The new facility includes three identically kitted out broadcast studios, using Soundcraft mixing consoles - these house the College's 'Synergy FM' radio station, operating with an RSL over a restricted ten-mile radius. Meanwhile, on the top floor, two high-end studios for recording and mixing and a flagship commercial studio still to be specified will join four heavily-used project studios (also equipped with Soundcraft). All support a wide range of industry standard software, available on both Mac and PC.
Dabrowski contacted Peter Knowles, managing director of Total Audio Solutions, who had earlier built and equipped various music and radio studios at the college's previous facility, located in Tile Hill.
"The contract had to go out to tender," says Dabrowski, "and Total Audio beat everyone else's prices hands down. Peter Knowles is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and affordable, and is always a pleasure to work with."
