Transcript

At SFA, students don’t just study music, they create it. One of those students is Margo, who’s taking full advantage of SFA’s sound recording technology program. With multiple industry-grade recording studios and connections to alumni making waves in their fields, SFA is shaping the future of the music industry. Margo, show us how you’re making sound waves at SFA.

– Thanks for the intro, Alex. Music has always been a big part of my life, both as a listener and a musician. SFA’s sound recording technology department has taught me so much, and my passion for creating music has grown even more while being here. Each class pushes my creative limits, while still being fun. With the recent renovation of our Griffith Fine Arts building, SFA has expanded underground to create state-of-the-art facilities for its cinematography sound stage, as well as studios and labs for its sound recording technology program, which offers both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Our facilities include both a fully analog studio and a fully digital studio, allowing us to work in any studio environment. In addition to learning Dolby Atmos mixing and production. SFA is one of the few programs in the country that features a Dolby Atmos speaker system in both our studio and lab. We are undoubtedly the leading program in Texas, equipped with advanced technology, and we are on track to become the only tier-one Dolby-accredited School of Music in the state. With near 24/7 access to all of this, trust me, you won’t find this anywhere else. The facilities provide students with valuable opportunities to use equipment and collaborate with other musicians and engineers. Everyday access to this technology, combined with faculty who have worked for industry leaders like Capitol Records, has been instrumental in preparing me for my future as a mixing engineer. SFA’s sound recording technology program is among the best in the world for music recording and production education. I’m grateful for the collaboration opportunities and hands-on learning. My passion for music has only grown since joining. That’s all from me. Back to you, Alex.

Amazing, Margo. With world-class facilities and talented students like you, it’s clear SFA is a leader in music and recording technology. Your creativity is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.
