The Rice Philharmonics are Rice’s oldest a’capella group and this year is their 20th Anniversary. Every few years the group records a CD, and this time instead of having to pay and utilize an off-campus studio, the group used DMC Audio Studio.

User’s Comments: “…we love the central location of the DMC for our students, the sound-proof walls, convenient outlets, and the ease of rearranging the room for our purposes. Also, the fact that we can reserve the studio and know that no one will disturb us is very nice...” – Juan Sebastian Cruz
