Practice Studios
Our different practice studios
There are five additional studios available to music students located in Arts B and are known as ‘Practice Studios’. All five are equipped with a Yamaha upright piano and Mac workstation, and each has a host of bespoke equipment depending on the studio.
Guitar Studio (Arts B20)
Record guitars and reamplify sources through a hand-wired tube amplifier, and keep the volume down without losing tone using a combined soak and DI box.
DJ & Sampling Studio (Arts B22)
Play, sample and DJ real vinyl or digital files, with cueing and FX on modern turntables and mixer. Chop, arrange and process samples, compose and perform with the famous MPC workflow.
Practice Studio (Arts B27)
Record piano performances via MIDI, and practice piano duets, with an additional 88-key weighted electric piano.
Synth Studio (Arts B28)
Sculpt, compose and perform, with classic, modern and modular synthesisers, and control and sequence from the DAW.
Keyboard Studio (Arts B29)
Play and record a fully refurbished 70’s Mk1 Rhodes electric piano, through a vintage keyboard amplifier.
These studios must be pre-booked and are available 24/7 except for University closure days.
You can find more information about these spaces on their listings.
