[Perform-talk] Going the Distance

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Sarah and everyone,

    If anyone still wonders why I insist on folks using top-quality audio 
equipment to capture convention events this afternoon I was notified that 
Dr. Maurer wants one of the recordings I made during this year's national 
convention to be posted to the NFB's National Web Site: www.nfb.org.

    I guess it pays off to invest in equipment that allows you to record 
events that reflect the true capabilities of blind professional and budding 
digital-audio enthusiasts. There's not much to say more than that. Look for 
an announcement about the event's availability on the NFB Web Site in the 
near future.

lol. Yeah I  record with my little olympus and the sound is not great but it 
sounds quite good given the size of my setup which can fit in to the palm of 
my hand lol!

Take care all.
