USMA Band hosts CME's Vibration Engineering Class

SFC Brandie Lane, a recording engineer for the West Point Band, conducted a vibro-acoustics laboratory experience cadets, linking several theoretical concepts discussed in class with their real-world implementation in acoustics and music performance. They learned how the science of vibration engineering is applied to the art of musical production and recording, as well as techniques for optimizing sound quality. Cadet Bill Waters volunteered to sing Bohemian Rhapsody, and SFC Lane demonstrated how to adjust the sound quality to improve the recording.
