Studio equipment
- The director is equipped with a digital mixer, audio controller, analog-to-digital converters and a number of peripheral devices such as dynamics processors, effects processors, players and MIDI controllers. Some of the functions of these devices are often implemented in the digital domain, directly in the computer program. It is possible to record up to 16 sources simultaneously in a recording session. This means that it is possible to record an entire musical ensemble in the laboratory. Mostly, however, the projects carried out involve sessions using one to three microphones simultaneously.
- Students have at their disposal more than a dozen microphones of various types. These range from classic dynamic microphones for recording musical instruments, to highly sensitive condenser microphones, to a set for miking a drum kit. Students in the Department of New Media Arts use the studio to record dubbing, voiceovers, musical instruments or special effects for their own film or animation productions.
- At the Department of Computer Science, the studio is used for signal evaluation and analysis, as well as for scientific research in music recommendation and speech recognition. In particular, many hours of recordings of Polish speech by diverse speakers allowed training an acoustic model capable of recognizing Polish speech and then converting it into orthographic notation.
