[Nfb-history] Recording Toolbox

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Tina and all,

I got a good recording of a seminar at my state convention here 
in Maryland last year just using my Victor Reader Stream.  
Granted, I only was recording it for myself and my own 
information, but it was good audio quality.  The only hinderance 
to the audio quality was that my BrailleNote was sitting close to 
my Stream and sometimes you could hear my typing on the 
BrailleNote as I was taking notes better than the presenter at 
the head table.  This was without a sound system.  You can also 
get pretty good audio quality on a BrailleNote.  I would record 
my piano teacher playing songs for me to practice on my Note, and 
it almost sounded like he was doing it in a studio.  Just my two 
cents!

Peter,

That is why I urge people to set the bit rate and sampling rate 
high.  A good
standard is a bit rate of 128 and a sample rate of 44.1.  If you 
need to go
higher, set the bit rate to 256 and leave the sample rate at 
44.1.  If you
need to compromise because your memory card is too small, set the 
bit rate
to 64, but leave the sample rate at 44.1..

Should the recordings be mono or stereo? Personally, I don't 
care.

Also, if you can, place your recording equipment on the head 
table, or get a
good seat in the front of the meeting room.  That should cut down 
on audience
noise, especially since the digital recorders are so lightweight.  
Just
remember to grab your unit as you leave the meeting.  Thanks.
