L. Austin Weeks Computer Lab

The L. Austin Weeks computer lab consists of eight Pentium computers and one Macintosh. The lab has a variety of software packages installed, allowing the students to work on various projects involving the analysis and editing of sound and music files, creating web pages, designing loudspeakers and even digital video editing and sound effect creation.

Some of the computers are additionally set up to interface with digital signal processing (DSP) evaluation boards and codecs so that students can write DSP programs and then audition the results on live audio signals. All of the computers are equipped with Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge and other audio programs. Several of the computers are connected to the internet and the school intranet. This lab also serves as headquarters for the Weeks studio staff.

The Weeks Lab has two midi stations that consist of a Korg Triton Music Workstation / Sampler and Cakewalk's Sonar - Producer's Edition. Students work on projects combining MIDI music from the Korg and wave samples editted in Sound Forge.
