44 FALL 2021
IN THE FALL OF 2020, STACY Whitaker, M.Ed (Director of Engineering, Dept. of Media + Communication), at East Tennes- see State University reached out to Jason Jenkins at the DVEstore. The department had been look- ing for a way to put together an easy-to-use recording studio. Word of mouth from colleagues at other schools had prompted a visit to OneButtonStudio.info.
Stacy, in consultation with Don Armstrong, the Direc-
tor of Student Media, opted
to purchase the One Button Studio+Plus, which is a full- featured, self-service presenta- tion recording studio. The kit includes everything needed
to turn a small room into an interactive, automated recording studio.
The newly renovated D.P. Culp Student Center at ETSU
was the obvious spot for the new studio, since it houses the Student Media Center. Don found a home for the One Button Studio+Plus just across the
hall from his office. The beauty of the DVEstore’s One Button Studio Kits is that they don’t require any special infrastruc- ture. The systems are designed to install directly into an existing small space.
The two-day installation included training the crew, so they could be familiar with the system. Later in the month, Don had this to say about the project:
“We are loving the One Button Studio+Plus! We already have students using it to record their projects.”
