Podcasting workshop #2 will focus more directly on helping students become familiar with the equipment used in recording professional audio.

West Branch (1125 University Ave) is offering two Podcasting Workshops with local Podcaster, Arie.

Workshop #1 Intro to Podcasting, All Ages

Saturday, Feb 8th 3-4:30pm

Workshop #2 Audio Recording and Equipment, Ages 11-22

Thursday, Feb 20th 5-6:30pm

First workshop attendance is not required.

RSVP Required to ensure there is enough equipment available.

This workshop will focus more directly on helping students become familiar with the equipment used in recording professional audio.

Participants will go through the whole process of setting up the DAW for production and have time to produce their own beginning recordings.
