Hello everyone,
For some time I've been talking about purchasing digital recording and
audio production equipment to record NFB functions and other events. Today
we made the kill! Tonight we're proud owners of an Alesis Multi-Mix 8 mixer,
and other equipment including a conventional and a wireless mic along with
headphones and all of the needed cables and connectors. Recall that I was
able to purchess a laptop at the end of April. I expect to be picking up a
second wireless mic and a Lovelear Mic before leaving for the national
convention.
So far I'm scheduled to record the NFB Writers' Division Workshop and
Business Meeting at the national convention. We bought a flight bag for
transporting everything to Detroit and back.
both Mary and I went to the Guitar Center here in San Antonio to pick
up the equipment. One of their managers, one Chuck Edgett was extremely
helpful even to permitting us to setting up the equipment and testing
everything in the store before purchasing it. We were there for over three
hours, but when it was all over we left that place with over $600.00 worth
of professional audio production equipment. A payment from another Web
client will make the purchess of a few additional items possible. Given the
short time frame if the budget holds out I may also pick up an Olympus DS-50
before leaving for Detroit assuming I can find a local dealer that carries
it. This has been in the works for several years and has now come to pass.
The next milestone for me will be streaming my first NFB event. Here's
hoping everyone is having a great weekend as we are here. Talk to you all
soon.
