Studio 2
This control room accurately represents contemporary room-design
philosophies typical of the world's finest recording, critical-listening
and mixing studios. The floating-floor, Reflection Free Zone (RFZ)
control room's unique surface geometries were built using L.E.D.E.™
(Live End Dead End) and RPG™ acoustic design concepts to construct
the RFZ monitoring environment. The control room is 36m2 (390 sq.
ft.), while the accompanying multi-surfaced recording floor is 74m2
(800 sq. ft.). The room was designed to provide 24 track hard disk
recording and playback capability.

Currently the room is replete with industry-standard
technology and authentically typifies the union of professional
audio hardware with computer-based virtual studios. The equipment
complement currently includes a Mitsubishi 24 channel analogue
console, microphone pre-amps by Neve and Focusrite, Yamaha and
Tannoy monitors, a RADAR 24 hard disk recording system, a Pro
Tools 002 system, Sony APR-24 Analog Multitrack, Tascam DAT, HHB
CD-R recorder, and outboard processors by Neve, SSL, Eventide,
Focusrite, Bellari, Urei, Lexicon, DigiTech, and Yamaha.
Our microphone selection migrates throughout the
studio complex as needed, but the majority reside in the mic park
of the large (800 sq. ft.) recording floor of Studio 2. There
are typically dozens of mics available from such noted manufacturers
as Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG, Earthworks, Rode, Royer, Audio Technica,
Beyer Dynamic, and Electro Voice. This studio is also fully networked
with the other studios and accesses the internet via a high speed
DSL connection.
Studio 2 provides intensive lab support for the
majority of the principles discussed and demonstrated in the Recording
Technology course and definitively illustrates room design concepts
thoroughly discussed in the Acoustics course. Labs begin within
the first few weeks of the school year, with the room supporting
skill development in analogue and hard-disk recording and editing,
music instrument recording, radio spot production, mixing, signal
processing, and console automation. The student internship recording
and mixing sessions occur in this studio.
