Being a virtual technophobe, this was what I was most worried about when I started. At my previous school we had a Coomber CD recorder - a nice piece of kit. I would make the recording, take it home, spend a while finding a suitable MP3 converter and then converting the file to be able to upload it onto numu. OK, but fairly time intensive.
So on joining my new school (and not knowing enough about recording live on Cubase), I ordered an point and shoot Edirol R-09 MP3 recorder for both of us in the department. I am very impressed so far. It's practically foolproof and a track can be uploaded within 3 minutes of recording it.The kids love that of course, so I make a big thing of it - they can watch the process on the interactive whiteboard - and they love the fact that just a few minutes after they performed it, anyone in the world with access to the internet can hear their work.
There are apparently some good deals going for people who are using numu and other musical futures approaches as Roland (the makers of the Edirol) are sponsors.
That's the technical stuff out of the way for now. It doesn't interest me at all... Check out www.numu.org.uk/spark
