Projects/Podcast AV Studio: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:57, 2 December 2024

With a potential expansion of the Hacksburg facilities, one of the new rooms in the expansions has been decided to be a Podcast Recording Studio and AV Lab. This page is to assist in the design of said space.

Equipment Needed

Sound Proofing
- Option 1 - Full Room - If we want to do 2-4 recording
- Option 2 - Localization - If we want to do 1-2 recording

Computer
- Use one of the Torc donated ones. Need to get specs to see what upgrades needed.
- Or do we get a Mac?
Software
- Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) - If we add Video Podcast Capability - $0 (Open Source)
- Adobe Photoshop and Premier - $30 (Techsoup)

Audio Interface
- Scarlett 18i8 (Recommended by Josh's brother who is a sound engineer)
  - Barebones - $334.95
  - Bundle - comes with 4 25-foot mic cables - 424.99
  - Bundle - Software Suite, Bundle with Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone and Tripod Mic Stand with Telescoping Boom, Headphones, Pop Filter - $499.97
Mixer?
Headphones & Headphone Amp
Microphones, XLR Cables, Mic Stands/Boom Arms, Pop filters
- NO USB MICROPHONES
Cameras - if we want video podcast recording
Additional Lighting?

Furniture
- Desk for Computer
- Desk for Recording gear - size dependent # of people
- Chairs
  - 1 for computer desk
  - 1-4 for recording desk

Recording/Studio In Use Sign for outside the door

Room Reservation System

Since recording/editing takes time, we will need to implement some way where members can book the room.

Suggested Phases

Phase 1

In Phase 1, we build a barebones recording studio with the basics - no camera for video recording

Phase 2

In Phase 2, we add video capabilities
