Ithaca College In New York Discovers New Workflow With Focusrite
ProSoundWeb: With more than 30 years of experience in the music recording industry, including working at the Hit Factory studios in NYC, Brian Dozoretz, as manager of Recording Services, oversees a team of 40 student employees, providing training on audio software and hardware. Additionally, he manages an archive of 70-plus years of concert recordings in various legacy formats. His professional roles span recording, mixing, mastering, producing, and studio management, and his work has involved collaborations with world-class artists, producers, and engineers on GRAMMY-winning projects.

Reading about Ithaca College’s new workflow upgrade with Focusrite’s RedNet series, I can't help but feel pretty excited about how this all comes together for both the students and the faculty.The college was dealing with outdated copper infrastructure for years, and it’s clear that moving to Dante networking was the right move. They’ve really modernized the whole setup, which not only solves connectivity issues but, surprisingly, also improves sound quality in a big way. I can totally see how that would be a game-changer, especially for a place that records hundreds of performances a year. What I find especially cool is how the setup doesn’t just enhance the practical side of recording; it’s really transforming the students’ experience too. The way Brian Dozoretz and Michael Caporizzo have integrated modern systems into the curriculum means that students get real-world, hands-on experience with the tools they’ll likely use in the industry. I love how they’re blending traditional analog recording with new tech like Dante and RedNet. It's the best of both worlds—learning how to work with classic analog gear while also getting exposure to cutting-edge digital workflows. It sounds like these students are getting an education that’s both grounded in the basics and forward-thinking, which is honestly the dream setup for anyone getting into audio engineering.
