About Us
Our Studio Technicians are responsible for providing day-to-day technical support for all Recording Studios and Mixing Rooms throughout the Conservatoire.
For equipment and technical enquiries, please go to the Studio Counter where you will find our team of Studio Technicians. They will be your first point of call and will provide technical support where necessary or direct you to the relevant people. The Studio Counter is also where you will take out room keys and any equipment you need for your session.
Should you encounter any technical issues or faults with the studios please inform the technician at the Counter who will assist you where possible and log the fault. If there is not a technician available, please email a description of the problem to musicproductionresources@lcm.ac.uk.
