[Imc-chicago-audio] [CIMC-work] Can anyone record audio of this event?

Sun Dec 12 18:55:26 PST 2010

Mitchell, you would do the editing afterward right?  (In my opinion 
that's the task that takes the most time.)

I have some questions, but I don't know if you can answer these 
Mitchell.  If not, please just tell me and I'll contact the media 
representatives at DePaul.

What's the format of the panel?  Is there a host that will moderate the 
forum?  (Of course, with well-behaved guests this is not always 
necessary.)  And would the host ensure that only one person talks on 
microphone at once?

How many microphones will be needed?  Can one microphone be shared among 
all of the speakers (or perhaps 2 shared among 4 people) in order to 
simplify the mixing requirements?

Does the room have a PA system already?

Thanks.
