Bachelor of Science in Music Technology

The Music Technology program, leading to the B.S. degree, was established at UNCA in 1982. We have a wide array of analog and digital recording equipment, including two Pro Tools HD recording systems with 96 I/O interfaces, 15 Pro Tools LE systems with Digi003, 002, and M-Box interfaces, and 16 and 24 track 1" multi-track analog tape machines. In our main studio control room, we are installing the newly developed SSL AWS 900+ recording and mixing console. This professional hybrid analog console also functions as a digital control surface for one of our Pro Tools HD systems. We have an electronic music lab fully-outfitted with gear invented and built by electronic music pioneer (and former UNCA Music Professor) Dr. Bob Moog. Courses are taught in UNCA's recording studio, our 5.1 surround sound mixing/editing/mastering studio, and our 14-station electronic keyboard classroom.
