Amid a competitive bidding war, members of Aggie Radio fought to secure the room as their own.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With support from John Zsiray, USU\u2019s Student Media program coordinator, and members of Student Involvement, Aggie Radio secured the space. The new space is located across the hall from the Student Media office and next to the USU Campus Store.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aggie Radio\u2019s station manager Luke Arnold detailed the struggles of getting the new space.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThere were a lot of people who were bidding for the space and wanted to turn it into a lot of different things,\u201d Arnold said. \u201cOne of the biggest difficulties was that the university wanted it to be a profit-generating space.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aggie Radio sought the new space for a few reasons including the opportunity for modern equipment and a studio better aligned with the Americans With Disabilities Act.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe tried to draw up many different diagrams to see if we could make it work,\u201d Arnold said. \u201cWhen this space became available, ADA compliance was one of the biggest pushes for student involvement. We need to make it accessible to all students. If you have mobility aids, a walker or a wheelchair, you can get to any position at the table. This creates a more equitable space for people on campus.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The new equipment includes an Arrakis soundboard that makes remote broadcasts easier and a sound-proof glass divider. The divider will enable the studio to record a live show on one side while creating pre-recorded content on the other.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAn issue with the previous soundboard is that it was physically attached to the table and bolted to the wall, and every microphone had to be hardwired into an old telephone line,\u201d Arnold said. \u201cIt was the same board they used in the AV Club in \u201cStranger Things\u201d, and it was even presented as being outdated then.\u201d <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019ve already done quite a bit of recording with the new setup for podcasters and DJs. We\u2019re still waiting on the glass divider and some other things to get everything going,\u201d said Nate Jefferies, sound engineer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe new space has allowed us to pre-record and practice going live with the show beforehand, which has allowed for a lot more quality control,\u201d said Max Murray, Aggie Radio\u2019s programming manager. \u201cIt helps the DJs stay engaged and want to participate more.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The budget for the new room was $100,000.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cA lot of the budget went to less flashy components. Even the doors were very expensive because they are the same type used in hospitals because they are sound-tempered,\u201d Arnold said. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty common for us to bring in people with drum kits and full instrumentation. It can get pretty loud. As we were designing the space and allocating resources, our main priority was not to disrupt other spaces.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe have DJs, podcasting, all of that. If people want to be involved with anything music-related, come check it out. Check out our new studio and get a tour of it,\u201d Jefferies said.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cEveryone\u2019s got a place at Aggie Radio,\u201d said Eva Uribe, music manager.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aggie Radio\u2019s shows air on Aggie 92.3 FM, TuneIn radio, and the My USU app. Students can contact the station via Instagram @aggieradio to get involved.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the relocation of the Utah State University Post Office to the Aggie Print Station, a space on the bottom&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":900103,"featured_media":22131281,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,19],"tags":[66,16688,16687,251],"class_list":["post-22131273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-news","tag-aggie-radio","tag-beats","tag-dj","tag-tsc"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
