The facilities at dBs are without equal. In Year 1 you will mainly spend your time between the SX Suite, the Blue Room Studios and the Pod Studios. In the SX Suite you will complete projects on a Music IT workstation mainly using Cubase SX and Reason. In the Blue Room Studios you will work in a fully equipped recording studio with a maximum of 3 other students. In the Pod Studios you will work alone with your own 24 track studio setup. In Year 2 you will mainly spend your time between the Nuendo Suite, the Mac Suite and the dBs HQ Studios. In the Nuendo Suite you will complete projects using Nuendo, Reason, Wavelab and Ozone. In the Mac Suite you will work with the full Logic package and Pro Tools LE. Each of the 5 dBS HQ studios is equipped differently to allow students extensive experience of different environments. From a large scale Neve mixing desk with a Studer A800 2" 24 track through to an expanded HD3 Pro Tools rig with Pro Control. Three of these studios have full surround sound setups. Please visit the resources section of the site for more details about the equipment you will have available to you.
