FACILITIES

Our facilities includes multiple rooms and areas for lessons, practise, assessments, and project work. Equipment and software available is extensive and upon request can be setup in different configurations prior to lessons & practice or project sessions. DJ, producer, remixer, and kids courses are all conducted in these areas with some crossover between areas depending on the course and what session you are doing.

*The following are the default assigned equipment/software to each area/room.

 

DJ ROOM 1 – PURPLE ROOM

Our prime DJ room, we always try to maintain a “club ready” setup here. Lighting is also key with LED lighting available to give it that right atmosphere when needed. A favourite with students for film / recording DJ sets in.

Our most versatile DJ room, it is here that custom or mobile all-in-one configurations are usually setup. With the extra space available it is also good for 3 or 4 deck mixing, live remixing/performance rigs, and laptop with midi-controller setups. With the full size windows to the trees outside (blockout blinds also installed), it can be a perfect daytime room to breath some fresh air into your sessions.

STUDIO 1 – GREY ROOM

The more cosy and raw of the two production studio rooms. There is a nice long table with plenty of room to bring out the hardware synths, setup a laptop, and get busy producing using the Ableton Push 3 and midi keyboards. With a few turntables in the room for sampling this is a great space to get the creative ideas flowing or lay down some rhythms and beats.  Also has a nice control room view into Studio 2 – Red Room.

CLASSROOM AREA 

The largest of all our areas. This creative space is furnished with long wooden high tables that can be configured based on the session requirements. Generally setup in a “U” shape around a long main front table for group sessions. Projector ready with overhead camera angles possible and a secondary display screen installed on stand. Students will eventually have lessons and assessments out in this area, even if not in a group scenario, as this gives you the chance to feel and hear your music in a larger setting. Not un-common for other students in the waiting area to easily catch a glimpse of a session or two before their own.
