Hey folks-
Just looking for a nice copy of their NYE show, hopefully a board or some
nice mics (schoeps, b&k, etc). I've got two recent biscuits shows (1/30/99)
and (2/3/99) for trade. Otherwise B+P is cool. Hope someone can help,
please reply by email.

Your point being.....how great '98 is? We'll see on Jan. 1st, now
won't we. You know I wasn't gonna let that Mac crack (hey, I made a
rhyme) go unchallenged. Seriously though, yes, I'm a Mac man, but due
to the nature of my work (LAN admin), I'm also a Windows NT guru. I
have a clone similar to yours (well, only the processor, all my
drives are SCSI), and run dual-boot Win '98 and NT Server 4.0. I'll
admit there's good WIn audio editing s'ware out there, but I guess
your bragging point is the multitasking. Hell, I've had Bias Peak
running Ionizer on an AIFF file, while burning a CD with Adaptec Jam
with no problems and my Mac is an older PowerMac 7300/180 (no G3).
But, that aside, I'm curious why you think your way of importing the
audio to hard disk is more efficient than dumping digitally from DAT
to hard disk (I use a Digidesign AudioMedia III card). I don't see
your way as being more reliable either. Are you insinuating that your
CD-R is a more reliable transport than a $1000 or more DAT recorder?
Elaborate, oh great Win '98 guru/DAT Store salesman.

This just kind of irked me. What is the point in posting a comment like
this to this list? I suppose by writing this response I too am wasting
bandwidth, but with two posts of this nature in this digest(see beasts
CSN&Y comments) I just felt like responding. I don't figure that there
is anything for me to gain as far as recording goes, from one persons
personal oppinion of what is and what is not worth listening to. And for
some reason or another this person is looking for some information about
a Deck that a friend of his has loaned him. I don't have the answer, so
I didn't reply.

Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 21:45:51 -0500 (EST)
Hello all, I know recently (within the month) somebody posted on how to
normalize files and such on Soundforge. That person also said that there
is some kind of noise reduction scheme where you sample a bit of the noise
that you want to get rid of (for instance, the silence inbetween songs or
something) and then you apply it to the rest of the file. Does anybody
here know how to do this? I can't seem to find the original post and I
checked the archives too.
Thanks a bunch!

This may sound very elementary, but whats the difference between
coaxial and optical? I'm going to buy a sony home stereo, and it has 1
optical out(not enough). The DAT has coaxial digital in/out(R500). What
do I do to run these pups into eachother?? and to a harddrive??
Also, what are prices like and how do I know what to look for and
purchase without going broke? (I'm sure this is a fine crafted art :)

Subject: re:hard drive
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 22:26:12 -0500
I'm not a computer expert, but I do own or work on both platforms daily.
SCSI should work for both machines, assuming that the pc has a scsi card.
I'm not sure whether there are card to hard drive compatibility issues for
the PC.
Unfortunately, I don't think that it can work on both machines at once.
What I mean is that they both use the same hardware, but format the drives
differently. The PC is iso9600 and the mac is HFS format. So, you would
have to format it for one, use it, and then format it for the other. Well,
this is not quite the truth. You may be able to PC format it and then
bring it over to the mac. If the mac has the correct extentions (I think
that it's PC exchange and it comes with most versions of the operating
system), it can easily read PC disks. I'm not sure if you'll run into
problems recording to the PC disk on the Mac and I've not tried it, but I
don't see any problems.
You just need a SCSI drive, nothing special. They're pretty much all fast
enough nowadays. I'm not sure that you can find a new 1 gig drive. The
magazine that I'm looking through has 2 gig as the smallest. The 4.5 gig
7200 rpm drive is $230 internal, $290 external, so that fits well within
your budget. If you get the one in the box, you don't have to worry
whether the drive is compatible with your current box.
I've burned fine with both a Quadra 600, which is a 68040 processor and a
486, so I know that both are fast enough.

Have any of the better-heeled dat-heads had any experience with the
Neumann RSM 191 and the companion MTX 191 matrix amplifier? On
paper, this looks like a great setup for single-point overt taping, but we
don't listen to paper. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with real-world
experience with this setup, and in what acoustic conditions it works best.
TIA,

hey,
Does anybody know if Apple CD-ROM drives can rip audio in a truly
digitally way? I kind of figure that they don't... but really I have no
idea.
Also (somewhat related) does anybody know if you can cause a consumer
Phillips standalone CD-R to not put down SCMS? Again, I kind of figure
that this is also inconcievbable...
thanks for listening.

I think you mean A>D, not D>A. Outboard A>D converters are generally
better than the ones built into decks. (The same is true of outboard
D>A converters, but people don't generally listen that critically
while taping.)

I just saw an add in one of those fancy-smancy "audiophile" magazines
for a place (guy?) making custom wooden cabinets for DATs, CDs, etc
and wrote down the info:
Per Madsen Design
(800)821-4883
The photo in the add showed what looked like a nice solid cabinet (for
CDs). I have no affiliation but I was going to call him and get more
info. If anyone can comment on these cabinets I'd be interested.
He's based in San Francisco.
Rhetorical question:
What's worse, posts about "my mics are better than your mics" or posts
about "Dave and Tim"? ;)

I simulated that in my D8 using my Multiwav DIgital Audio pro.
I did several secs of no SCM and then switched to NO MORE COPIES ALLOWED
and
the tape went to a pause mode and the SCMS warning appeared....
So sorry but my DAT does not have that "problem"...

Just back from Mid-West shows with Big Wu and Galactic in
January, Schleigho continued their winter '99 tour tonight in Albany,
NY at Savanah's (nice little club near corner of State and Pearl down
the street from the Knick Arena, come check it out some time forJazz
and blues if you are in the NY, VT, MA area). Killer!
AKG481>Beyer MV-100>DAP1 center of room 10' from the stage
beautiful!
1st set got started nicely, but the band dug in their heels for the
2nd! Real deal, old schoolkeys (hammond and rhodes), Gibson 175,
frettless electric bass, and drums! If they play near you, check 'em out,
they've been playing the scene for awhile and keep getting better.
Taping allowed! Audience, Video, maybe a SBD with early arrival
although their regular sound man is off in Austrailia presently so
you will probably be dealing with your local sound guy.
Anyone who tapes any of these shows, I have plenty to trade! Please
contact me privately through email listed above.
