[section=Archival Recordings]
Archival recordings are stored on the Music Department J-Drive and on the archival drive in the recording studio annex.
To access recording on the J-Drive, paste this URL into your computer’s “Go to Server” dialog box: smb://groupj.wou.edu/groupj/music, then find the “Archival Recordings” folder. Recordings are sorted by year and term.
To access recordings in the recording studio annex, go to the annex and log onto the computer. Open the Archival Recordings drive. Recordings are sorted by year and term.
Archival recordings are unedited, unprocessed stereo recordings. Audio Production students are trained to edit and enhance recordings should they be hired to do so. Basic editing and processing can take up to an hour or more, depending on the extent of editing desired. Audio Production students may be paid for this work through Ensemble budgets.
Artists who perform on the Guest Artist Series or the Faculty Artist Series may request edited/enhanced copies.
