Description

About the software:

The simulators are Max/Msp stand alone applications designed to help students and teachers to increase the efficiency of audio engineering classes through the use of generic and customized studio simulators.
The simulators focus on signal flow trying to emulate the main technical characteristics of popular equipment used in recording studios. These characteristics include full signal flow path assignments, monitoring, aux send, returns, nominal levels, meters, equalizers, and full interconnections between the typical studio devices.

The purpose of the simulators:

1) To prepare students before they go into the studio. Through our tutorials the students can learn everything about how to handle the equipment before they begin using studio time. The tutorials guide the students through the connections between tools, understanding signal flow, setting up the studio for different working scenarios (recording, post-production, etc.) or browsing through and experimenting with digital console pages. Since most studios impose restrictions on students' use and experimentation, this experience is a valuable resource.

2) To improve the efficiency of audiovisual classes. Audiovisual techniques can effectively be taught in the computer lab Using Sim-AV applications. Each student can follow the steps of the teacher on their own computer, at their own pace and level. It is also very helpful for students to be able to practice freely outside of class.
