16-Track Studio

During the Com Building remodel the 16-Track studio will be set up in a temporary facility.

The 16-Track is our advanced analog audio studio. This studio is based on an API 2488 console, Ampex MM1200 16-track 2″ tape machine along with digital recording capabilities. 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 “Advanced Audio Production” or the “Multi-track Composition” course. Students working on their own would have to spend at least one academic quarter working in the 8-track studios. Studio use is for academic work only.

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