Students will have access to cutting-edge AVID, Apollo and Scarlett interfaces, plugins from Universal Audio, dozens of vintage outboard gear and over 50 different microphones. The goal of the program is to both educate but also allow student to explore and to create, design, manipulate, mix music as well as sound effect and dialog for post-production. Along with recording studio access, each student will use fully functional Mac computers with the latest software to ensure that students are knowledgeable of industry used tools.
