The Recording Studio is a new addition to the Rebecca Crown Library and offers the space and equipment necessary to learn the basics of audio production. Whether you are recording a presentation for class, starting a podcast with friends, or finally recording that bedroom pop concept album about She-Ra you've been thinking about, the Innovation Lab would like to help you make your recordings the best they can be! Here, we've compiled a number of different tips and resources you can use, as well as services available from the Innovation Lab to get the most out of your recording experience.
The Recording Studio is located on the ground floor of Rebecca Crown Library, near the Mail Room. It operates Monday thru Saturday, 10am - 4pm. There are three recording booths, a small studio for video production, and a fourth recording setup in the common room of the Recording Studio.
The Studio is available to all students, staff, and faculty on a first-come-first-served basis. The Recording Studio can also be reserved by classes using the space for projects. To partner with the Recording Studio and schedule class reservations, please complete our instruction request form or contact Instruction Librarian Phil Skurski, at pskurski1@dom.edu, with questions.
Steps for conducting an oral history project:
"The hallmark of an oral history interview is a dynamic, collaborative relationship between the interviewer and the narrator. While interviewers pose questions based on research and careful preparation, narrators shape the interview based on what they deem to be relevant, meaningful, or appropriate to share. Despite the fluid nature of the interview process, an oral history is grounded in thoughtful planning and careful follow-through of the agreed-upon process." - Oral History Association
