Kansas City (June 2, 2016) - Kansas City Kansas Community College has been a proud owner of an Audient ASP8024
for over 6 years, a decision that Professor of Audio Recording &
Music Technology, Dr Ian Corbett still stands by, having seen hundreds
of students hone their audio engineering skills on the large format
analogue mixing console. The notion to add an iD22
to his teaching arsenal this year was born out of that trust in
Audient. Dr Corbett uses his new audio interface in his office to grade
assignments, as well as with his laptop, which he uses extensively
throughout the curriculum, at various places throughout the campus and
also when travelling and representing the college, presenting at
conferences and conventions.
He explains, "Tired of
carting around a full rack unit interface, or suffering the hums and
buzzes of the laptop's built-in audio output, the iD22 was a small
solution that also sounds better than the smaller 'budget' interfaces
available - particularly important when I'm giving a presentation on
audio quality! It also gives me the flexibility to be able to make great
sounding recordings directly into the computer, and get reliable
readings from a test mic when pinking or sweep-tone analyzing a room.
The fact that the iD22 can function as a playback device without
external power was an unexpected plus point and convenience."
"A curriculum with
extensive study and hands-on experience of the analog signal path,
promotes essential signal flow and troubleshooting skills that will
transfer to the widest variety of potential employment situations." - Dr
Ian Corbett
