The ability for a student to successfully operate an analog mix console is a baseline skill. However, teaching these systems in an academic studio environment poses many difficult challenges including access to physical resources and teaching methods that facilitate interactive exploration of technical material. The objective of this research is to develop a virtual software simulation of the logic system and user interface of an analog console that provides students a way to learn and practice signal flow operations outside of the classroom. Initial anecdotal results have shown an increase in student understanding of analog systems and increased efficiency in coursework. Further research will pertain to development of various features of the simulator software and explore various ways this technology can be implemented in the traditional and distance-learning environment.
