The Recording Studio in the UMKC Libraries’ third floor Digital Collaboration Studio is now open! The Recording Studio is an intimate space outfitted with audio and video recording equipment, perfect for creating oral history recordings, video projects for your class assignments, or podcast episodes.
The Recording Studio is part of the Digital Collaboration Studio – a collaborative effort between the UMKC Libraries and the Digital and Public Humanities initiative at UMKC. The space supports the use of digital primary source materials and artifacts for teaching, learning, and scholarship.
Recording Studio Capabilities
The Recording Studio includes a motorized video camera and an array of microphones to capture audio and video recordings, such as interviews for podcasts. It features an easy-to-use touch screen for quick and easy recording. Learn about the technologies available in the Recording Studio on the Digital Collaboration Studio webpage.
