The Recording Academy publishes guidelines for producing hi-res audio, and a mysterious music production course has turned up on the web at a stunning 96% off…but where did it come from? I’m bringing you a few of the highlights from the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences awards last weekend, and sound engineers are experimenting with how object-based audio and personalization can help improve the listener experience, both at home, and at major events like the upcoming Winter Olympics in South Korea.

• The Recording Academy Producers & Engineering Wing issues new high-resolution recommendations for audio recording
• The Ultimate Music Production Bundle…but where does it come from? (via Mashable, The Daily Dot, and Geeky Gadgets)
• Highlights from the Society of Voice Arts & Sciences Awards 2017
• Orpheus project aims to improve lister experience by combining object-based audio and personalization
• How South Korea is gearing up to broadcast using immersive audio for the next Winter Olympics

This week’s topic for discussion is why you should prepare to pay for a good editor, and if you’re a podcaster, what you can do instead, if you can’t afford one.

Special offer this week: Adobe Creative Suite 20% off, was $49.99/mo, now $39.99/mo
