Audio Production Program

Capture professional sound in British Columbia’s first Dolby Atmos-equipped studio.

This audio production program at LaSalle College Vancouver provides hands-on training in a facility built around an immersive audio system: British Columbia’s first Dolby Atmos studio. Students capture, mix, and master audio on Mac computer workstations using the same top industry-standard technologies employed by Netflix, Apple, Amazon (Spatial Audio), and leading music and film studios worldwide.

The program combines rigorous study of audio theory, industry practices, and hands-on production techniques with the latest version of professional recording software, from on-screen editing in a DAW app to online collaboration across studio networks.

Graduates earn a Diploma in Professional Recording Arts from LaSalle College Vancouver, prepared to produce and deliver broadcast-ready audio across the recording industry.
