New Penn Street Campus

Solid State Logic SSL has been the professional industry standard for mixing consoles for the past forty years and have produced many of the chart-topping hits we've heard and continue to hear today. That's why we're adding two more sound engineering studios which feature SSL Duality Delta and SSL Origin mixing consoles. Each room will be equipped with Pro Tools HD, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Dolby Atmos immersive audio technology, Focusrite Rednet and a wide range of high-quality hardware including microphones, outboard gear and instruments, all carefully chosen to offer our students the best opportunities to hone their craft with industry standard equipment.

As well as our two new sound engineering studios, we are adding six brand new music production studios. Each space includes sixteen dedicated workstations complete with up-to-date hardware and software used by professional producers throughout the industry including Mac computers, MIDI keyboards, Push/Maschine controllers, high-quality soundcards and the best DAWs (Ableton Live, Logic Pro). This will allow students to work independently with their own equipment rather than sharing with others or watching demonstrations which is common in other music production institutions.

At either end of the Hub area, you'll find two dedicated singing studios designed to enhance vocal training and prepare students for real-world performances. Each room is equipped with a PA system, enabling students to develop their performing skills and techniques. The first room shares its stage with the communal Hub/club area. This unique setup effectively transforms the room into a backstage section allowing vocal performance students to experience the energy and atmosphere of a live performance environment. This will provide an authentic behind-the-scenes experience, familiarising students with the backstage dynamics of a professional music venue.
