All info on these mics can be found at

How can anyone be this stupid? I'm guessing that you're the guy whose sale
of tapes kicked off a discussion about selling DATs, and I'm further guessing
that some group of pinheads has taken it upon themselves to harass you about
it. Well, you have my sympathy for that. But surely you realize that most
readers figure what you think is right is your own business; I don't smoke
dope or sell bootlegs myself, but I'm not going to call the Feds if I see you
do so -- much less take part in some vigilante campaign!
But I AM going to get pissed off if you lump me in with them and assume the
list is responsible for your problem, and I AM pissed that you are trying to
threaten the list as a way to solve it. And now your mailbox has this letter,
and probably others like it, and probably still the ones you set out to stop.
Wise up.

Hey all,
Please someone record Lori Carson at McCabes. Much Lori and simular /
related to trade. If you're not familiar with her solo or Golden Paliminos
work, this is a great chance to aquaint yourself. If you are familiar with
her work, you might be interested to hear she's doing a lot of new material
at her live shows these days.
In addition to the priceless experience of the show itself - if it makes any
difference, I'll reimburse you for blanks, batteries, and the ticket, in
addition to getting you a copy on CDR.
Thanks in advance,

Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 17:15:56 -0500 (EST)
I had a recent mishap with my DA-302 that may be informative.
I put a tape in deck 1, and cued it up to about the 1-minute mark
then hit stop. I hit play to begin my musical experience, but did
not get what I expected. The display went to "- - - - - -" where
it had previously shown the time, and the deck began to repeatedly
play (for 3 seconds or so) then stop, then play, then stop and so
on. No sound was coming out, and I could not get it out of the
seemingly endless loop. There was no response to the stop button,
and I was in a mild panic. After much gnashing of teeth and ringing
of hands, I hit the standby button, and that got it out of the
play-stop-play-stop loop. I ejected the tape, took a deep breath,
and have had no problem since. Anyone have a clue as to what
happened?

I just found a bunch of Soulhat show recently. I was wondering if there is
any intrest among the Dat-Heads. Soulhat was (they recently broke up) based
out of Austin, Texas and won a best new band award at the SXSW music confrence
in '93. So if there is any interest in soulhat shows please e-mail me. Also
If anyone knows what the members are up to I'd like to hear

I don't know about the mkII, but the original DA-30 handles
90m tapes fine.

Hi there,
justr returned from my 16 day US East Coast trip taping all of the
current Black Crowes final "Sho'nuff" dates
Dan asked in a previous DHD:
From: Dan Clark <clarkda@NKU.EDU>
Subject: Black Crowes taping policy
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 21:19:41 -0500
Does anyone know the Crowe's policy on this tour? They have been fairly
open to tapers in the past but there is no indication on their official
web
site. Also, anyone who gets any nice tapes from the tour, contact me
and
we'll trade for this or previous tour tapes.
--Dan
They still are taper friendly....only problem might be the venue.
Sometimes they don't inform the venue or the venue itself decides not to
allow taping. This happened to me a few days ago in Myrtle Beach. The
guys at the door knew nothing about their open taping policy and after
two sentences out of their mouths I knew it made no sense to debate with
those guys. I went to the back door to find their boss who told me just
about the same: " Doesn't matter if the band allows taping, it's up to
us if we allow taping inside our venue"...Tried to talk to some Black
Crowes road stuff but they pretty much told me the same thing. But since
I got to know the band and their road manager pretty well in the last
three months we both talked the House of Blues security head into
allowing taping.I mentioned that the HOB in L.A. recently allowed taping
Rollins Spoken Word show and that apparently helped.
Once again, the Black Crowes even encourage fans to bring their tape
recorders...they recently even changed their "photo policy" from "No
photos or videos" to " Photos allowed but with no flash".
Only thing they don't like is bringing bulky mics stands with you and
place them near the stage...if you place them FOB you'll definitely have
no problems at all.

For most of these reasons, I keep a backup of every CD I made (and recieve
in trades), and I rarely touch them. They're cheap enough to do this. Of
course, audio CDs can't play at 48 kHz, and the sample rate conversion
method you use may not be the best (it might have a fatal flaw). And for
all we know, the design of CD-Rs themselves might have some flaw that
won't allow them to last the 75-200 years they've been advertising--heck,
for all we know, they might not even last 10 years! What if none of the
dyes last as long as they're claimed to, because of who knows what? Plus,
DAT is nice for allowing a continuous performance--with CDs, discs have to
be changed once every 74-80 minutes, in the best case.

