DAT-Heads,
I recent taped Jimmy Eat World and opener Chula at Boston's in Tempe,
Arizona on the 20th. CSBmod/M1, from ten feet in front of the stack.
Sounds terrific and Jimmy Eat World played some new songs set for their
next full length coming in February.
I am interested in getting some more Chula and possibly Jimmy Eat World as
well. I am always interested in Smashing Pumpkins, as well.
Thanks for the bandwidth! :)

I'm selling an extra pair of 15' XLR microphone cables. They are the Audio
Magic Sceptor II cables. These are the silver cables commonly seen in the
taper's section. I paid retail $150 for them, used 15 times, perfect
condition. Will take $120 and I'll pick up the shipping.
Thanks,
Dan
P.S. Does anyone have my JGB 10-31-92 SBD??

Hi;
I have seen the Tascam DA-P1 for sale for $1325 (w/ free delivery) [Sonic
Sense]. Has anyone seen these for less?
For you AKG 480 users, can the 480 be plugged directly into (and powered)
by the DA-P1? If so, what does this do the to battery time. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.
Take Care,

I know the Sony, and I'm pretty sure the Panasonic, will reset SCMS to
whatever you want if the input comes via AES/EBU input. Whether this
applies with the 7-pin-to-XLR cables Len sells I don't know. Does anyone?
BTW, I'm unaware of the DVD Audio spec including an option for long playing
time. There are multi-channel and high bit/sampling rate options, but a
long play option? Does anyone know? Is there a Web site with the specs?

Hi,
I'm seriously considering going to see Fugazi for the first time when
they come to LA in March. At $5/ticket, how can one go wrong? The List
of Bands That Allow Taping states that they allow aud & vid, but no
tripods. Does any expierenced Fugazi taper know if the tripods refer to
video tripods or does that include a mic stand as well?

FWIW, The Rolling Stones were in fact rehearsing at the Fillmore this past
week. The latest rumour have them still at the Fillmore on Saturday (23rd)
and possibly Henry Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland on Sunday (24th) -
reportedly, their equipment was moved to the Kaiser for a dress rehearsal
Thursday night. I wouldn't discount the possibility of a show tonight
(Friday, 22nd). Kaiser would make sense.
IMO, odds for 2 surprise gigs are slim as the tour opener is Monday (25th)
and the Stones haven't played 3 nights in a row in quite a long time.
Sorry for the lack of anything more concrete. The Fillmore show was
reportedly nixed because KFOG leaked the news and quite a bit of folks had
been showing up at the venue. However, this may just be a rouse and a show
may still happen there.
Hopefully, there will be at least 1 show and some enterprising/lucky
individual(s) will manage to archive the evenings proceedings. BTW,
reports have them adding a new variety of songs to the setlist. Good luck
to all and I'd surely appreciate a clone. thanks for the BW.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my SB Live! problem. It
ended up that I was only selecting SPDIF-in on the sound card. The Windows
recording device was still the line in. Once I set it to SPDIF-in (after a
call to tech support) it worked fine.
I am going to take the advice given by a few people though. I am going to
purchase a second deck in the next 2 weeks. I would like to get some
opinions so I do not make the D8/SB Live! mistake again (actually the D8
really hasn't been a mistake). Here are my requirements.
1. Coax digital I/O: for cloning from my D8.
2. Optical digital I/O: for possible copying from MD
3. RCA analog I/O: for mix down from my Yamaha MD 8 multitracker.
4. Make acceptable clones for trading in the DAT community.
5. Hopefully in the $600-$700 range.
It seems the choices are a Sony R300, Tascam DA20MKII or Fostex 5. Could
some owners of each machine give me their input? I think the D5 will be
eliminated due to the lack (I believe) of RCA analog inputs. They are a must.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Some DAT decks have been rumored to do this. :-)

Subject: Keeping backups
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 09:03:06 -0800
For keeping backups of your DATs after burning to CD, nothing beats data
format CDs and the Shorten program. First, with data, you get an extra
layer of error correction. Also, you can store any sampling format you
want, such as 48k, since you're merely storing an audio file. Finally,
with Shorten, a freeware lossless compression program designed specifically
for audio, you usually cut the length by 30% to 50% meaning you can
probably pack 3 CDs onto 2.
I feel very comfortable with data stored this way - much more so than a
finicky magentic media like DAT. As for longevity, while CD-Rs may not
last their advertised 100 to 200 years, I'm fairly confident they'll
outlast a DAT, which history has shown can start to degrade in as few as
five years-- particularly the 90 meter variety.

I was wondering if any 'gurus' out there can give me any advice as to
managing dynamic range when moving from Dat>cd - usually, after doing some
EQing I just run it through the Waves UltraMaximizer (16 bit cd final
mastering
settings), however I believe that more compression needs to take place in
order to enjoy some of the softer spots in the music during normal listening
conditions.
Any clues?

I use a MidiMan Digipatch 12x6. It has 12 independent inputs - 6 SPDIF and
6 TOSLink - and 6 independent output pairs - one SPDIF, one TOSLink. You
can program up to 99 different patch sets, where a patch set maps inputs to
output pairs . I use it to route between DAT, DAT, CD, MD, PC and DAC. I
shopped around and found one for $500 (Mission Recording in Georgia). It
generates *lots* of FM static, but is otherwise quite satisfactory. Runs on
a low power wall wart (9v, I think).
The Z-Systems Digital Detangler is quite nice, but retails about $1300. I
believe it handles AES-EBU as well.

Subject: the most effective way to back up your DATs & CDs...
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 08:15:12 -0800 (PST)
As Seth has pointed out on this list before, the most effective way to
back up your DATs (and CDRs and other media) is to trade them. This
spreads the risk out over all the copies that exist, and if they're true
digital copies, then the master and the Nth-gen clone should be identical
(or close enough for gummint work). It also keeps you in contact with the
trading community, so that you don't become a complete recluse.
btw, does anyone else share that sinking feeling that CDR is too easy to
do wrong - though not so difficult to do right? I like CDR for the
convenience, but I have considerable trepidation about trading in that
format. At least with DAT or analog, if the quality sucks, you can reuse
the medium (for your own internal purposes, of course). But there are
only so many coasters I need...

OK so there's a power pak for the d100s...now what happened to one for
the TCD-D8? About six months before I got the unit I was seeing on
compuserve
either plans to build one or someone supplying one that used
D-cells....but by
the time I got the unit, he didn't answer email and no one else knew.
So
sorry if
its was once an FAQ, but I've never seen the answer. Thanks

If you are interested, I build rechargeable battery packs for the D7/D8

If you are interested, I can send you all the info on it.

Hello all,
If some kind COlumbus, Ohio taper could PLEASE get in touch with me
I would be ever so grateful. I am going to a show on SUnday night and was
wondering if someone would let me borrow their mic stand. I have mics,
deck, pre-amp, etc...but the person I normally borrow a stand from is using
it this weekend. Not to sound picky, but one that can go between 12 ft and
15ft would be incredible. The show is Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds in
Meadville, PA, and in the past crowds have been rather loud. Thanks for the
bandwidth, and I hope someone replies-MIKE

With all the SBLive posts going around lately, I thought I would ask
about another alternative I may pursue.
Anyone hear of the new ASUS motherboard with onboard digital I/O?
There may be others as well, but the one I was looking at was for Super
Socket7 (AMD K2 support with PC100 memory). the model # is: p5a-b.
Here's the link:

Click on user manual for some detail on the digital SPDIF I/O interface.
Comments?
