Another learning experience .... blecch

The other day, while discussing how to get the workshop into at least semi-functional condition, someone brought up the need to add sound samples of some kind to the new web site. So this sounds reasonable, and that's where the topic flows. There is a distinct divide between the "hire a professional" school of thought and the opposing "so how hard could it be?" approach.

Long story compressed (see? I can do that) and it's about 0330 this morning. I try playing at the web cam and trying to see how it might sound. Not bad, but the sound's not great. So I find the digital camera that looks like a video camera, put it on a tripod, and try that. Small problems, such as a seven minute discusssion on harp scales where all that's visible is the top of my head. Since any expenditures over and above zero are contraindicated at this point, I'll keep puttering along.

Or mammash I'll just stick to describing how these things work, and let it go at that.

Then again, if I get a better sound/video package, it would cost less than the booth fee at any number of events and might reach more people.
