The Department of Recording Industry has over 1200 majors across three concentrations and an M.F.A. in Recording Arts and Technologies. This Discipline Specific TAF proposal seeks to meet two primary goals of the department: 1) repurposing of Comm 180 for graduate and undergraduate courses and 2) replacement of all RI audio production workstation computers. Repurposing of Comm 180 will facilitate graduate and undergraduate discipline specific courses in mixing, critical listening, musicianship, and audio technology impacting over 250 students per semester. The renovation of this space will also allow the department to increase enrollments in the M.F.A. program. Growth of Masters programs is part of the University Master plan. The computer replacement portion of the proposal will replace approximately 30 computers across the department directly impacting approximately 500 students per semester. These machines are over five years old and beyond the scheduled replacement date. A portion of the hardware costs are covered through the TAF scheduled replacement category. These machines are used for discipline specific production and are beyond the specifications of a typical student computer. This budget proposal will fund the hardware costs not covered by scheduled replacement as well as hardware peripherals required for audio production. Replacement of the hardware requires a number of software upgrades that are included in the proposal. These upgrades will help to keep the department current with industry.
