In year one, students are taught how to use the sound studios through practical assignments and projects. Today the first year music technology students recorded guitar and bass guitars over a computer backing track. This involved using DI boxes and microphones in the sound recording studios. The next step will be to record a live drum kit in place of the backing / guide track.
