Preparing

I must prepare before I visit the Wycombe Swan as I would like my recordings to go as smoothly as possible. 

The equipment I have booked out for the week includes:

A Marantz PMD-661
Sennheiser K6 Kit

As mentioned before in this blog, I have been shown how to use this equipment and how to set it up properly.

The problems I thought I may face is mostly down to batteries. As I will be recording for 2 hours, I will need to make sure I have enough batteries to last me as in my experience they run out very quickly.
I also need to make sure I have good time management as there is only specific busy times. As I am taking public transport, I will make sure to catch the earlier bus so I am on time to set up all the equipment and introduce myself to the duty manager.
