NAHJ Conference
5 students. Monday's session (Recording techniques) started with Engineer Tom Krymkowski passing out media kits. The kits contain a good starter minidisc player that is inexpensive ($400) and easy. It contains:
The minidisk player is compact, relatively inexpensive, standard equipment — but it's being phased out by Sony. New technology is removable media, like a card in a digital camera. Always carry more disks and more batteries than you think you need. It isn't actual audio recording onto the card, it's a file. So make sure you have enough battery power to save, and give it enough time to save the whole file and let it create the table of contents before you eject. Change the disk when the interview is boring or the person goes to answer the phone - it doesn't have to be at the end of the tape. Don't use the new 6- hour disks because they record in inferior quality. Instead, set your disk to record in mono to double the time and keep the quality. But, be careful not to put a mono plug into a stero mike. A 512 mb disk will provide a little more than 2 hours of mono recording. MP3 is a playback only file type. It is not designed to record in or transfer files with. |  |
