My Project

Our studio is coming along so well and we are very close to finishing it! We were able to secure funding for a computer, a mixer, microphones, headphones, and soundproof paneling.

As we are constructing our studio, we have come to the realization that we need more soundproof paneling to make our studio truly soundproof.

We are building the studio in a drywall room with paneling on the sides and we are still picking up sound from the walls.

We are so grateful for the materials that we have acquired for this project and these panels would allow our space to produce the quality of sound that we are envisioning for our podcast! Thank you so much for considering.
