Audio & Music Production

Innovative music production training

Audio & Music Production at YSU provides students with the skills and hands-on experience needed to thrive in the industry. Using state-of-the-art equipment like the SSL Origin 32 Console, students gain practical experience in our recording studio and through inspiring courses like Live Sound Production, Studio Ear Training, and Digital Sound Production.

Students engage with the local community through internships at recording studios, schools, and other enterprises, applying their skills to real-world projects. Additional opportunities include the Dana Record Label, work-study positions, and a personalized capstone portfolio. With specialized training in Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) production and the ability to collaborate across industries, our graduates work in music production, film, gaming, podcasting, and live events.
