Make It Happen Here
Looking for some inspiration to help get your creative juices flowing? Here are four ways you can make it happen in MakerStudio!
Send a Video Greeting
Add a personal touch with a video message that’s warmer than a text, email, or post. Record a holiday greeting, birthday wish, or friendly update to share with family, friends, or social media followers.
Start Your Own Podcast
Got something to say? Record and edit your own podcast—solo or with friends—on topics that matter to you. Discuss local stories, explore your hobbies, or share interviews with community changemakers. Reaper and Audacity audio editors, along with the studio’s microphones, can help you sound your best.
Film a How-To or Demo Video
Show the world your skills by creating a short demonstration video. Combine recordings from home with a well-lit studio setup to give your project a professional polish allowing you to showcase your hobbies. From cooking and crafting to coding and coaching, use the digital tools to record, edit, and upload your masterpiece—all in one place.
Record Your Next Song or Audio Project
Musicians and makers of all kinds can explore their sound here. With studio-quality microphones, simple plug-in gear like the Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, and speakers that let you hear your music clearly, you can lay down tracks, add vocals, record an instrument, or fine-tune a mix. Whether you’re creating a song for fun or creating background tracks for a video or slideshow, come to MakerStudio to experiment and discover how good your music can sound.
