Students not enrolled in these courses may use the lab during open hours:
- Monday & Wednesdays: 5-7 p.m.
- Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: 3-7 p.m.
Students using the lab will need to supply their own headphones with 1/4” jacks. Students using the lab to work on projects need to bring in their own CD-RWs to save their work. The staff cannot be responsible for projects that are mistakenly erased or deleted.
About the Lab
Our newly refurbished MIDI lab has 21 brand new Yamaha Pianos and 21 iMac G4 computers. It also has 12 work stations augmented for audio production projects, with six Pro Tools stations and six Digital Performer stations, each with digital audio interfaces (M Boxes and MOTU 828’s) and new Roland XV 2020 Synthesizer modules.
Not only is the new technology state of the art, but the flexibility of the audio workstations enables students to work on a variety of professional quality projects, the only limits being the imagination and skills of the user.
These stations are excellent learning environments for students working on their part-writing assignments in first and second year theory and for practicing related ear-training skills with either Practica Musica ear-training software or with Finale composition software.
