Berklee’s Boston campus provides a variety of state-of-the-art academic technology facilities, from individual lab stations to studios big enough to record a large ensemble or orchestra. The facilities are stocked with industry-standard equipment to support the technology-specific programs and concepts: recording, sound design, composition, immersive audio, interactive media, MIDI sequencing, music production, acoustics, digital audio, signal processing, multimedia production, computer programming, control systems, and more.
The various technology facilities are designed for teaching, with many rooms specialized for specific curriculums or technology needs. Students attend classes and follow up to complete their coursework and projects during studio and lab time. These spaces are open seven days a week, with the studios open 22 hours per day. The technology facilities offer students comprehensive firsthand experience with a wide range of professional equipment, and support various college needs, including classes, student time, visiting artist events, workshops, faculty recording grants, and special events.
Studios
Berklee's studios offer professional studio experience within an educational environment. The studios feature studio-classroom configurations optimized for effective teaching and professional-level production needs. The various production facilities offer multitrack digital and analog recording capability, automated mixdown, digital audio editing, video postproduction, multichannel surround mixing, and comprehensive signal processing equipment.
Production Suites
Berklee's production suites provide similar professional equipment to our studios in a more personal in-the-box environment. Like our larger studios, these rooms are acoustically designed for an optimal listening environment. The production suites offer ideal acoustic spaces for small recording needs, mixing, writing and preproduction, and sound design.
General Technology Labs
The general technology labs include a standard set of equipment that is consistent across the various labs. Many of these labs are also set up for laptop integration.
Advanced Technology Labs
The advanced labs provide a more specialized design than the general labs, and are used to support specific technology curriculums. Many of these rooms provide specialized hardware or software such as instrument or sample libraries, controllers, or editing workstations.
Specialized Technology Labs
Analog Synth Lab B51
TiNT
The specialized labs provide multi-station teaching spaces and equipment to support highly specialized technology-based curriculums.
Technology Classrooms
The technology classrooms are highly specialized to support specific technology curriculums. These classrooms can accommodate more students than our studios or technology labs, and provide some different options for lecture or hands-on learning for students.
Equipment
Berklee maintains an assortment of equipment for checkout, including microphones, controllers, synthesizers, and video and field recording kits. Inventory is regularly updated to provide current production tools.
