1. The Media Production Center recording studio

If you have a song or podcast you would love to record, you can follow these steps and the Media Production Center will help you.

Step 1: Submit a project request form on BYU–Hawaii’s University Communications & Relations website at https://ucwebform.byuh.edu/form/media-production-center-project-.

Step 2: The media production center will review and approve your project.

According to MPC sound technician, Riley Weston, a junior from Oregon studying computer science, huge or long-term projects cannot be taken on by the MPC. “We want people to have the opportunity to record their content. We will do our best to work with people who have prepared content and a real desire to get it recorded.”

Office 365 includes both online and offline access to documents and editing. The download will come directly from Microsoft.
