hms42A couple of people asked me about the recorders that the sound team was using at OVFF.
They are Zoom H2 units with a silicon drop shield present on them. (To protect the unit from my being a klutz.) I did see at least 3-4 others at the con, so they are appearing to become more common.
There are recordings from the units on filk archive, if you wish to hear what I was able to edit from an edited zoom recording, there are a number that I have shared (with full permissions granted) at -
http://www.filkarchive.org.uk
Permissions are only done in writing (with very rare exceptions.)
Fuzzyvanman and Spencer recorded the soundboard to digital hard drive recorders.
As for getting copies of the recordings from OVFF, so that you can hear something from there, I don't own the music rights. Those fall to Fuzzyvanman (and OVFF) and I don't control them. I have to check with Fuzzyvanman first, if I want to do something with a recording beyond personal usage. (This technically includes honoring your request for copies. Please note, if someone is asking for something YOU sang, then you will be asked before its shared (your permission being granted is required). We are hoping to get some form of a CD out someday. (We have to ID about 80 hours of audio FIRST and we have day jobs.)
Now to find something you had sung at the con in a recorded open filk circle (and this would be for any convention I record at, not just OVFF), I will require the following info -
Convention, Room, day, aproximate time and any IDing info incase I don't know your song or voice. (First verse would be very helpful in making sure I got the right song for example.).
All H2 recordings are audio date stamped with convention, day, time, recorder number for the room, and recorder number.
Using a request I am working on pulling, at the moment, I had a request from a filker for a song for them to learn by writing down the following info -
Saturday @ OVFF, German Village Room, around 11ish from someone else.
I have already cleared permission with - Fuzzyvanman and the performer (who will be given the link to download the song once its pulled from the 1 3/4 hour long file.) in this case.
What I can share, will appear on filk archive over time. (I have 2 songs I really want to pull, but they are also candidates for a future CD (and I am taking notes as I find the songs I would want to use for that.)
On a side note, I also got a few other tapes handed to me over the weekend of some live recordings from a while ago (80s) and those will be making a digital jump for the owner, and they requested the audio not get lost to time. Those recordings will be shared on the filk archive as permissions come in.
