"It's not often that I experience a business that performs so far beyond expectations that I'm truly amazed. WWS is such a place. I went there looking to update my audio system and ended up getting a real education in audio, meeting exceptional people doing what they're incredibly good at, and ending up with the sound system I always dreamed of having. Topped with a level of support that showed some people are really willing to bend over backwards to deliver on promises and dreams."
We have two regular podcast series. Physics World Weekly looks at the latest events and headlines in physics, as well as featuring short interviews with scientists and our team of journalists. Physics World Stories takes a more in-depth look at a topic that we feel warrants further coverage.
Physics World represents a key part of IOP Publishing's mission to communicate world-class research and innovation to the widest possible audience. The website forms part of the Physics World portfolio, a collection of online, digital and print information services for the global scientific community.
That was it. STUN off worked after I fixed the error. When I copied/pasted from the hello world page to create extensions.conf and pjsip.conf, the content pasted as one line and I had to restore the line feeds. I missed one and that was the cause.

If I were starting over again and needed to know how to become an audio engineer, here's what I would do: find an expert in my city and pay them to train me. And if I didn't know who in my city could help me or where to begin, I would go to soundgirls.org and sign up for a mentorship there.
The latest science says that the key to becoming an expert is diligent practice. Not just repetition, but focused action with the goal of improved performance. And how do you get that? Individualized training.
Schools are great, but the truth is that I could teach you how to do my job in a day. Of course, after only one day you wouldn't have enough information or experience to do the job really well, but you would know enough to get out there and start working. And as we all know, on the job is where the real learning happens.
So if I were starting all over again and wanted to know how to become an audio engineer, I would do whatever it took to get into the line of fire as quickly as possible. Inexperienced sound engineers always want to know how to operate X, Y, and Z digital console, but if you wait until you feel totally prepared you'll never get started. No matter how much I learn, some new problem or piece of hardware always shows up. The real skills that you need are quick problem solving and knowing how to find answers fast, skills that, again, you learn on the job. Usually through urgent phone calls to friends, colleagues, or mentors.
The first time I ever attended a Meyer Sound seminar with Bob McCarthy, I asked him if he would be my mentor. Not really. I didn't have the guts. I asked him how I could get a job designing and tuning sound systems. He said, "See that guy over there? That's Matthias. He's is going to fly to Macau next month, on his own money, to see me work on a system there. You could do something like that."
After that, I began calling Bob McCarthy my mentor, even though I never asked for his permission and we've never worked together. I just call him on the phone sometimes and ask him how to do math. He's a minor celebrity at this point. So I wonder how many other people out there are calling McCarthy their mentor? I guess it's part of the Choose Yourself economy. We should form some kind of support group.
If you can walk in the door with enthusiasm about what you want and ideas to barter, you are already way ahead of everyone else. I get lots of emails from people asking me for leads on work. They often don't know where, when, why, or what kind of work, so I have to pull all that information out of them. Then there are people who want to take my courses for free...period. No offer. No ideas. Usually just a sad story about how hard their life is.
I also work with a lot of students who don't take action. I've done about 135 career consultations over the last 3 years. In every one of them, I challenge the person to take some kind of action to move forward. Of those 135, only two have ever followed up with me about the actions they took. And right now I'm running a free business training course for audio engineers that includes 14 homework assignments that involve emailing me. Three people have emailed me.
But you won't do that, will you? You'll walk right up to that expert and look right in their big fat eyes and say, "I really want to work as a sound designer on fun, modern musicals like Rock of Ages, because I love the emotional power of audio. I want you to help me get there. I want to meet for one hour every week for two months. In exchange, I'll write a review of your book and post it on Amazon, Facebook, and LinkedIn."
And then you'll commit to taking action on whatever that expert says. The more energy you put into it, the more you'll get back. Next thing you know, they'll be referring you for gigs and buying you coffee. All because you listened to them and took action.
Don't be fooled. Unless you are seeing results, you are spinning your wheels. I can tell you for sure, if I was starting over again on how to become an audio engineer, I wouldn't spend years of my life reinventing the wheel. I would find an expert in my city, pay them to train me, and get results fast.

Can machines recording an audio-visual scene produce realistic, matching audio-visual experiences at novel positions and novel view directions? We answer it by studying a new task---real-world audio-visual scene synthesis---and a first-of-its-kind NeRF-based approach for multimodal learning. Concretely, given a video recording of an audio-visual scene, the task is to synthesize new videos with spatial audios along arbitrary novel camera trajectories in that scene. We propose an acoustic-aware audio generation module that integrates prior knowledge of audio propagation into NeRF, in which we implicitly associate audio generation with the 3D geometry and material properties of a visual environment. Furthermore, we present a coordinate transformation module that expresses a view direction relative to the sound source, enabling the model to learn sound source-centric acoustic fields. To facilitate the study of this new task, we collect a high-quality Real-World Audio-Visual Scene (RWAVS) dataset. We demonstrate the advantages of our method on this real-world dataset and the simulation-based SoundSpaces dataset.
The real-world audio-visual scene synthesis task is to generate visual frames and corresponding binaural audios for arbitrary camera trajectories. In this task, a static environment is given along with multiple observations of the environment. Each observation comprises the camera pose (p=(x,y,z,θ,φ)), the mono source audio clip (a_s), the recorded binaural audio (a_t), and the image (I). The objective is to synthesize a new binaural audio and a novel view based on a camera pose query and a source audio. It is important to note that the camera pose query is distinct from the camera poses in all observations.
To intuitively understand this task, consider the following video example: Given audio-visual observations captured from three different poses (1, 2, and 3), the task is to synthesize the visual image and the binaural audio for a new pose (4).
The pipeline of our method. Given the position (x,y,z) and viewing direction (θ,φ) of a listener, our method can render an image the listener would see and the corresponding binaural audio the listener would hear. Our model consists of V-NeRF, A-NeRF, and AV-Mapper. A-NeRF learns to generate acoustic masks, V-NeRF learns to generate visual frames, and AV-Mapper is optimized to integrate geometry and material information extracted from V-NeRF into A-NeRF.
Below, you will find videos showcasing our results on the RWAVS dataset. Each video includes the camera trajectory, sound source, audio levels of two channels, rendered visual frames, and rendered binaural audio. The camera trajectory is displayed in the top left corner, with blue triangles representing camera poses of training samples and red triangles representing novel poses. The sound source is shown both in the camera trajectory and in the rendered visual frames. To provide an intuitive understanding of the energy of the synthesized binaural audio, we visualize the energy levels of both the left and right channels in the bottom left corner. Our model exhibits three key characteristics, which are prominently highlighted in these videos:
Below, you will find videos displaying training samples from the RWAVS dataset, which encompasses diverse environments and a wide range of camera poses. We recorded videos in both indoor and outdoor environments, which we believe represent most daily settings. During data recording, we randomly moved around the environment while holding the device, allowing us to capture various acoustic and visual signals corresponding to different camera poses.
