The purpose of the studios and lab 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 Mac OS X), 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. Visit the Production Coordinator in CPMC 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 TA.
For a more general overview of the the labs and studios see the Department of Music Facilities.
