Why people attend OIART
“For me, the biggest benefit of attending OIART was the access to world class instructors on a daily basis and their guidance on my future career. The small class sizes, 1 on 1 time with professors and their dedication to your projects really set OIART apart from other schools I researched. I feel like in this day and age technical skills can be learned in most courses/online/etc but the real life examples and assistance I got from my professors was what set my experience apart.”
Chris Masson (’12)
Engineer, Grayson Matthews Inc.
“OIART’s process in teaching and approaching technology and signal flow has given me the confidence to tackle any piece of gear I’ve run into since graduating. I feel like I could step into a plethora of industries and be a step ahead."
Tim Spence (’11)
Technical Producer, Corus Radio
“OIART has the most comprehensive audio course. It gave me a solid understanding of the fundamentals and gave a strong foundation to build on. OIART was very helpful and insightful on how to approach the initial years of my audio career. In addition, it has a strong alumni network, which is a great resource.”
Sohan Jagtap (’14)

We had past graduate Sam Van Geleuken @sam.vgel back at OIART for our first guest lecture of the 3rd semester 🤩
Sam did an amazing demonstration of her approach when using Lavalier mics 🎤 on location 🌎 recording for some of the biggest shows in Canada.
Students got to see the exact methods, technology and materials it takes to be on set for the sound department as they get ready to kick off careers in just a few months.
Big thanks to @vivianastraps for sponsoring this day with a wide variety of their location sound products.

OIART took a field trip 🚍to @thegrandlondon 🎭 to do more training with @rationalacoustics SMAART Software 🤓
Tuning a PA system is an integral part of our education here in the Live Sound & Event Production class where students learn how to use SMAART and making adjustments using our new @digico.official Quantum 225 Console.
Thank you to the Grand Theatre London and Oiart Grad Aaron Ouellette ‘10 and Paul Fujimoto-Pihl for hosting our students!
Our students are working through challenges and building their craft everyday in our studios. 3rd semester is off to a great start 🤘🥇🤘 and you definitely can money in this industry #oiart #yourfutureissound #dowhatyoulove #audioengineer #musicproduction

Sampling an Orchestra #oiart #yourfutureissound #orchestra
We had a blast getting to sample the UWO orchestra for content that will be incorporated in our Semester two Projects!
These students had to go above and beyond to create and build customs audio recording rigs that could be brought on stage and get up and running in less than 10 minutes. They were tasked with having a plan to sync each device using Timecode so we could mix everything in post production!
We took 4 @sounddevices Mix Pre 6’s and our 833 to capture various sections of the Orchestra.
Our BETSO Timecode Transceivers made sure we were all running in sync, and the student’s mic placement and technical knowledge was put to the test.
Give these students a round of applause 👏

Throwback to last week’s session when our very own OIART graduate @swampsongs brought his talented @sdssmusic_stratford class in to tour and experience our facility. The 4 piece band got to record a cover song in Studio 2, and everyone got to experience how to track live off the floor. We had a live interactive demonstration of how Foley is recorded as well in our Studio 5 Floor where the students got to try it for themselves!
If you’re an educator and would like to bring your class to our facilities, please contact us directly. 🤘🤘#oiart #audioengineer #audioeducation #audiostudent #throwback

Today we’re heading out with some of our amazing @sounddevices equipment to record the @westernumusic Symphony Orchestra.
The sampling and recordings are being used for our second semester project and these students had to apply their microphone, timecode, signal flow, gain structure and location sound skills to prepare for this recording session.
This scenario came with a unique challenge to get all recording kits prepped, built, up and on stage and ready to record within 10 minutes! Here’s some behind the scenes shots of their preparations befor the big day!
Wish them luck 🍀 in the comments! Who wants to hear the recordings???
Ever wonder how bombs and explosions are edited for films? It’s all about rhythm!

This photo was taken 27 years ago. The Neuman U87 has recorded a lot of music and voices between the OIART walls, since 1983 when OIART opened its doors 40 Years ago. No it’s not the same Mic 27 years later in picture 2, but the U87 has always been a staple in our mic locker. 🎙️Tell us in the comments what part of the school you want to see next!
