Digispace

A digital recording studio located at our Eastside Branch.

Our Digispace is a set of two rooms set up for recording audio. One section of the space is a sound-proofed booth, and the other is the control room with computers, equipment, and software to manage the recording process. Recording can occur in either room, so that customers can record either on their own or with a partner or group. If you know that you will be making an excess amount of noise we recommend using the sound-proof booth. 

The use of the Digispace is entirely FREE, and it can be reconfigured however you need to accomplish your recording.

The Digispace can be booked in two-hour increments. To book the Digispace use the button below or call us at 519-886-1310 x410.

Using the Space

Customers will be required to bring their own USB stick to save their recordings. Recordings MUST be saved to an external device at the end of your session.

Beverages with lids are permitted, but we ask that no food is brought into the space or around the equipment.
