AES Student Blog

Teresa Kunz received a gold award at the AES Student Recording Competition in Budapest. Beside a perfect recording, Teresa provided the judges a detailed documentation, which she deepened during her presentation at the AES Convention. For this reason, the judges could get an idea not just what Teresa did, but also why Theresa made certain decisions during her recording.

You can look or even download her documentation here and get an impression of how you can approach your documentation.

Still, this is just one good example of many different ways to write a good documentation! This one worked perfectly for Teresa and we are sure you'll write one which works perfectly for you! 

Good luck with your entry for the SRC in San Francisco!  

The SRC for the next AES show is officially open as of this week - and here's another written report from a past finalist to help you get started: we've uploaded Marta Olko's documentation from the last Student Recording Competition in Budapest. Marta was too one of the participants who got one of the highest scores for her written report.

You can see it online or even download it from here.

By no means is this a template, and we do not encourage you to copy it - just take a look and get inspired.

More to come soon!

Love,

The SDA team.
