Champaign Digital Equity Initiative is a community outreach extension of Rapture Media Group LLC who also owns the Champaign Podcast Studio.
Perhaps you may remember when local cable companies had Community Public Access Studios where the public paid a modest fee to produce programs that were aired on a dedicated cable channel. Production costs were held to a minimum because community members also trained on running the cameras and producing shows. We are looking to do something similar with our video and audio podcast studios by providing low-cost Public Access Podcast Services, which will allow creative individuals and community organizations an affordable means to get their message out. Your support is greatly appreciated. For every $1 donated, you will receive a coupon code for $2 off at RAPTURETRANSFER.COM. If you are interested in participating in CDEI Public Access Podcasting, send your contact information to publicaccess@champaignpodcaststudio.com.
Our Content Rooms
STUDIO ONE
Studio One is our group audio recording space. It can accommodate 4 participants and an engineer, or 5 participants if the host also serves as his or her own engineer.

Studio Two is our multi-purpose project room. It is used primarily as a photo studio for professional portraits and social media content. It also doubles as a video room for up to 2 actor video recordings.
STUDIO THREE
Studio Three is our sit-down video room. It can accommodate a host with two guests, in addition to a remote guest on screen.
PRODUCTION STUDIO
The Production Studio is where we do audio and video editing. It is also the public space we make available for content creators to access software and tools to edit and post their own material.
BRANDING STUDIO
The Branding Studio is where we assist clients in creating custom branding for their projects. We have printers, cutters, and heat presses that enable the custom branding of t shirts and other apparel, mugs, hats, bags either in vinyl or full color. In addition, we can create custom lettering for doors, windows, vehicles, and signs.
ZOOM CONFERENCE ROOM
The conference room is free to gather for planning before and after your session if it is available, but it must be requested and approved by staff.
Text, Call, or Email for Appointments
Whether you use our studios and want to work on your projects while you are here or just need to rent time in the editing room, you can make an appointment for a block of time to access our equipment and software.
