Silent Stage | Hall 11.0 C50

The Silent Stage will be implemented for the entire duration of the trade fair with three slots daily at 12:00, 15:00 and 16:00 hrs, on the last day of the trade fair only 12:00 and 15:00 hrs and a 30-minute programme in each case.
The live band P.A.C.E. will present the effect of a Silent Stage. Our Partner InEar presents its integrated solutions for the future of sound technology.

Advantages of Silent Stage

The focus of "Silent Stage" is on minimising the noise level on stage. This effect is achieved by using amp simulations, isolation boxes, drum cages and electronic musical instruments. The concept also works without monitoring speakers. The stage performers hear each other exclusively through in-ears and an individually adapted headphone mix.

Properly implemented, the visitor experiences in this way almost a sound experience like that of studio recordings.

The area offers an ideal platform where VDT members and other audio professionals can network with each other and with the exhibiting companies in the industry and find out the latest news.

Performance + Production Hub | Hall 11.0 E50

In cooperation with the Sample Music Festival.

The area offers creative input on the use of innovative sound tools. It bundles product presentations, demos, live performances and workshops with artists and experts from well-known brands - plus impressive live visual showcases.

The new „Performance + Production Hub“ additionally expands the offer to include forward-looking topics such as live remixing and looping, controllerism as well as the latest software and apps and shows the future of digital sound creation. At the centre of the concept is the combination of product experience, knowledge transfer and entertainment.

In an elaborately designed 3.000 sqm area directly in hall 11.0, top brands will present their innovations in areas such as mixers and controllers, digital audio workstations, samplers and sequencers, synthesizers, groove boxes and effects units as well as mobile DJ equipment.

Learn from the pros! In many workshops, you can further develop your skills in live remixing and looping, controllerism, music production, syntablism and beatmaking in exclusive training sessions.

In the Music Production Corner, software tools meet midi controllers and beat sequencers and the boundaries between studio production and live performance become blurred. There are also specialised education stations on topics such as field recording, motion sensors and live sound branding.
