BLUE BELL, PA--Digital Audio Production is a popular area of study for many students at Montgomery County Community College. However, some students have had trouble when trying to transfer to another school.  Sometimes it gets messy because the major requires courses that are broken into a two-credit lecture and a one-credit lab.  Knowing this, Montco instructors decided, starting in the fall semester, to change the Digital Audio Production program to the Sound Recording Technology program, or SRT.

     Professor Morgan Betz, who teaches audio classes here at Montco, is very excited for the new SRT program.  Betz hopes that this will clear up issues with partner schools when students transfer to partner schools to continue their education. 

     Dom Coppa, who is currently taking digital audio classes at Montco, likes the change.  “The change to [the] SRT [program] will definitely simplify the transition to another school.”  After Montco, Dom is hoping to transfer to Temple University. Temple is a partner school and has a well-known audio production program. The new SRT program is designed to make it easier for all digital audio production students to transfer.

     Students in the Sound Recording Technology program can explore the life of audio producers and engineers by becoming joining the student club The Audio Producers, or TAP.  TAP is for students who enjoy producing music or other audio projects at a professional level. 


     For more TAP information, or to get involved, anyone interested can email Vince Tomas at vthomas7383@students.mc3.edu, Kevin Folk at kfolk7521@students.mc3.edu or speak to Professor Betz.
