Studio equipment
- The control room is equipped with a digital mixer, audio controller, analog-to-digital converters, and a range 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 within the computer software. It is possible to record up to 16 sources simultaneously in a recording session. This means that the laboratory can accommodate the recording of an entire musical band. However, most projects involve sessions using anywhere from one to 3 microphones simultaneously.
- Students have access to dozens of different types of microphones. Ranging from classic dynamic microphones for recording musical instruments, through highly sensitive condenser microphones, to a kit for miking a drum set. Students of the Faculty of New Media Arts use the studio for recording dubbing, voice-overs, musical instruments, or special effects for their own film productions or animations.
- At the Faculty of Computer Science, the studio is used for signal evaluation and analysis, as well as for scientific research in the area of music recommendation and speech recognition. In particular, hours of recordings of Polish speech from various speakers made it possible to train an acoustic model capable of recognizing Polish speech and then converting it into orthographic text.
