Keynote by Mark Ethier
Ethier is the co-founder and CEO of iZotope, an industry-leading audio technology company based in Cambridge, MA, which develops intelligent audio technology that helps musicians, music producers, and audio post engineers focus on their craft rather than the tech behind it. As a musician first himself, Mark infuses a musician-focused sensibility into iZotope’s approach to building musical tools – bringing forward important elements of traditional studio equipment while innovating on new digital capabilities. Under his leadership, iZotope continues to explore the boundaries of digital signal processing, tapping into modern technologies like machine learning, deep learning, and music information retrieval (MIR). This commitment is born from Ethier’s background at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a dual major in both Computer Science and Music. Ethier is a member of the Boston Committee for the New York Chapter of The Recording Academy® and the Audio Engineering Society, and also serves on the Board of Directors of The Record Co., a non-profit music incubator whose mission is to promote the Boston music scene.Workshop and Panel Discussion Highlights
