Before the Zoom I just used to run around with my EEE in the crook of one arm with a mic plugged into it. (That is still how I record at home). Just start up Audacity, hit record, and sabotage someone sticking the mic in front of them. ;) I'm bummed I can't make it this year guys! Have fun! Get lots of pics and audio so we that can't make it can still attend vicariously. b -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUEyqOAAoJEItI30RR73VOsjMH/RXbnp3S2tKuUbH00vb/mLLy C4XIaRQqm8bo9OHiygcs7Tu3AmfGrTpjnVN7XX6fMDtDNcphIIHkbNhBTIImLgU5 3NEWYij94RBkDFgPQqV1MvIhkE1HRv/GGf4YlbiT+9TyJ8uYOb+3nG8iw72OFXMl UIxZ93EBtIGw23rfGyrERotsulhPldyHvh8F5jdQCzgB0683CAb2KUYx/hOXTcwT 0rE27v5jNZho+fcyiJHfBNZLwyR7BHWvqJ9ntw6WWqrVjhGEZQUf34KU/3TNTqJO 9ybnfhG3JS6H72UUAEzXxuM4BBL1Q+/MhPnVn4q9t+RvjfFVZXt/urPgBJLwXqU= =3Pyp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
