Welcome to the Ames Free Library Podcasting Studio! Whether you’re here to start production on a podcast, or just try out recording for the first time, everything you need to record audio is here and ready for you in the Podcasting Studio at Queset House. To access the Podcasting Studio, you will need to schedule your time using our online reservation system.
The Podcasting Studio features new microphones and mixing board attached to a dual-screen computer with audio and video editing software. For anyone looking to record video, there is also a green screen wall in the room. Patrons can use this studio to record and mix or edit podcasting or other voice recordings, music, and video clips. Instructions are available in the studio with the equipment.
If you’re experienced with audio recording equipment and have some of your own, we also invite you to bring it into the studio to better customize your experience.
Before you begin, please be sure you have a flash drive, or other means of transferring files to another device, as we cannot guarantee your files will be preserved on our iMac after your session ends. If you need to purchase a flash drive, please ask at the manager's office on the first floor of Queset House.
