We are researching phone recording, real-time encoding, capture to hard drive, and reflection from a streaming server.

Our ideal is to capture, edit (at least mark start and end points), and deploy audio on a streaming server so it can be linked from a blog

Step by step:

• Test phone - recorder - laptop encoder - streaming server
• MiniDisc recorder on record
  • Use new MD. Check record mono mode
  • MD on record/pause.
  • Pick up phone.
  • Check recording volume on MD remote dispay
  • Check sound in MD headphones
  • Connect HP/line out to laptop mic in.
• Helix Producer on Encode
  • Device SoundMax
  • File Destination - e.g., D:\Real_encodes\cmpros20040519.rm (local)
  • Server Destination - media.skybuilders.com, file name live.rm
  • Check recording volume in Producer
  • Confirms connections from phone to laptop
  • Click Encode
• Optional capture audio to Sound Forge (for MP3 file)
  • Device SoundMax
  • File Destination - e.g., D:\MP3\cmpros20040519.rm (local)
  • Check recording volume in Sound Forge
  • Click Prepare
  • Click Record
• First Streaming server check
  • Open Real Player (in second machine - Mac?)
  • Click on live audio stream link.
  • Server Destination - media.skybuilders.com, file name live.rm
  • Check playback volume in Real Player (speakers)
  • Check speakers not muted, volume at 50%, sound OK
  • Ask someone to check outside our LAN (on the web - TW)
• Place call to interview/meeting being recorded (e.g., FreeConference.com)
  • Welcome participants
  • Invite chair to take over. Do sound check
  • Check playback volume in Real Player (speakers)
  • Check speakers not muted, volume at 50%, sound OK
• Final Streaming server check
  • Recheck recording volume on MD remote
  • Recheck recording volume on Helix Producer
  • Confirm Real Player has volume
• Return to phone meeting
• End of meeting
  • Thank everyone for call
  • Stop MD recorder
  • Stop Sound Forge recording
  • Stop Helix encoder
