#AudioMo, Day 4! We're back to the travel theme with this one.
As I continue getting excited about attending my 12th NFB National Convention next month, I thought this would be a fun recording to share. Actually, it's two recordings for the price of one.
It's July 2015, and I've just landed in Orlando for my first National Convention. I soon discover that I have to take a really cool shuttle tram to baggage claim. I could immediately tell this was something I needed to record. Then, when it was time to head home, I took the tram again on the way to my gate and made another recording.
The second part features that same experience nearly nine years later, in July 2024. You'll hear how the announcements have completely changed, and honestly, the whole experience sounds very different.
The main reason is that Orlando International Airport introduced new Mitsubishi trams in 2017 for at least some of the terminals. My 2024 convention trip was my first chance to experience them. By then, the tram system was also known as Gate Link.
This was honestly one of my favorite parts of attending conventions in Orlando. I always enjoyed riding the system.
The 2015 recordings were made using a second-generation Victor Reader Stream, and I apologize in advance, the audio quality is pretty rough. Things improve dramatically for the 2024 recordings, which were captured using my Zoom H1 Essential.
