For a half hour Stephen Roessner shares with students the practical lessons he\u2019s learned about how to properly arrange microphones\u2014in this case, in and around the Steinway baby grand piano in a brand-new recording studio at the University of Rochester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Grammy Award-winning recording engineer explains why the center rod of a microphone stand shouldn\u2019t touch the floor. (It will pick up vibrations from the piano.) How microphones inside the piano can be placed farther from where the hammers hit the strings. (It creates a warmer tone.) How to set up microphones away from the piano and aim them. (So they capture just the right amount of \u201croom sound.\u201d)<\/p>\n

And now he gives his audio and music engineering students some of the most important advice of all for recording a solo piano performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, if you put your time into placing the microphones in the right spots, you really won\u2019t have to do that much [adjusting] during the mixing,\u201d Roessner says. On the other hand, if you don\u2019t put that effort into the recording part, he says, \u201cdon\u2019t think you can fix it later in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n

A rapidly changing field<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The University\u2019s $3 million investment in a new state-of-the-art recording studio, control room, mixing rooms, and sound design lab is a major milestone for Rochester\u2019s audio and music engineering (AME) program, which is thriving in part because of the expertise that Roessner and other faculty members pass on to their students.<\/p>\n

Launched six years ago, the program gives students the skills they need to enter\u2014and keep up with\u2014the rapidly changing field of audio and sound engineering. Those skills are needed not only in the recording, film, podcasting, and broadcast industries, but by any company that incorporates music and sound effects in its product line\u2014for example, producers of consumer electronics (e.g. cell phones and smart speakers), home entertainment, and video games; manufacturers of professional audio equipment and musical instruments; and computer and Internet companies like Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program has grown more than we ever anticipated,\u201d says Mark Bocko, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.<\/p>\n

Eighty-three undergraduates are currently pursuing audio and music engineering as a major, with 22 expected to receive diplomas next spring. (Audio engineering concentrations are also pursued by master\u2019s and PhD students in electrical and computer engineering.)<\/p>\n

Another 43 undergraduates, from a range of majors including computer science, economics and business, mechanical engineering, music, and linguistics, have chosen audio and music engineering as a minor. And students from multiple disciplines pursue it as a cluster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why the success?<\/p>\n

The program offers students a major that allows them to pursue their passion for music and become engineers at the same time. Sanaa Finley<\/a> \u201923 was so excited at the prospect, she \u201ccouldn\u2019t wait to call my mom and tell her\u201d that she was changing her major to AME. Courses blend the \u201cfun stuff\u201d\u2014recording and sound design\u2014with \u201chighly technical and rigorous\u201d training in acoustics, electronics, digital signal processing, and software design: a combination that companies are looking for, Bocko says. Many of the program\u2019s 44 alumni are working at\u00a0 companies like Apple, Bose, Dolby Laboratories, Harman and Microsoft, but also at startups like Magic Leap.\u00a0The curriculum also puts an emphasis on hands-on projects that students can show to employers. Recent senior design projects, for example, have included a \u201cnovel electronic musical interface<\/a>\u201d, a software program that digitally recreates the distortions<\/a> of four-track cassette tape recorders for use as special effects, and a room that creates immersive sound with a 27-speaker array<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What graduates are saying<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe Audio and Music Engineering program was one of the best career decisions I made in my life. Not only does the program provide a well-rounded mix of creative and technical audio education, but each class provided me with the opportunity to apply the knowledge in an industry relevant project. This was a rocket launchpad for my career and I strongly recommend this program to any student interested in creating the future of sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Kedar Shashidhar \u201916 (BS), audio applications software engineer at Magic Leap<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AME program at University of Rochester equipped me with the necessary skills and hands-on experience I needed to achieve my goals and grow as an audio engineer.\u00a0 The program is quite flexible and offers diverse courses so I was able to better understand which audio career path would be best for me. The AME faculty go above and beyond to ensure every student\u2019s success. I highly recommend it to every aspiring audio engineer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Arani Sahana \u201916 (MS), acoustic test engineer at Amazon<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realize how well the AME program had prepared me until I started actually working in the audio industry. I felt at the top of my game from the first day. This program helped me turn my passion into a career, and I had a massive amount of fun along the way. AME is not just a class, but a family of people who love audio and the science behind it. I couldn\u2019t be prouder to be a graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theory and the practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The seven faculty members who work most closely with the students are well equipped to give them both a theoretical foundation and practical skills.<\/p>\n

