    New York, NY, October 23, 2014 — Following the highly-successful 137th Audio Engineering Society Convention, which took place Thursday, October 9, 2014, through Sunday, October 12, 2014, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California, the AES is pleased to welcome new President Andres Mayo as he takes over the leadership role from Dr. Sean Olive. Mayo currently serves as Owner and Senior Mastering Engineer at Andres Mayo Mastering and Audio Post in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and, as an award-winning producer and engineer, he is set to guide the AES into the coming year and through AES138 in Warsaw, Poland and the Convention’s return to New York City for AES139 in the fall of 2015.   

    Mayo’s skills in the studio have earned him professional success and renown throughout the industry as an audio engineer and producer. He holds a Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering from the National Technology University (U.T.N.) in Argentina. Since 1991, Mayo has been a pioneer in the art of mastering, working for several facilities in Latin America as well as London, New York and Ludwigsburg, Germany. In 1994 Andres was co-founder of Mr. Master, the first pro mastering facility in Argentina, which later became “Andres Mayo Mastering and Audio Post,” boasting full 5.1 mixing and mastering capabilities.  With credits on over 2,000 albums, two GRAMMY® Awards as a producer and six Carlos Gardel Technical Excellence Awards, Mayo continues to set a high standard for the AES and for furthering professional audio advancements around the world.   

    Additionally, Mayo has served as the AES VP for Latin America for two consecutive terms, co-chairing more than 50 AES events in the region, including the first Latin American Conferences in 2007 (Buenos Aires), 2008 (Mexico) and 2009 (Sao Paulo), as well as the first Latin Producers Panel, in Spanish, at an international AES Convention (AES137).  Mayo has also served four years as Chair of the AES Argentina Section and still serves the Society as Vice Chairman of the Technical Committee for Recording Technology and Procedures (TC-RTP). Andres speaks fluent Spanish, English and Portuguese and has been invited as keynote speaker to more than 60 conferences held throughout Latin America, the U.S. and Canada. He has been presented with the AES Board of Governors Award (2009) and the AES Citation Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Latin American Professional Audio Community (2011).  

    Commenting on the recent AES137 Convention in Los Angeles, California, as well as his new role as President, Mayo states "I strongly feel that the recent L.A. Convention has been a resonant success in all aspects. With over 300 exhibitors and 350+ presentations, workshops, tutorials and papers, not only have we proved that the AES is alive and kicking, but also that there is absolutely no convention in the world that can provide the audience with such a high level of education in all aspects of Professional Audio. My special thanks to our Executive Director Bob Moses, Co-Chairs Michael MacDonald and Valerie Tyler, and an amazing team of over 50 people, for putting together the best AES Convention ever, and I look forward to serving as President as we expand the reach of the AES in the upcoming year."
