Meeting held in September, 1994, at Triad Studio, Redmond, Wa.
Some 30+ AES members and guests came to Redmond, Washington's well known Triad Studio A for a September meeting on - another DAW!
After previous meetings on custom DAWs and Mac-based DAWs, this meeting focussed on a PC-based system from Spectral Synthesis. Spectral is a six year old pacific northwest company, based in nearby Woodinville, WA. A complete workstation was there, as well as other products, many of them opened for inspection. Chairs filled the main floor of the studio and several large computer monitors were set-up so that everyone could see the workstation demonstrations. Jeffrey Bruton of Spectral acted as Emcee, explaining the various aspects of the software and hardware designs. He was assisted by many members of the Spectral Synthesis staff who were also in attendance, including the VP of Engineering, Ted Wolfe. After a full evening, and many technical questions and answers, everyone was invited to a big Spectral open house/party on September 30, at their facility.
