See you at the Melrose Center!

We have some exciting news! The Audio Studio at the Melrose Center is now open and available for booking. The studio is available seven days a week for bookings. The full audio studio includes access to Pro Tools 11 HD and the C|24 Control Surface to create professional recordings. Visit our website at tic.ocls.info/audio for a complete list of available equipment.

Prior to booking a studio, users are required to successfully complete a brief studio-specific assessment. The assessment will cover basic studio workflows, including: setting up microphones, signal routing, cue systems and setting up and saving a recording session using Pro Tools. Contact a library staff person at 407-835-7323 to schedule an assessment and for booking availability.

We look forward to hearing the amazing work you create at the Melrose Center.

Sincerely,

Melrose Center Staff

The Audio Studio Live Room is available for booking! The Live Room allows you to record in a large, acoustically-treated space and does not require extensive audio knowledge to produce a recording. In this room, you can record an MP3 stereo file directly to a USB drive using a Live Mixer. Recordings made in the Live Room do not provide a file that allows separate channel editing. A Live Room booking does not include access to the Control Room, the C24 Control Surface, or Pro Tools software. Access to the full studio is forthcoming, so please check back for updates.

If audio production is new to you, our audio equipment classes are a great place to start.

We’ve got exciting news to share this week—the stage area in the Video Production Studio is now available for booking! This area measures 29’x21’ and features a green wall running 29’x10’. After successfully completing a brief assessment, you’ll have access to this wonderful space, a Canon XF105 HD Camera, professional lighting, and Sennheiser microphones (Shotgun and Handheld). Sign up for the Video Studio: Stage Assessment and be one of the first to work in this great space. If video production is new to you, our video equipment classes are a great place to start.
