 Students enrolled in the Music Engineering
program have access to two state of the art audio recording and production
facilities on the Coral Gables campus. The Frost School of Music's L. Austin
Weeks Center for Recording and Performance, was built at a cost of $1.6
million. This facility features the 150-seat Clarke Recital Hall, and a
fully professional recording studio with 48-input Euphonix S5 digital console,
and digital multitrack hard-disk recorders. The recording studio is specifically
designed for students performing tracking and mixing sessions. In addition,
this studio is adjacent to a computer laboratory with media workstations,
hard-disk editors and processors, and DSP prototyping boards. Disc recorders
let students take home Compact Discs and DVDs of their recitals and recording
projects. The Gusman studio is housed in the 600-seat Gusman Concert Hall. It contains a 5.1-channel surround sound professional recording studio with two Yamaha O2R digital consoles, and Pro Tools multitrack hard-disk recorders. In addition, this studio is equipped with time code synchronizers, and video recorders so that students studying film- and video-making can post music, effects and dialogue. Most Music Engineering majors also elect to serve as recording engineers for the Frost School of Music Recording Services. In both audio studios, from a technical standpoint, students are expected to participate fully in the design, installation, modification, and maintenance of both hardware and software systems. Extensive hands-on laboratories provide students with practical experience in real-life music engineering situations, providing both reinforcement of theoretical education, and practical skills.
