The Electronic Music Studio consists of two research laboratories STUDIO A & STUDIO B. They are recording studios with an emphasis on creation of electronic music. They differ only in size and monitoring systems; both laboratories are set up for 5.1 surround sound composition, mixing and listening. Each room has its own industry standard Yamaha O2R96V2 mixing console. Some of the main features of the board include 96kHz resolution, 72 motorized faders, customizable I/O, and surround mixing options.

EMS A is equipped with a Wurlitzer synthesizer and EMS B has a Korg Trinity. The computers in these studios are equipped with an assortment of software and plug-ins to meet your needs as a composer and engineer. In addition to all of the above mentioned capabilities, EMS A is connected to EMS B via microphone and headphone tie lines. EMS A can be used as the control room and EMS B as the tracking room for recording small ensembles, voiceovers, or music samples.

Any member of the University community can be certified to use EMS A and B by taking a two-part training course. Please visit the Training section of our website for more information. For manuals, pictures and specifications for equipment in EMS A and B, please visit our CTools site.
