[nfb-talk] Recording State Convention Sessions

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Tina,

    You can do better than a hand-held recorder. Follow our example and 
invest in a laptop and some high-quality equipment for best results. Mary 
and I did that last year. The results of that investment can be found on 
several affiliate Web sites and on the NFB Web Site in the "Members" area. 
I'll be recording more activities at this year's convention this summer. A 
cab driver we use often is a licensed pilot and has his own airplane. He 
will be flying us and the equipment to Dallas this summer and back. This 
will enable us to avoid dealing with baggage gorillas and traveling on the 
flying bus! It's also a great way for us to remember our silver anniversary.

Subject: [nfb-talk] Recording State Convention Sessions


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.
