dBs Stuff
 

dBs Mission
We are in the business of sound and music technology education. It is our mission to provide an inspirational educational experience in a top class professional recording studio facility competing with the best in the country.


dBs Passion
We are passionate about what we do and we like to pass that on to our tutors and our students. As such we very much expect students to have a professional and responsible attitude to the courses.

the dBs experience
In short the experiences you will receive here are somewhat different to a conventional sound engineering college. The courses are based in a professional recording studio complex in the centre of Plymouth.

Hands on Music Technology
Too many music technology, sound engineering or music production courses don't allow the student enough access to the equipment itself. We pride ourselves on the level of hands on time our students get during their time with us.


A recording studio course...
Our music technology, music production and sound recording degrees are the result of a partnership between dBs as a commercial recording studio, City College Plymouth and the University of Plymouth as the academic awarding body.
