HENRY MANCINI STUDIO AND MUSIC MEDIA LAB
UCLA DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC

Music Media Lab

The Music Media Lab, Room B645, is used for piano instruction, ear training and music software training as part of Music Technology courses taught in the Music Department.

The lab contains seventeen computer equipped workstations with Alesis 12R mixers, Alesis 8.2 or 7.1 88 note or 76 note music keyboards, headphones and microphones and MIDI modules at some workstations. All nineteen workstations are connected to a 48 input mixer at the teacher’s station for monitoring of individual students either through headphones or through the speakers in the lab. A ceiling mounted computer-video projector allows projection of the teacher’s station computer, DVD, and VHS presentations.

Currently all or most Macintosh networked computer music workstations have music ear training software, MIDI sequencing, audio editing, music notation, web page design, and Microsoft Office installed. Apple’s Tiger O-X operating system Finale 2006 , Sibelius 4 , Garage Band 3, Logic Express 7, Practica Musica, and Microsoft Office are installed on all workstation computers in addition to other music media software.

Henry Mancini Studio

The Mancini Studio, Room 2646, serves as a composer¹s studio, a recording studio, and a high tech classroom.

Plans are underway to renovate the studio in early 2008. It was last updated in 1998. Fifty thousand dollars in funding will upgrade the studio, with a new layout of equipment as well as near field and theater surround speakers systems and a control surface mixing console. We will be upgrading to the complete Vienna Instruments sample library and purchasing additional East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Libraries. Our projection system will be replaed with a 1080P High Definition projector or large flat screen for display of computer and high definition DVD video images. We also plan on purchasing additional microphones and upgrading our Apple G5 comptuer to a four or eight Intel processor MacPro computer.
