Development of a digital photo-realistic audio console simulation as a learning/teaching tool
This paper details the development of a digital photo-realistic audio console simulation as an educational tool designed to facilitate remote access to campus-based analogue hardware. The author first developed a prototype as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate that it was possible to create a fully functional, photo-realistic digital console simulation using a single high-resolution photo of a physical console. The prototype then informed the development of two digital simulations, the SAE Audient ASP4816 and the SAE Mackie 1604VLZ4, that demonstrate the potential of digital photo-realistic console simulations as learning/teaching tools within audio engineering education.
