DIGITAL MEDIA
IntroductionThe Platform4 Audio and Digital Media Studio is part of the Kildare County Council’s music development programme. Managed by Kildare County Council Arts Service, the purpose of the studio is to offer high quality training and mentoring initiatives in audio and digital media.
While the primary purpose of the studio is to run and develop training initiatives for artists of all ages, both spaces can be rented commercially. For commercial rates contact Kildare County Council Arts Service.
The Platform4 Audio and Digital Media Studio is a versatile space for artists to learn and create work. Kildare County Council welcomes submissions from artists / musicians / fi lmmakers on innovative and creative ways to use the studio.
AUDIO STUDIOAudio StudioThe Audio Studio runs out of one live room. This area is large enough to hold a large drum kit, but not to record a band as a unit. All recordings are made solo, resulting in the cleanest direct sounds to mix with.
The Audio Studio is not limited to the recording of Bands / Musicians. Since 2007 a broad range of programmes have been developed that have enhanced the usage of the studio and better engaged with artists needs.
