We have been presented with a grant opportunity for a recording studio to record local books, can anyone suggest what we might need? We currently have a room, about 8 ft. by 8ft, it has a window and ceiling tiles on the walls for sound (It was a rough recording studio a few decades ago). We've used Audacity in the past for short newsletters. I'm thinking we would need maybe 2 or 3 microphones, a filter, not really sure what else. Can anyone suggest a list of items?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

"Books are the eyes of the blind. They reveal to us the glories of the light-filled world, they keep us in touch with what people are thinking and doing, they help us to forget our limitations. With our hands plunged into an interesting book, we feel independent and happy." Helen Keller, 1930<br>