Bocko and assistant professor Zhiyao Duan are the research faculty. Bocko, who plays bass on the side, studies spatial audio<\/a>, alternative loudspeaker technologies, and musical acoustics. Duan, who sings tenor, received a prestigious NSF CAREER award earlier this year. He is an expert in computer audition, music information retrieval<\/a>, multimedia, and AR\/VR. Duan is teaching a course on computer audition this fall.<\/p>\n

Ming-Lun Lee, an assistant professor (instructional track), has been with the program since it started. He has degrees in both electrical engineering and musicology\/music theory, and is an expert in audio programming and spatial audio recording. Lee has recorded more than 40 concerts with 3D audio microphones and 3D\/360 VR cameras at the Eastman School of Music<\/a>. He is also a choral director and baritone. This fall he\u2019s teaching courses on the evolution of sound recording and on audio software design.<\/p>\n

Michael Heilemann and Sarah Rose Smith, who were both recently appointed assistant professors (instructional track), received their PhDs at Rochester. Heilemann, an expert in audio acoustics and signal processing, is teaching an audio digital signal processing portfolio class and a senior design class this fall. Smith, whose research explores the reverberation of audio signals as they are reflected and absorbed within spaces, is teaching an introduction to audio and music engineering course and an acoustics portfolio class.<\/p>\n

The two senior lecturers\u2014Roessner, who is completing his PhD, and Rob LaVaque, a two-time NY Emmy award winning musician and audio engineer\u2014bring a wealth of professional experience to the classes they teach on recording and audio production, and on sound design, audio for gaming, and audio for visual media, respectively.<\/p>\n

Roessner has operated his own recording studio for nearly 20 years. He received his Grammy in 2010 as the recording engineer\/mixer on Messiaen: Livre Du Saint-Sacrement<\/em>. LaVaque, who runs his own company, Gravity Pool, created the audio and music for well-received University of Rochester Medical Center Super Bowl ads. Roessner and LaVaque are both accomplished musicians who have toured professionally.<\/p>\n

In their classes they stress that sound design and recording are as much art as science. And they emphasize the best practices they\u2019ve learned as professionals\u2014be it placement of a microphone or time management \u2014that will serve their students well in the workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve ever worked in audio before, you know exactly what he [Roessner] is saying, and then you can start relating to him, and at that point you really learn from him because you know you are on the same page with him,\u201d explained Alin Kenworthy \u201918 while taking Roessner\u2019s class on the art and technology of recording<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe constantly gives anecdotes about how all of this is applied in a real studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenworthy is now an associate audio systems engineer at Magic Leap.<\/p>\n

Other AME students go on to graduate school. Wells Award winner<\/a> Yiting Zhang \u201919 says the AME major was a \u201cperfect fit\u201d for her because of her interests in both engineering and music. She\u2019s played piano since age 7 and enjoys singing.<\/p>\n

In addition to her classwork, she spent a summer as a research fellow in Duan\u2019s lab, working on a system that retrieves sounds in a sound library by using vocal imitation. She continued working on the project into her senior year.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s now pursuing a master\u2019s of music technology degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

A \u2018signature\u2019 program<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This all began because Bocko wanted to create a \u201csignature program\u201d that would leverage Rochester\u2019s strengths in music and engineering. In 1995, he participated in the University\u2019s Bridging Fellowship<\/a> program, which allows faculty members to spend a semester as a student in a different part of the University. Bocko chose the renowned Eastman School of Music, where he studied music theory with Professor Dave Headlam.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the two became excited about the possibilities of offering digital audio and music engineering as that \u201csignature program.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beautiful thing about audio and music engineering is that the students who show up to study it are passionate about the subject matter,\u201d Bocko says.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve been teaching electrical engineering for 35 years, and I\u2019ve never seen an electrical engineering student get as excited about an oscilloscope as an audio student does about a state-of-the-art mixing console.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
