[Nfb-web] Today I Made The Kill!!

[Michael Hansen]

Peter,

We haven't yet delved into the relm of audio streaming but we have
been using a very similar rig to record the Nebraska conventions for
about the last 4 years. We also use it to pipe audio from a PC out
through the PA system (things like goofy sound effects for door prize
drawings and fun music before and after sessions).

Until last year we had just always rented a mixer from the hotel this
past year we borrowed one from the parent of one of our members. This
type of setup has always worked out well for us, I think that you will
like it as well.
