The Carnegie Mellon Recording Studio, designed by Gregg Vizza (Vizzacoustics) is set up like any professional recording studio: a control room plus live room, with one isolation booth for drums or spoken word or singer/rapper. One unique characteristic is the size of the control room, which is used for teaching and can seat about 25 students. The studio runs ProTools with (mainly) Waves plugins for mastering.

Computer Music Lab

The Computer Music Lab is a research facility in the new Gates-Hillman Complex, the home to the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. Another design by Gregg Vizza (Vizzacoustics), this facility includes computers, multichannel audio I/O, 8 Mackie 824 studio monitors, and a host of audio and MIDI gear.
