Gavett Audio Studio

Students record, mix, master, and produce world-class recordings using the tools provided to them in the Gavett Audio Studio. Here, students participate in creating new art – never before heard music – which can be released for all to enjoy. Students learn the intricacies of working in a studio environment, from the joy of getting a good take, to the frustration of something not working quite right – but figuring out how to work through it in the moment.
