If you've been following our few past newsletters, it's no secret that the Conservatory has launched a second location. The new 25,000-sq. ft. facility in Gilbert, AZ opened for class back on November 3, 2003 and 24 new students have eagerly started every three weeks since then. As the new location ramps up to speed, new rooms come online and just recently, Studio C and the 6,000-sq. ft. live sound classroom were commissioned for operation.
Studio B centers around a 48-channel Neve VR console featuring Flying Faders automation. The control room features gear from TC Electronic, Alesis, Unversal Audio, Tannoy, Hafler, Manley Labs and more. Like each studio at the Conservatory, the room sports an analog two-inch 24-track recorder and an Alesis HD24 24-track hard disc recorder. The large studio is approximately 1500-sq. ft. and has an 18 ft. ceiling. The room includes a large iso booth giving students the opportunity to record and isolate various instruments or groups of players at the same time.
The Live Sound Classroom is approximately 100x50 feet and features professional staging, lighting and curtains. The ceiling is a full 24 feet, giving the classroom the look, feel and sound of a mid-size professional venue. Live sound engineer Robert Scovill acted as a consultant during construction and Robert also wrote the curriculum taught by live sound instructors Keith Morris and Jim Bender. The gear in the room comes from such respected companies as Soundcraft, Klark Teknik, Community, Atlas and more. The room recently hosted the G5 Live! Project featured in Mix magazine (February 2004 issue).
