Bernie's Notes
Story #8 in today's edition marks a new effort with the TCN; an
audio report on a news story by yours truly. Yesterday I attended the fourth annual safety day sponsored
by the Associated General Contractors of New Jersey along with its partner, the
Building Contractors Association of New Jersey. I used some new equipment and software to record the
interviews and later edited it to the approximately two minute report you can
hear in today's newsletter. One
area I need to work on is adjusting recording levels for the interviews, which
were too high. I welcome any comments
you may have.
