Come one, come all to the NJAS DIY audio recording roundtable Zoom meeting, 2PM-4PM Feb 21st, 2021, featuring a panel of practiced NJAS DIY recordists. The current panel features well known NJASers Bill Cesanek, Jim Glynn, Izzy Marrone and Dr. Rob Paull. Once we reach out to other area clubs, others may join. Learn from those who have been there and done that what works and doesn't work for taking your tape deck (or maybe something more modern...) on the road to various venues and events, recording all sorts of things and how the results stack up against so-called “professional” studio and live-event recordings. Hear about the insights gained over the years, not only for their own efforts, but what about all recordings, amateur or commercial.

We'll go over the experience of doing recordings: getting permission, lugging gear, trying out different setups and gear, particular the endless search for good mics and pres. Then we cover the mixing of the results, editing and what you can expect once you've captured those phonons. Samples are promised. We want to, in particular, get and give a sense of the results you can achieve now with available gear, including Earthworks and DPA mics, cables, all-in-one totes, tube mics and more!

If you'd like to be on the panel (we need to keep this manageable), please contact Jim Glynn. Questions can be asked before and during the meeting, of course, moderated by Jim and Bill C. Please sign up on our events calendar on the NJAS website.

Some of the recording samples will appear in our new "Downloads" folder link above in the main menu.
