The Audio
Technology Program currently maintains two fulltime recording
studios, with a third on the way, a Pro Tools editing suite,
a ten station computer lab for digital audio editing and music
production (MAC and PC based systems), an electronics laboratory
and an electronics workshop.
Studio
A, the main recording studio, consists of two rooms: a 418
square- foot session room with a 311
cubic-foot isolation booth, linked by audio snake and video
intercom to a newly-designed 202 square-foot control
room . This studio is additionally linked via digital
tielines with our electronic music studio.
