[nfb-talk] Recording State Convention Sessions

[Tina Hansen]

I have just received a Book Port Plus from APH, and I thought it would be a great tool for recording our affiliate's state convention. Yet, I know that recording state conventions can be a challenge.

I was thinking seriously about recording our next state convention, with the OK of my state President, and if the recordings were good enough, they could then go on our state's web site.

Since I know many affiliates are trying to record their state conventions, I'd be interested in hearing what others have done. What equipment have you used, and is is necessary for the affiliate to have their own sound system? Is it possible to just use the one at the hotel?

Besides the Book Port Plus or other digital voice recorder, what equipment might I or the affiliate need?

What have other affiliates done to record their state conventions, and how good have the results been? What about recording from the audience of plugging the voice recorder directly into the sound system?

If anyone has tips, thoughts, or ideas, I'd be happy to share them with my state President. Thanks.
