Main Stations
Computers
The MML has 13 main stations that are Mac Pro towers running OS X 10.7 with dual 2.8 GHz quad core processors, 12 GB of Ram, and 16x burning speed double layer superdrive.
Peripherals

Outside of the MML
Non-Linear Editing Suites
The three Non-Linear Editing suites are the same basic set up as the main MML stations.
- They are in their own rooms around the corner from the MML in L1522, L1524 and L1526.
- The Non-Linear suites require a proficiency for use which can be scheduled with the MML Intern.
- Once proficient students can schedule time and check out keys from Media Loan. * Each suite has larger speakers and an audio mixer connected connected to the computer's audio input.
Audio Mixing Benches
The Audio Mixing Benches are the introductory level audio facilities. Each lab has a mixer and a Mac Pro computer for digital audio editing. The software includes Peak for basic editing and Digital Performer and Pro Tools for multi-track production.
The computers have DVD/CD burning drives for backing up files and making audio CDs. The labs also have a cassette deck, a mini disc deck, turntable, and a VHS deck and monitor. Umbilicals and a patch bay make it possible to patch in additional equipment.
The Mixing Benches do require a proficiency test. Sign up at the Electronic Media Desk, L1501, or call (360) 867-6270. Students can schedule time and checkout keys from Media Loan.
Animation Labs
There are two 2D labs, a 3D lab and an Oxberry lab. Specific information is available at the Animation website. Users that need a significant amount of time must submit a Media Request Form within the first two weeks of the quarter and get time allocations from animation staff. During summer quarter the appropriate lab fee must be paid.
