USA Full Sail University has invested in 13 Audient ASP8024 desks in its Recording Arts department. 12 24-channel Audient consoles have been installed in what is known as the Analogue Mix Lab and the thirteenth is set up in the lecture room.

Greg Griffith, sound foundations course director at Full Sail University, reports, "Each station, including the one in the lecture room has a full patchbay, is loaded with time-based and dynamics processors and a hard disk based multi-track, enabling class demonstrations to be shown on the same equipment that the students will use in the lab."

Eric Abraham, console department chair at Full Sail University, says, "The ASP8024 consoles are being used in the Sound Foundations course, which is the first course in which the students get to deal with a true inline recording console. The students learn signal flow and the recording chain on these consoles; their straight-forward design makes understanding how the audio gets from one point to another in the process easy and quick to learn.

"The transparent sound quality of the console makes teaching other aspects such as compression, effects processing and mixing a lot easier as well, because the students can really hear the differences without the console getting in the way."This sale was organised by pro audio outlet, Alto Elite based in Middletown, NY and facilitated by Audient's US distributor, CW Sales & Marketing.
