REI is set up in Long Island with the latest digital recording studio equipment as well as vintage and current analog equipment that will support a wide range of knowledge base and prepare students with the tools needed for mainstream recording.
The Midi suite is where the student will have the ability to learn and work with the tools of the trade of a midi engineer. This student will have lecture classes in Long Island which will be followed up with a hands on experience with the computer, software, drum machine or any other piece or recording studio equipment that was covered. This room is stocked with Macintosh and PC computers. The student will work with Cubase, Reason, an array of both software and hardware synths.
Control Room A incorporates an AMR 1600 Vinage Analog Mixing Console 32 x 16. This board features 4 effect sends; 4 aux sends; and a full 4 band parametric equalizer. There are shelving equalizers for the buss monitors as well. The control room has a full array of recording studio equipment, including vintage analog and digital effects, an 8 track analog tape recorder, Stereo Studer Master Mix machine, and a 24 track Studio A80 Master Recorder and Pro Tools 11.
Control Room B has a vintage Soundtracs Solitaire 32 x 24 inline analog control with Pro Tools 11. This is a very rare, outstanding console with full automation. Along with all the digital outboard effects, we have an 8 track analog tape machine as well. The Solitaire console was the premier console of the Soundtracs line.
