ATC Showcase

On 5th Sept 2014, we have loan a few new equipment for everyone to use for production in the studio.

Item #1: ATC SCM25A

The speaker is designed to be positioned horizontally and it features a 7" paper-cone woofer, ATC's ubiquitous 3" midrange dome and a 1" soft-dome tweeter - all hand-made. The tri-amped with 235watts each. The crossover points are listed as 380Hz and 3.5kHz. with only a 0-3dB continuously-variable bass boost and 0-6 dB input attenuation trim.

ATC says that the SCM25As are well suited to broadcast applications and smaller control rooms, where some of the larger ATC monitors might not be appropriate. Accordingly, the dispersion is very tightly controlled, with a nominal 80 degrees horizontally and 10 degrees along the vertical axis, which ATC say makes for a wide sweet spot and an optimum balance of direct to reverberant

sound.

North Vista Secondary School Audio Production Workshop

An audio production workshop was conducted by the audio production program leader Justin Hegburg on the 5^th November, 2012 at Lasalle College of the Arts recording studio with students from the North Vista Secondary School.

This workshop aims to provide the secondary school students insights when working in a professional recording studio. It is also an opportunity for students to experience the state of the art recording studio facilities and it’s capabilities. At the end of the workshop, students will have a better understanding of how studio production happens and what they will learn studying in Lasalle.

During the two hours workshop, the students of performing arts are tasked to record a piece of music while all the secondary school students will have an opportunity to either run the session as producers or become a recording musician under the guidance of Justin. At the end of the workshop the secondary school students got a copy of the final rough mix of the recording.
