Shutters Inc – the state of play
Hi there all you SI listeners,
I expected to have another episode to release this week, with Shelton, and talking about all those things we hinted at, at the end of ep 128.
However, with PMA coming up next weekend, Shelton is like a hamster on a treadmill at the moment.
So, alas, there will be no normal episode of SI this week.
Apologies for that.
However, as well as the pre-PMA teaser episode (#129) released a couple of days ago, I am also planning on taking a hand-held flash recorder to the show on Friday and recording some interviews with some of the vendors. Those interviews will then be chopped up into another special PMA episode.
Plus, we’re planning something else a little bit different for next week, as well.
So, the short version of the story (now that you’ve already read the long version!) is, it may be another couple of weeks before we get around to wrapping up the “going pro” series.
But that doesn’t mean you won’t have SOMETHING to listen to in the mean time.
Woot!
All I can say, I wish there was a free flight ticket to Australia to go with that free entry for PMA we can get from net. 🙂
Thanks for this report. It was like a little consolaton for living in Melbourne..a little hard to go to the PMA in Sydney.
Bruce, you mentioned that you were going to record on a hand-held flash recorder. I was impressed by the audio quality here. It would be good to know what you used…can you say?
Susan,
I was using a Zoom H2 (old technology now…. they’re about 5 years old).
However, I did record as WAV at 24 bit, which is what you should always do to any audio you intend to edit further prior to publishing…. just like shooting RAW instead of jpeg.
Also, I made sure I held the recorder at chest height in between myself and the interviewee so that I was getting good level from them.
I also had my Sennheiser CX300 earbuds plugged into the Zoom, with just one earbud stuck in my right ear so that I could hear what was going to the memory card (‘tape’, if you will).
Cheers.
