Music Technology Lab and Classroom

LCC's Music Technology Lab is one of the most highly developed and integrated Music Technology Labs in the nation! Our students enjoy virtually unlimited lab time to work in the Music Technology Lab. The music technology courses can serve as a springboard into the newly designed Audio Engineering sequence of classes which is taught in the Recording Studio.

Through creative projects, students explore MIDI music production, audio recording and editing with an integrated software application, movie soundtrack creation and sync, mixing, digital effects, software plug-in signal processors and instruments, and the process of creating an individual creative project in a powerful Music Workstation.

Each of the Music Technology Lab's 21 Workstations include:

All stations are tied to the room monitors, so students can present audio work during class session. The Instructor's workstation provides a large screen display for student viewing of instructor's demonstrations. The room is outfitted with quality audio monitors and will be fitted for 5.1 sound at a later date.

All workstations are tied together with OSX gigabit server. As a result, student work can be easily transferred from workstation to workstation. Each workstation can also be tied to the Recording Studio for larger acoustic sessions!