Subject: A few equipment questions
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 99 20:27:33 -0400
Hey now,
For all you experienced folk out there, I have a few questions for ya.
-Let's say that I wanted to take my old analog tapes and reels and
transfer them over to DAT or CD. Is there such a product that will
convert analog signal to digital signal? What about records to DAT/CD?
-When a band records an album, it needs to be mastered before it is
reproduced. What gear/equipment is necessary for this? Also what does
this process involve?
As you can probably tell from the broadness of the questions, I am
looking to get some new equipment.
Thanks for your time...

Taking offers on:
Casio DA-7 same unit as Denen DTR-1000P and Teac DA-P20
I purchased this unit last January. There's always a story on the hrs.
of use but supposedly the original owner used it a few time and it
basically sat around for several years. It was in excellent/mint
condition cosmetically and otherwise when purchased.
I have used it in the field 6 times to tape what one might call "neo-
hippie-type" bands. Its also been used to do D>A dubs and I probably
put about a total of 250-300 hours on it.
digital coaxial i/o
analog rca i/o
1/4" mic in
variable stereo mini headphone out
Comes with:
-stock carrying case
-photocopied manual
-Pro Digital rechargeable battery pack with float charger providing
~4.5 hrs. of power w/o mic. pre-amp draw
-Stock battery is dead but I still have it if you want it.
-ac wall wart (sp?)
-Pro Digital modified cable to accommodate ac or dc power using stock
power cord
-cosmetically excellent shape
Please see DAT Market posting for specs
I've been told it has one of the best transports of any portable short
of the HHB and Sony D10.
Always worked flawlessly. I just don't use it enough for field use to
justify keeping it.
Taking reasonable offers.
thanks for the bw

Subject: Do I really need a digital in?
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 17:37:21 -0800
Hello All,
I'm now able to burn DAT to CD using Soundedit16 and Toast. I just burned
a DSBD to disc as an experiment and am having a hard time telling the
difference between the two. This is w/o using a "digital in card" , just
used the "analog input" in the back of my Mac. It sounds amazing.
Aside from the fact most won't want to trade with me if they know I'm not
using a digital-in soundcard, any other reasons why I would find the need
to break out the cash for the "digi-in" soundcard?
Beings that most of my collection was originally from analog sources does
the extra digital>analog>digital really make that huge a difference?
Also, does anyone know if you can add tracks to one large file without
breaking up the large file into smaller seperate files. If I were to
seperate the tracks into seperate files is there a trick to making it so
that the tracks play without stopping and starting between each track.
Thanks in advance

With everyone talking about soundcards...I found the Turtle
Beach Soundcards for a good price at this url. The Fiji card
with digital I/O card is $187.95, and the Pinnacle with digital I/O is
$295.95, and about $10.00 shipping. I don't have anything to do with this
company, but just thought I'd pass along a good bargain. I just bought the
Pinnacle from them.

======================
Uh . . .Radio Shack? ;) 6v. DC at 200mA is still 6v. DC, and I don't _think_ Sony has managed a
patent on it yet. Any wall wart with the right voltage & amperage output will work, but Sony _does_
use those slightly off-sized connectors and a reverse polarity scheme to keep you from using the
cheaper stuff that they don't sell.

Subject: 7502's extraction/CDr system check/SBLive!
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 22:33:55 -0500 (EST)
Three CDr subjects going around:
1) Panasonic 7502 does digital audio extraction at
8 speed fine. I have had no problems.
2) My CDr setup is a P200 MMX/32MB RAM/3.1GB with
an Adaptec ISA SCSI card (not sure the exact model)
and a Panasonic 7502. I use a Plextor 12/20 SCSI
reader as a source drive. The ISA card has been
no problem and I won't spend money on a PCI card
until I see something wrong. The 7502 is a great
burner at a great price (I've seen it for $200
which is awesome for a 4X burner). I have had a
few coasters (2 or so) out of the 300 or so CDs
that I've burned, but with the cost of media these
days, I don't cry about it. This set-up with the
reader, writer, and card should be about $350
(pretty nice if you ask me).
3) The SBLive!: I got it almost immediately after
it came out and didn't know about the double
re-sampling. At first I was a little disappoited
in hearing that, but I've done a few transfers
of DAT>CD and they've sounded more than fine.
I've never done strict comparissons and I don't
have a magic ear, but I like what I hear and so
do the picky DAT heads that I've made CDs for.
If you look at CDs as something for storage and
collection (I look at them as something to listen
to in the car or give to people who don't have
DAT decks) then maybe you should spend the extra
money on the Turtle Beach, but it serves my needs
fine. Sorry if anybody's scared that I'm infecting
the Cdr gene pool out there. If you care that much,
then don't trade Cdrs with people unless you know
the card that they were made with...I write SBLive
on the sources of all the CDs that I make...
