COM 118 Advanced Multitrack Studio


The Advanced Multitrack Recording Studio in COM 118 is our advanced analog audio studio. This is adjacent to and connected with the COM 119 tracking room. This studio is based on a new Neve 5088 console, Ampex MM1200 16-track 2" tape machine, Universal Audio Apollo converters, and an Apple MacPro running ProTools 10 and Digital Performer 7. It also includes a wide selection of analog and digital signal processors. It has its own recording space including an isolation booth.

The proficiency for this studio is covered in either the Multi-track Composition or Advanced Audio Production course. Students working on their own would have to spend at least one academic quarter working in the 8-track studios. For more information contact Zena Vergara at (360) 867-5277 or the Audio intern at (360) 867-5848. Studio use is for academic work only.

Scheduling procedures and a list of available microphones are detailed in the Audio Studio policy handout.
