From CREATE Wiki
Welcome to the CREATE Wiki
CREATE, the Center for Research in Electronic Art Technology, is a part of the Music School at UC Santa Barbara.
This wiki is meant to be a resource not only for the CREATE community at UCSB but for the contemporary music community at large. You (yes, you!) are encouraged to sign up for an account and contribute to this resource - all contributions, from fixed spelling erors to complete tutorials, are appreciated!
CREATE has three studios on the UCSB campus. All three studios (Studio Varese, Xenakis, and Theremin) are located in the Music Building . Here you will find information regarding these studios, including how to gain access if you're a new studio user, the resources each studio has to offer, and instructions for the hardware and software.
Having troubles in one of the studios? This is also the place to report problems and get help.
The CREATE community hosts a quarterly contemporary music concert in Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall at UCSB featuring works by faculty, students, and the occasional guest composer. There are also smaller scale student run concerts in a variety of venues around campus. This section provides information about the equipment resources available for concerts and the setup procedure as well documentation of past CREATE concerts.
In addition to the hardware and software permanently installed in each studio, CREATE has equipment available for loan including a portable field recorder and a selection of microphones. This section lists all of the available equipment, downloadable user manuals and checkout procedure.
While we try and keep a complete collection of hardware and software user manuals, step-by-step tutorials are often much more useful for new users. Here you will find tutorials specific to our studios here on campus as well as links to more general instructions for getting started with software such as Pro Tools and Logic.
CREATE is part of the Music School and closely affiliated with the Media Arts & Technology Department at UCSB and, as such, classes offered by both of these groups often utilize CREATE resources. This section provides information specific to these classes.
Here you will find a calendar of upcoming concerts and lectures. Documentation of past events may be found in the Concerts section.
This is who we are, from faculty, staff, students, and guests we've hosted in the past. Are you a member of the CREATE community? Please make yourself an account and fill out a page!
