Located in the basement level of Howe Library, the Multimedia Recording Studio has everything you need to easily make high-quality audio and video recordings.

Things to know:

  • The studio is available for all students, faculty, and staff
  • Record audio or video interviews using high-quality equipment to produce great sound and visual (think: voiceovers, narrations, podcasts, interviews, photography, and video staging)
  • Achieve different configurations with drop cloths, green screens, and light kits
  • Record isolated audio tracks in a sound-proof environment
  • Take photographs in a controlled environment, with lighting and equipment support
  • Coming later this spring! We will continue to add to the recording studio’s offerings including setups for virtual reality (for gaming, CAD design, 3D imaging, and many other applications).
