Music Technology

The University of South Carolina boasts music technology facilities that are among the finest in the nation. Two large, sound-proof, dedicated computer music studios house state-of-the-art audio hardware and software. In addition, our Music Technology Center (MTC), featuring 18 high-end music workstations, serves as both a classroom and lab facility for all music students. Composers may explore a variety of specialized projects using a wide range of hardware and software. Students may study both commercial applications of MIDI and audio technology, as well as more advanced technological applications such as digital audio signal processing, real-time interactive music composition/performance, and algorithmic composition.
