Originally designed as the Composition programs Electronic Music lab this space houses 10 brand new Intel iMacs with 20" monitors which each have their own Digidesign MBox 2 audio and MIDI convertor. The stations are primarily utilized by the Music Industry Studies and Composition majors for preproduction, postproduction, arranging and compositional efforts. All students within the Hayes School of Music have access to the facility to work on ear training, Finale assignments for any of the theory courses, drill design for marching bands as well as general class work. The facility opens around 8am Monday through Friday and closes no earlier than 9pm every evening. All stations are connected to the internet as well as a networked printer where prepaid print cards may be used. Each station is on a network build and as such are identical to each other. The software housed on each of the computers includes, but is not limited to, the following: ProTools LE, Finale, Reason, Logic Express, Microsoft Office, Adobe CS2, Garageband, iLife, and Drill Design.
The Lab has two isolation booths which house the last two of the ten stations allowing more isolation when recording or editing productions. Any individuals wishing to do work on a project here must bring their own flash, USB or firewire hard drive to work on as the computers are cleaned nightly of extraneous documents outside of the Documents folder on each station. All individuals are responsible for backing up their own work.
Funds generated from sessions for students, faculty and the general public help go towards the update, upkeep and general maintenance of the equipment and outboard processors necessary to maintain a high level recording facilty. A list of equipment is updated as frequently as possible and can be downloaded here. Any questions or concerns about particular listings or availability of different equipment can be directed to the Chief Recording Engineer, Mr. Scott Wynne.
