Key facts

In this Audio-Radio Production program at the State University of New York Plattsburgh, you get to develop your audio-production abilities in multiple arenas. Good audio is critical for radio, television, film, digital media, music recording and the internet. You can focus your efforts in any or all of these areas. Many students join the ATI Production team as a part of CMM 408, the field recording practicum. These students develop music recording expertise by recording various musical concerts that are held on campus. Working in teams, students capture and post-produce CDs for area music directors.

Other students work closely with PSTV as audio specialists. And more opportunities exist for students interested in digital audio archival. Working in conjunction with SUNY Plattsburgh’s Special Collections and College Archives libraries, students capture, archive and preserve recordings in a variety of different audio formats.
