Discover the newest industry technology housed in our stunning tech labs
Edit, enhance and perfect your music in our dedicated technology suites. Fully fitted with over 150 super-powerful iMacs containing all the very latest DAWs and plugins, every workstation is equipped with audio input and controller keyboards. Tech suites can be found at both of our campuses and are accessible to ICMP students seven days a week, up to 11pm on weekdays.
Upload, Store and Share
All the tech in the world is no good without somewhere to store your files. That’s why every ICMP student will get their own free subscription to MS Office 365, which provides them with up to 1TB of cloud storage. And it goes without saying that all our buildings are equipped with unlimited superfast WiFi for speedy uploading and file sharing.
Brush Up on Your Music Knowledge
Though our tech labs are the ideal place to make music, they’re also great for academic-related work and general use, whether that’s studying, researching, cooking up a music business proposal, or writing an essay or two. With so many machines available, there's always a quiet space on offer.
Our Extensive range of Kit
Whether you’re toying with ideas or already putting tracks together, you can freely experiment, edit and mix with an impressive range of tech. Industry titans like Ableton, Pro Tools and Logic Pro X give you all the tools you need to compose, record and master your sound, while Audient helps you get to grips with sound engineering for simple, yet powerful, audio capture.
