Audio Lab

The Audio Lab is made up of two interconnected spaces, the Recording Studio and Mixing Suite. Users must receive training in a course, workshop, or designated training session to be authorized to use these spaces.

Recording Studio (C118) The Recording Studio is an audio recording and video interview space with excellent acoustics. It consists of an interview and podcast recording table for recording up to four subjects at a time, capabilities for recording voice over for film, and for recording “black box” style video interviews of one or two subjects. Audio can be recorded directly to a mixer in the room, or to the computer system in the adjacent Mixing Suite.The Studio includes:

  • 4 Rode BroadCaster microphones connected to a circular podcasting table.
  • A Rodecaster Pro console recording the microphone signals.
  • Rode NT2-A and Neumann TLM 103 studio microphones for voice-over recording.
  • Cinematic LED light panels and spots mounted on a ceiling grid for lighting video interviews.

Mixing Suite (C119) The Suite features a single iMac Pro system dedicated specifically for audio mixing for projects including documentary films, podcasts, and audio installations. The Suite receives audio signals from the Recording Studio, which can be recorded into its system. Communication takes place via an audio intercom between the two rooms, and visually via a sound-proof glass window separating the two spaces.The Suite features:

  • An iMac Pro system equipped with Avid Pro Tools professional sound editing software, as well as Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • Avid S1 and Avid Dock mixing consoles.
  • A Presonus Studio 192 USB sound card.
  • 2 Genelec 8040 studio monitor speakers for monitoring sound.

Permission to use the lab is granted automatically to students who have completed the appropriate training in an audio production course, workshop or training session.  For more information on training options please contact the Audio Education Specialist, Thomas Aichinger, at aichingert@ceu.edu.
