Subject: re: Merlefest Taping Policy
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 08:48:19 -0400
Bruce,
There is NO open taping allowed at Merlefest, and yes,
there is a check of all bags/coolers going in.
Predominately to catch people taking in alcohol (not
allowed - this is a family oriented festival). However,
I've seen people with video cameras there and last year,
they made the announcement before the Alison Krauss set
that people please do not videotape it.
Also, of course there are no SBD patches available, but
I've heard that everything that has been done at Merlefest
does get taped by someone. What they do with this tape I'm
not sure. At one time they were selling a videotape
(Merlefest/PBS/Wilkes Comm Coll) that lasted about an hour
or so and had past performances, plus there were a series
of shows on the local PBS stations having some great music.
But like I said, there is NO open taping allowed. At least
last year and all years previous. So you probably need to
figure on going stealth if you want to capture any of this
priceless music. Beware the wind situation - it'll screw up
your recordings royally.
You may want to call them and ask about video - I really
don't see why they'd differentiate between video (which
with Hi8 and AFM audio can be pretty darn good) and audio
taping. I was thinking about tearing down an old VHS
camcorder and mounting my D100 inside it and my AT-822 mic
on top. One year I used my AT-822 sticking out of a
backpack and I was very happy with the resultant sound.
Looking at my tickets, they state on the back:
Tickets nonrefundable
Rain Or Shine
At Artists request please no video, audio recording, flash
photography.
Merlefest will make reasonable accommodations for persons
with disabilities.
In accepting this ticket you grant permission for
publication of any photos or video in which you appear.
Good luck,
Ross Warren, Jr.

Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 09:42:36 -0400
After lying around collecting dust for months, it's time this D8 had a
new owner. Like new, hardly used (I only recorded about five tapes with
this machine) and works great. Asking $450 firm, includes everything
that came in the box (machine, AC adaptor, manual, leather cover, and
cleaning DAT), along with four blanks (60m DDS, two are relabeled
Maxwells, other two are Sony). NYC area buyer preferred for simplicity's
sake. If interested, email me at the address above.

I just went to see Leftover Salmon last night (4/10) at the Irving Plaza in
NYC. They played one long set followed by 3 encores (?). What a show! If any
of you tapers came out with a good clean recording, I'd love to set up a
trade/B&P for it. Thanks.

I will get back to everyone else after these other sbds re-surface.
Thanks for your response and your patience.

I know this has been posted to the list before, nut I never read too much on
the answers.
I just got a tape in a trade that displays no A-time. The music and start
ID are there but no A-time is present. Does anyone know what gives, and
will, if I clone a tape, the A time then be present? Hope some of you can
help me.
Thanks

Subject: CDRs
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 11:46:24 EDT
Hello
Just to put my two cents in..
I've made around 12 CDRs with the Phillips 870 by using the
drawer pull out method with no problems. Although I do worry about
the OPC function not being done on the disc I'm actually recording on,
I havn't had a problem yet. I also wonder about the fact that it does
resampling even when going 44.1 in.
I have been going ...
Sony D8 digital out ->
Audio Alchemy DDEv1.1 DAC ->
Yamaha EQ ->
Sony A7 analog in
to get optimal levels, resample to 44.1, and to add a touch of EQ;
personally I find almost all tapes can use a little EQ to optimize their
sound.
I've had great results so far.
I would like to find a digital box to do the EQ and level setting (a limiter
would be nice too as a lot of tapes have drum hits that are WAY
above everthing else in the mix) in the
digital domain but havn't had any luck finding anything in a rational
price range (I know about the Finalizer II, and it looks like it would
everything I need, but its $3000)
Anyone know of anything else?
I can't use my computer, I would need a new hard drive and digi i/o
card among other things.
Also, can anyone recomend a place to get comp CDRs cheap?
I've heard they can be bought in bulk for $1.

Subject: Analog deck and Mic's for sale
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 12:55:03 EDT
Sorry for the lack of DAT content.
I have a Marantz PMD 430 portable analog cassette deck I would like to sell.
It is a three head deck with dolby B and DBX. It has pitch and Bias controls,
it is fully portable, MPX filter, left and right VU meters, etc. I also have
a carrying case and a AC power adaptor for it. I bought the unit, used, back
in May of 1995 to tape Dead shows. I went to Deer Creek that year and taped
my first show. Subsequently Jerry died and I was done taping. In 1996 I
taped a local band with it 5 times and then went to DAT. This is a good deck
and it had been professionally worked on right before I purchased it. The
belts had been replaced and it was professionally cleaned. I would like to
get $250.00 for it or best offer.
I also have a pair of Radio Shack Electret Unidirectional Condenser
Microphones. These have XLR connectors and operate on a standard "AA"
battery. I bought these NEW on 3-23-96. I used them 5 times. I know these
mic's are not the greatest in the world, but I hate the thought of them
sitting around doing nothing. I paid $99.95 a piece for them. If someone out
there would like to buy these I would like to get $60.00 a piece for them or
best offer. These are in their original box and all the info is with them.
I will pay shipping. If interested please Email me at: CosmicKC@aol.com or
feel free to give me a call at (630)-302-3372.
Again I am sorry for the lack of DAT content.

I have two things to say, so listen up.
1) Doesn't it seem strange that nobody has these shows? It's because
no one is willing to give anything up for them.
2) I am not who you think I am. (all you Dylanologists know who I am
refering to, and it ain't me)
The day of reckoning has arrived. Just like the man said "You got to

Subject: Re: Editing Spoken Word
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 98 23:13:16 EDT
Tom Kwai Lam asked about editing interviews.
Of all the things you can use, from DAWs
to razor blades and tape, nothing beats MD
in my experience, and I've been doing it for
quite a while. The Sony JE-510 is under
US$300 many places; Montgomery Ward! even
had them for $199.9x for a while.
With spoken word source material, ATRAC
(the MD data compression scheme) improves
intelligibility and diminishes noise. The
editing precision of the JE-510, 11.3mS,
is just about ideal, and the audition
capability makes placing -- and moving --
a cinch.
The music will lose something with MD,
but unless your are supporting your inter-
views with a lot more than the rest of us
ever use, that won't make any difference
either.
A lot of broadcast is using MD for their
on-air programs and spots. Some for the
on-air music as well. Go to SoundForge if
you will, but it will be like digging a
posthole with a teaspoon.
Hope this helps.
Gary
