Audio Production
Facilities
Overview
The CDIA Audio Production Department offers a wide range of facilities that provide students with the broad base of knowledge required for a career in the professional audio world. The facilities include two recording studios, two edit suites/mix studios, and both Macintosh and PC-based student labs. Studio D is a full-scale recording studio with 5.1 surround-sound capabilities, a large live room, and three isolation rooms. Designed by world-renowned Walters-Storyk Design Group, the studio is equipped with an Audient 8024 console and provides students with the opportunity to learn in an environment that parallels professional recording studios. Studio F is another full size recording studio, and it is equipped with the Yamaha DM2000, a digital console that provides a valuable contrast to the analogue Audient.
A vast array of audio equipment and software is available in all studios and labs including industry standard microphones, various pieces of outboard gear, and software including Digidesign ProTools, Propellerhead Reason, MOTU Digital Performer, Ableton Live, and Bias Peak Pro. Along with talented faculty and staff, exposure to such a diverse variety of audio tools will provide students with the experience needed to succeed in the audio industry.
