The AES 2025 Convention spotlights new audio gear, emerging ideas, and the energy driving innovation in music production and engineering. Exhibits and demos focus on tools, workflows, and trends across studio recording, mixing, and live sound, offering hands-on looks at hardware and software that shape modern sessions and inform the next wave of home and professional studio practices.

Native Instruments Kontakt functions as an industry‑standard software sampler for loading, playing, and shaping virtual instruments and sample libraries inside DAWs. Producers, composers, and sound designers use it for layered instruments, detailed articulations, and flexible effects routing, enabling realistic performances and custom sound design across genres and workflows in both home and professional studios.

Independent musicians build audiences on social platforms by optimizing profiles, posting consistently, using short‑form video, collaborating with creators, engaging fans in comments and DMs, and linking directly to new releases, pre‑saves, and mailing lists. Targeted ads, analytics, and platform‑native tools support release campaigns, helping convert attention into sustained fan relationships and measurable streaming growth.

AIR Music Tech introduces IONA, a software instrument inspired by the SH‑101 synthesizer. The virtual synth emphasizes classic analog‑style bass and lead tones with a modern workflow for DAW‑based production, giving producers and home studio users access to iconic monophonic textures with contemporary control and integration.
