SSL Consoles Dominate UK Education Installations SSL is the leading brand in commercial recording, we want our students to use the best equipment OXFORD, UK Solid State Logic consoles continue to dominate the educational market, with new installations happening at a quick pace. Music and multimedia focused establishments favour Duality SE and the AWS 948/924 Hybrid Console/Controllers, with broadcast educators selecting the C10 HD Compact Broadcast Console. As the world becomes more media hungry through the explosion of IPTV, streaming media, music download sites, broadcast events and social media interactions, educational institutions in the UK are keenly aware of the need for media production graduates in general, and audio in particular. SSL consoles are the educational tools of choice for beginning to advanced degree programs, providing an excellent platform for students looking to integrate DAW flexibility with traditional analogue routing, sonic shaping and quality sound.
Recent Installations Include:
University of Glamorgan, Pontypridd, Wales, UK The University of Glamorgan is a higher education establishment with a mission to prepare students for life in the music industry through the completion of three year and Masters degree programs. With the focus on production, engineering and sound design, the SSL Duality was a huge step for Glamorgan to give students industry standard equipment at the very top end of the scale on which to learn, practice, and record.
The Duality is simple to understand, yet its powerful and flexible nature means it is the perfect tool for students beginning their journey into the music sector, says Simon Cullen, Senior Technical Officer for Glamorgan. We always felt that SSL was the leading brand in the commercial recording industry, so we wanted our students to use the best equipment available to prepare them for the real world.
Academy of Contemporary Music, Guildford, UK:
The Academy of Contemporary Music, a three-building complex located in Guildford, UK with satellite academies in the United States, South Africa and Italy, has purchased a Duality console for its advanced degree program. The Duality room is the flagship studio for the franchise.
Duality is the best technology out there, it's the latest kit and that is what we need for our new studio, says Antony Greaves, head of audio production for the Academy of Contemporary Music. Duality is a combination of traditional analogue signal flow with DAW control, so we can offer all aspects of modern recording from one room. Because of Duality's analogue roots, we can teach the fundamentals of signal routing and that knowledge will apply to any console in the world, helping our students gain employment.
University of Westminster, Northwick Park, Middlesex, UK:
The coursework at the University of Westminster has been designed to meet the ever-increasing demand for high-quality practical and vocational training at a higher education level, to develop skills both as creative music makers and as music industry business entrepreneurs. The university offers both AWS 948 and Duality consoles as advanced teaching tools.
The Duality and AWS are used in many aspects of teaching from demonstrating audio production techniques through to surround sound mixing for post production, says Colm O'Rourke, studio manager for the University of Westminster. SSL's signature sound quality, industry standard design and reputation heavily influenced the decision to purchase both consoles. SSL offers the best consoles on the market to teach audio production.
Alchemea College, London:
Alchemea College is one of the world's leading creative media training colleges, specialising in full-time and short audio engineering, music production, live sound and video courses. The aim of the audio program is to give students a wide variety of skills to go out into the real world and be prepared for the different needs and challenges they will face.
Looking at the current available analogue consoles, Duality has really got the most exciting and advanced implementation of DAW control over any other console, says Neil Pickles, director of short courses for Alchemea. The other thing about the SSL brand is that I don't think they are going to stop building analogue consoles anytime soon. We have a long and successful history with our G Series and we believe Duality will last us well into the future.
Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), Cheshire, UK:
The MMU degree program offers students the practical skills necessary for three main areas: computer-generated imagery (CGI), pre and post-production of audio and video, and computer-based media. The SSL AWS 924 is used for the school's modern recording, and mixing programs to help students become familiar with analogue and digital media technology.
I have always been aware of the SSL sound and its legacy, says Dr. Jason Woolley, program leader for creative music production for MMU. I was particularly interested in the AWS because of its analog capabilities, the SSL sound, and the classic EQ types. Having the integration into modern day software like Pro Tools and Logic, which are an essential part of what we deliver here, was also invaluable.
Forth Valley College, Stirling Campus, Stirling, Scotland:
Forth Valley College provides courses that offer a focused foundation in the current techniques used in modern music making and sound production. Practical hands-on recording, sequencing and mixing workshops are supported by sessions on communication, business skills and the working of the creative industries.
We have two main studios in the building, both of which are equipped with an SSL AWS 924 console, says Colin McGeoch, lecturer in sound production for Forth Valley College. As a teaching tool, the AWS is fant
