpress page. If you're going to pick up problems,
at least pick up on ones that exist.

Usenet is dead, since Facebook, where dumb people who can't communicate simply by hitting a button! Why people need self made, canned, blog stuff. Usenet stinks for file sharing, etc.. Even EasyNews offered a web based version of Usenet. I thought that was illegal, since THEY are instrumental in the file sharing.

Since day one, decade + ago, met some NICE people in usenet, but most of them want to be the KINGS, mostly KLANS in all groups. No different here, Mark!

They are also not liked by ISPs, who can't work out a way to make large
profits out of them, as they find it hard to push adverts.

All web based message interchanges, especially the free ones, have a
large, profitable for the ISP, advertising content, which is a b*tch to
filter out. If you are not the customer, you are the product, and it's
hard to make usenet users into products.

Usenet stinks for file sharing, etc.. Even EasyNews offered a web based
version of Usenet. I thought that was illegal, since THEY are
instrumental in the file sharing.

Anyone can legally write a web based interface to usenet, all they need
to do is scrape a newsfeed of a few peers. There are even scripts to do
so somewhere on the web, if you look hard enough. One of the best
examples of this is Google Groups, though they do, at least, attempt to
keep a decent archive.

Usenet was originally set up as a better, faster, version of the early
dial up bulletin boards, and still works with 7 bit ASCII as the actual
message transmission medium, translated to and from 8 bit at the servers.

The original specification expected people to post links to files on
their servers in order to share, and the binary groups came later as an
attempt to get round having to run your own permanently connected file
server.

True, but who had time to join files and even learn how to use software to do it.

When files sharing web based sites gained popularity, even half owner (nickname Godzilla) of Easynews sold when he could.

I am amazed at how quickly Mike gets these things up. I haven't even
unpacked my laundry by the time Mike has the full report on the web.
Look for my report in a couple weeks; the photos are in the tank right
now and should be scanned tomorrow.

It's because I have no life. But then, some people post photos right
from the show floor, though with little or no text to accompany them.

Besides, by getting my report up early, others who post reports can see
what I missed and post about other things (or the same things). I forgot
to check out the Waves Vinyl plug-in. It might not be very useful, but
it sure looked cool in the press release.

Thank you!

Sadly, I see that the "Best Butt in Show" entry was censored. I guess
someone just had to complain.

Well, you can tell us here who the best butt of the show was. I didn't
really see anything noteworthy. Some nice hair though.

Thanks Scott and Mike for your great reads !

Maybe one day they'll do a show in a venue with (relatively) good acoustics.

I heard their demo last year (or was it the year before) as part of their
demo of the M2 monitor. But the room acoustics were so horrible you couldn't
really tell anything.

The idea seems like a really good one, though.
