ACS, in conjunction with the Department of Music, maintain 3 computing labs in Mandeville
along with various other resources for instructional computing.
For assistance within the labs,
you may contact the Instructor or TA for your course,
ACS Micro Support (Problem Form or E-mail userserv@ucsd.edu)
or if the problem relates to specialized music software or peripherals, contact
the Department of Music staff
(Repair Form or E-mail support@music.ucsd.edu),
3 Labs are supported (click the room to view ACS information):
- B-104 - Computer Music Instructional Laboratory (CMIL)
- B-108 - Digital Music Project Studio (DMPS)
- B-206 - Open Computing Laboratory (OCL)
This document describes the resources within the labs. In addition, you will find a binder
with documentation within each lab and a log book (which you can use to add notes about
lab problems or note changes in lab functionality).

The purpose of the 3 labs is to support course-work for Department of Music courses. This includes senior projects and graduate work.
In general, if you see software on a lab computer (in the /Applications folder on OSX or in the Programs menu on Windows XP), it should work just as it would on another other computer (or we will have documentation on how it is different in the lab). We rely on the users of the lab to report problems using the above Problem Form.
You must be enrolled in a course to obtain access to the rooms. Current or previous enrollment in technology courses or approval of one of the technology faculty is required for access to B-104 or B-108. Visit the Production Coordinator in Man 121 for access.
You will need an ACS account to access any of the ACS managed computers in the lab. For access to Department of Music computers, Contact your instructor or support@music.ucsd.edu.
For a more general overview of the the labs and studios see the Department of Music Facilities.

Multi-Channel audio output to speakers is supported on the B-108 G5, the B-104 Music Dept. G5, the B-104 Music Dept. Linux computers and the B-206 ACS presentation PC.
Stereo output to speakers is supported on the B-206 ACS G5.
The remainder of the B-206 computers have audio output via headphone jacks. Students are encouraged
to bring in their own headphones (the UCSD bookstore stocks several models).
Stereo playback capability (from laptops) is supported in B-104, B-108 and B-206. In addition,
B-104 has a firewire connection to the Rosetta interface which can be used for multi-channel playback from a laptop.
All Macintosh systems run Max/MSP 4.6. All computers run PD. All PCs run Matlab.
-
B-108 has a MIDI controller and outboard MIDI sound modules. In addition, the O2R mixer
supports HUI control of ProTools. Both of the B-206 presentation computers support MIDI
with a Yamaha SY-series keyboard. B-206 also has 6 workstations (either PC or Mac) with
MIDI in/out capability.
As for virtual synths and samplers, the B-206 presentation PC has Cubase SL. Two of the iMacs
have Logic Express 6. You will find Finale 2005 on all of the B206 Macintosh systems. Those Finale systems
with Yamaha keyboards support MIDI in/out as well as audio playback using the Quicktime or
Finale SoundFont instruments.
