Once in 2 years from 2007, We had invited Tonmeister from Germany to give a special lecture about recording. In this year summer of 2018, NUA invited Professor Thorsten Weigelt of Tonmeister Course of the Berlin University of the Arts, who came to Japan for AES International Conference in Japan. In addition, this lecture was held as an open lecture, mainly for students but also audio companies and audio professionals and also as AES regular meeting.
