RMAF: A different angle, part II

Posted by Stephæn on October 21, 2006 at 21:41:32

As usual, I took a lot of pictures and I took a lot of notes. I heard a few things that struck my interest, but I'm confident those will be covered by many other members of the press that are in attendance. What I heard that was most interesting were the replies to my simple query, asked of all the exhibitors I visited (at least those that had a moment to chat):

After doing a system demo for others … after all tweaking and all the futzing … after everyone is gone ... and it’s just you and your system ... what recordings do you pull out for yourself?

Here's what we learned today:
