Scoring Stage

Location: Melnitz 1410

The Scoring Stage is a multipurpose room used for audio recording and mixing and a teaching space for audio techniques. It features an Apple Mac Pro workstation that is dedicated to Pro Tools software only with a Digidesign Control 24 console and a Digideign Digi002 Factory Control Surface.

Due to the very large size of the studio, when not needed for audio recording and teaching purposes, the main floor is frequently booked for other class meetings, presentations, staff meetings, and student rehearsals or auditions. The Scoring Stage uses Stereo Monitoring in the small control room and a headphone box can be connected in the main studio to simultaneously provide talent with a stereo feed while maintaining a quiet space for recording. A quicktime movie allows picture to be played directly out of the computer and to the stage’s projection system.

Although the Scoring Stage can pack in a medium-sized orchestra, and is the home to a grand piano, this space is most often used for very simple ADR and Foley recording for student projects and classes. The control room and machine room of the Scoring Stage were completely refurbished with all new acoustical wall treatments, studio gear and wiring, and the space was re-opened to classes in January 2008.
