The Library has two Digital Audio Suites located on the first floor in the DMZ, rooms 1015G and 1015H. These rooms have equipment and software for sound and music editing and production.
If these suites are occupied, we recommend trying the digital studios in the Music Building or CMFT labs as alternatives. See list of open campus computer labs managed by CTS.
To use a Digital Audio Suite, you need to make a reservation in Roombook.
Make sure you check Roombook to see if someone else has booked the room, then create your reservation.
Follow these instructions for booking a room. It's the same process as booking a group study room; you'll just need to "search locations" for LIB 1015G and LIB 1015H instead of the group study rooms. Searching for "audio" will retrieve both rooms G and H.
Once your reservation request has been placed, you'll receive an email confirming your request (or denying it in the case of a scheduling conflict).
When you arrive at the Library, tell a Circulation Desk attendant that you have a reservation, and a library employee will unlock the Digital Audio Suite for you.
Guidelines for using the Digital Audio Suites:
- You may reserve a Digital Audio Suite for up to 3 hours at a time.
- We ask that you keep the door closed while you are using the room to reduce noise (both for you and your peers studying in the DMZ).
- Please alert a library staff member if the temperature in the room becomes too hot or cold.
- Finally, please recycle your trash and clean up before you leave so the room is in good shape for the next person!
Audio Equipment and Software Specifications:
The Digital Audio Suites each have a Mac Mini with 30-inch monitor, FURMAN M-8Lx (Power conditioner), Pro Tools HDX chassis, Clarett 4 Pre, MIDI Piano with pedal, and SONY headphones. Software includes: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Live, and Sibelius. Because these computers are meant for music production, they are not connected to a printer.
For questions about software, please contact CTS.
