The Audio Studio is a special recording room where you can record podcasts and interviews (and more!) with easy to use equipment and software.
Getting started
We offer online training through Canvas to teach you the minimum skills required to operate the Audio Studio System. After this online training, you can also do some hands-on training with a member of our staff. In that training, you will review basic principles and gain troubleshooting experience to avoid common recording failures.
To schedule the Audio Studio, use the Library's booking service website. Time slots are available in 30 minute intervals, with a maximum booking of two hours. If you need additional Audio Studio time, please email the MMC staff.
Tools
The Audio Studio has easy-to-use equipment specifically designed for creating podcasts and recording interviews. The RØDECaster™ Pro is a fully integrated podcast production studio including vocal microphones are designed for streamers, podcasters, and other content creators who need a versatile, easy-to-install, easy-to-adjust boom microphone setup. It also includes Audio-Technica M-Series professional monitor headphones to deliver accurate audio and outstanding comfort, perfect for long sessions in the studio and on the go.
You can record and edit using a 2019 27-inch iMac Retina 5K, which includes Adobe Audition, Audacity, and GarageBand. If you require anything else, please let our staff know.
