Narrative

Studio A (AL-134) and Studio B (AL-188) are the main production and education facilities administered by the Commercial Music program within the Department of Music. These spaces are used for instruction, completion of student projects and for the production of albums and singles for the university’s record label, Hoot/Wisdom Recordings. These facilities contain integrated software/hardware digital audio workstations that need to stay up-to-date with industry standards. Students need to be fluent and skillful in the use of these systems and we need to be able to provide them with these tools for their own professional success and to remain competitive with other schools. 

Students enrolled in the following courses use both studios on a daily basis: Sound Recording I, Sound Recording II, Composing and Arranging Music for Television and Radio Commercials, Music Production, Music Composition for Film, Commercial Music Forum and Commercial Music Ensemble. Over 100 students in the Commercial Music program rely on these studios on a daily basis. In addition to these courses and the albums released through Hoot/Wisdom Recordings, the on-hold message for the university is recorded and edited in Studio A every year.
