About the Audio Studios

In addition to an audio classroom equipped with a 5.1 surround system, the UVU Digital Audio Production program is proud to offer students four unique spaces for recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and restoring audio. These spaces are not only used as classrooms but serve as creative environments where students explore professional audio, work on projects, and build their personal portfolios.

Studio A (LC 311)

The Studio A control room features a 48-channel SSL Duality SE console and a large collection of industry standard outboard gear from manufacturers such as Rupert Neve, Universal Audio, Empirical Labs, Maag Audio, Lexicon, API, and more.

The live room features a grand piano, drum set, and an Aviom A320 headphone system for multiple custom mixes. Students can also customize the sound of the environment with custom-built acoustic curtains.

Studio B (LC 309/310)

Studio B is an intimate space built for Foley, ADR/voiceover, sound design, and podcasts. It has thick walls and lots of absorption for a very quiet, controlled acoustic environment. The control room features a 16-channel Audient ASP-4816 in-line console with several additional outboard preamps and tie lines to Studio A.
It comes equipped with a 6-surface Foley pit and a variety of Foley props, along with an 85-inch TV to help sync the performance to picture.

Studio D (CS 622)

Designed as a small mixing and editing suite, Studio D is undergoing significant changes and is currently closed. Check back soon for more details!

Audio Restoration and Forensics Station (CS 623)

Located at the back of the primary audio classroom, the audio restoration and forensics station is equipped with the state-of-the-art CEDAR Audio ‘Silent I’ restoration system. Featuring software and plug-ins used by countless government agencies, militaries, and national archival libraries, this station is specifically designed for audio forensic analysis and for bringing damaged, historical audio back to life.
