Hmm... Yes, we definitely need to do a trial run. However a few of points:

I'll need some notice to get the kit together, it doesn't all live here.

Someone needs to get a recording device organised since as I said before
mine lives in Aylesbury atm. I'm assuming we will use a PC running audacity
or similar but I don't have one that is portable (see below). Note that the
critical quality component in the recording chain will be whatever does the
digitization (i.e. the sound card). The average laptop sound card is
probably good enough in theory but they tend to suffer from induced noise
pickup from the rest of the system.

Before we do a trial recording run we need to do a tech rehearsal to make
sure the kit all works together and that we have the correct leads etc.
Mostly for the desk to recording device part.

My house is too noisy to do an actual recording - I have buses running past
outside among other things.
