CARA, the Center for Audio Recording Arts, is a complex of recording studios, post-production suites, computer music laboratories and offices located on the Eleventh Floor of the historic Standard Building in the the new home of the School of Music at Georgia State University. CARA serves the research, teaching and service goals of the School of Music and the College of Arts and Sciences and is under the direction of Dr. Robert Scott Thompson.
The first phase of construction and equipment installation was completed in September of 1996. Currently, three control rooms and one Computer Music/MIDI studio and in full operation. The facility, designed by Walters-Storyk of New York, is distinctive as a site for faculty research, interdisciplinary study, technical training, education and artistic product development and is unique on the Georgia State University campus.
Studio A is a 24-track all-digital recording environment based on the TASCAM DA-88 MDM and the Yamaha 02R Digital Console. It also contains a dedicated DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) by Micro Technology Unlimited (the MicroSound) which has gigabytes of sound storage, comprehensive software for sound analysis, synthesis and modification, and CD recording capability. Studio B is quite similar to Studio A, the main differences being physical size (Studio B is smaller) and the recording console; Studio B is based around a TASCAM M3700 32x8 Recording Console with VCA Automation. Studio B also supports 24-track digital recording and has an identical MicroSound DAW for CD mastering and related research. Studio C is a 16-track digital recording studio based around the Mackie 24x8 Recording Console. Studio M is a computer music, MIDI, composition and teaching studio based upon the Pentium IV and Mac G4 microcomputers. It contains a variety of MIDI synthesis engines and associated signal processing and recording tools.

Computer Music Bibliography
There is a bibliography on synthesizers, midi, computer and electronic music that I have collected from various sources. I have tried to bring some structure into it, but not all books will fit into a single subject. NOTE: I haven't read these books, and the comments are from other people.
