Pro Gear.
Day One.
From your first day at CRAS, you’ll be on the gear — not just reading about it. Whether it’s music recording, live sound, broadcast, film/TV, or video game audio, you’ll train in fully equipped studios with the same tools the pros use.
You Train on the Boards Pros Use
Train on SSL 4000, SSL Origin, and API Legacy — the same consoles used in world-class studios.
Mix in Surround Sound
Dolby Atmos and dedicated mixing rooms let you hear audio move in real space.
Work in Pro Tools HD
Every studio runs Pro Tools HD, giving you hands-on experience in full production environments.
Hands-On with Outboard and Tape
Tape machines and outboard racks put signal flow in your hands, not just on a screen.
Run a Live Concert
Our 6,000 sq. ft. venue puts you in charge of concerts from setup to soundcheck to show.
Explore Every Side of Audio
Specialized labs for gaming, film, and broadcast give you practical experience across the entire industry.
Laptop recording package
As a CRAS student you receive a Laptop Recording Package included in the cost of education so you can take your studio with you wherever you go.
Finding Your Place
Moving out for school feels big — but it shouldn’t stop you from choosing the best education. CRAS connects you with trusted housing resources and guidance to make finding a place, relocating, and budgeting manageable.
Every beat you’ve made, every tutorial you’ve watched — that was step one. Step two is here: real gear, real studios, real training.
