Audient AP8024-HE Console Implemented At Heart Of Teaching Effort At 最新麻豆影音视频
Classes utilizing new console include Recording Arts, Sound Design (for Foley and VO) and Music Production, from which some 60 to 75 students will get their hands on it over the course of a year.
最新麻豆影音视频 (Saratoga, CA) recently implemented a new Audient ASP8024 Heritage Edition console in the school鈥檚 large studio space, where it鈥檚 at the heart of the educational effort for music/recording students.
Director of commercial music Jeff Forehan points out that the new console has made it easier to teach signal flow to his students: 鈥淭hey love it. Although they鈥檙e intimidated at first, with proper instruction they get it easily.鈥�
Comprising 48 channels as well as Dual Layer Control (DLC) for integration with DAW, the ASP8024 measures close to 3 meters (just under 10 feet) wide, so it might be imposing at first glance. Despite the size, it was actually the cost that was one of the driving factors in choosing Audient. 鈥淲e were able to get so much more bang for our buck, not only in terms of extra features on the desk, but also to purchase the outboard gear, monitors, etc.,鈥� Forehan notes. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also way less complicated than the other high-end professional desk we were considering.鈥�
The studio space, with high ceilings and adjustable acoustics, is large enough to record a full rhythm section, small choir or jazz band, all of which have been done. 鈥淭he room is shared with the video/film program so we have a green screen, great lighting as well as a collection of state-of-the-art cameras.鈥� he adds. 鈥淭he control room needs a facelift, but it鈥檚 large enough for 25 to 30 students to hang out in comfortably as I instruct.鈥�
The decision with the Audient has also been substantiated in another way, according to Forehan: 鈥淭he sound, for one, is an incredible improvement over what we had. The creative master section and built-in bus compressor are nice touches as well.鈥�
