 Attention: By using the electronic studio, you inherently agree to the Terms of Use!

This wiki is meant to help and assist you working with the hardware available in the electronic studio. If you have a problem, try the Help section below. The studio team always tries to improve the content, so if you have any remarks about things you'd like to see in here, let us know!

The electronic studio at TU Berlin is not a typical sound studio. It was designed as a research facility and experimental studio, thus differs in many ways from a conventional commercial music production studio. Although different multi-channel setups and very complex routings are possible, you'll also find straight-forward and standard compliant studio gear or software. Additional information regarding the studio's documentation can be found on github.

Help

Due to the high amount of technical possibilities at the electronic studio and the various users (and their differing needs) it is possible to run into problems with the hardware or software (or both).

Most issues arise because of improper use or reset of the studio hardware, or buggy software.

On the separate Help page you can find help for some of the known problems, that you might run into, when using the studio.
