Overview

In the Loyola Marymount University's Recording Arts program you'll learn about the physical and psychoacoustic properties of sound; the techniques of making, editing and processing sound recordings; the aesthetic contribution of sound to media; and how to make technically competent recordings of music, as well as production and post-production sound for film and television media.

Key Features

We have a wide array of tools you need to practice your craft. Our 5.1 and 7.1 film mixing stages are equipped with both Avid C-24 and Avid S6 consoles and Genelec, JBL, or Meyer Sound speaker systems.
You’ll get real life experience working sound on film sets, using production sound equipment kept fully current with the industry, and producing live concerts on campus using our Digico SD9 digital console and Dynacord Cobra speaker system.
Mastering audio skills on state-of-the-art equipment is only part of the mix; the most essential learning takes place when you collaborate with your undergraduate and graduate peers amid the school's intensely creative environment.
