Howdy :)
I just got my tix for D&T at Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, CA...
section 104, row A. Balcony. Not great taping seats. Is there anyone
who's got center floor seats that might be so gracious as to share a mic
stand?
Take care,

Well, I work for Kodak so you could take this as me being biased, but I've
had nothing but good results from them (assuming they are the gold ones with
the infoguard system). Saying that, I've got my system nailed down so tight
as the moment, the only ones I've had a problem with were TDK's (and that
was 2 coasters out of a box of 25).

I agree completely with Dan on this one. It's not like this is someone using
illegal software and asking how to do something because they didn't buy the
manual. The method is:
1) Hold down the CLOCK/SET button for two seconds: CLOCK will appear.
2) Press the RESET/+ button once: ID6 SET will appear.
3) Press CLOCK/SET again: ID6 will appear with 00 flashing (on mine at
least)
4) Use + & - to cycle around the codes until you get the one you want
(you'll be looking for 00 I believe).
5) Press CLOCK/SET to finish.
And talking about asking questions about software when you should have a
manual:

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Paul. The method is to load the
wavefile. Then goto PROCESS->Normalize. Hit scan levels (which goes through
your wave looking for the peaks). When it comes back it will give you two
values. If you want to just normalize this track to its most powerful (not
correct terminology but you know what I mean) then make sure MAXIMIZE TO
PEAK VOLUME is selected next to name and press OK. It will build an UNDO so
you can test the result. If you are compiling a CDR of music, then select
NORMALIZE TO -16 dB (MUSIC) next to name (and do this for each track you are
going to cut). Then press OK.
Now some news of my own. Bought a TB Fuji the other day. The card was an
absolute bitch to install under '98. For a start it doesn't appear to even
come with '98 drivers. Then the non-P&P setup for '98 assumes the card is a
load of other things than it is before give you option to load in a driver
of your own (win95 gives the option of loading your own driver before it
takes a best guess). Finally I loaded in the fuji 95 driver along with what
98 thought it was, and everything seems to be okay. Sould quality is A1
(coming in from Turntable->Amp->Analog). I picked the card up for $190 brand
new including 2day shipping, forgot the name of the company but they are on
the net. Mail me if you need details.
If anyone want DAT's putting on to CDR, drop me a line. If it is a show that
I'd like to get a copy of, I'll do your transfer for free n/incl cost of CDR
& postage.
Finally, does anyone use the American Digital 7pin->COAX? They have a Dig-in
for $55 or a full duplex (actually, two seperate COAX's) for $66. Any
feedback on build quality, quality of the transfer etc?
Many thanks, Andi.

Bruce Eisenbeil, a New York cutting-edge guitarist and composer, leads the
Crosscurrent Trio, a modern, exciting, and highly original trio with bassist
J. Brunka and drummer Ryan Sawyer.
The trio explores a contrast of material with a wide range of moods, emotions
and colors. Eisenbeil has performed with William Hooker, Roy Campbell Jr.,
Sabir Mateen, Daniel Carter, Steve Swell, Jackson Krall, Christina Wheeler,
and many other jazz explorers. Eisenbeil has appeared at the Texaco New York
Jazz Festival, Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Buffalo Interprov Festival,
Philadelphia Mellon Jazz Festival and the Trenton Avant-Garde Festival.
Eisenbeil's trio with alto saxophonist Rob Brown and drummer Lou Grassi played
to enthusiastic audiences around the country last year, following the release
of their CD Nine Wings (CIMP 144). David Lewis in Cadence magazine
says,"Eisenbeil escapes the usual fretboard constraints in a virtuoso
engagement with sound that transcends style." Larry Nai in Jazziz magazine
calls him "Tantalizing". Steve Holtje in CMJ New Music Monthly states, "One
of the thrills as an observer of any scene is spotting the new talent early.
Downtown denizons are quickly getting excited about guitarist Bruce Eisenbeil
. . . and one listen to his distinctive guitar approach on his album Nine
Wings(CIMP) confirms that he comes from no particular school but instead has
built a fresh style. His single-note lines are knotty and unpredictable, and
he'll sometimes dwell on chiming, dissonant chords for several bars."
J. Brunka ( contrabass) recently returned to his hometown of NYC after
studying at college with Jay Anderson, Lynn Seaton, and Sue Hall-Powell. He
plays jazz, R&B, and symphonic music, and looks forward to continue music in
all environments.
Ryan Sawyer is a drummer who approaches music as a constant jump from entirety
to nothingness. Hailing from Texas, Sawyer moved to New York over a year ago
and has studied the ways of music making with Bobby Previte and Thurman
Barker. Among those people he has developed a musical relationship with
include saxophonists Daniel Carter and Sabir Mateen.
Plerase come out to a show.

As exciting as a CSNY tour may be, it pushes back the reliably-
rumoured further collaberations between Neil Young & Phish.
Crazy Horse and PJ are very good bands, but (IMHO) Phish was/is
the most *musically* superior band that Neil has every played with,
and the collaberation showed great promise by being more than the
sum of the parts...

Subject: Cable question
Date: Sat, 6 Feb 1999 23:17:43 -0500 (EST)
Hello,
I have a cable question for those in the know. I recently purchased a
pair of Oade's ProLink Standard 100 monster XLR -> XLR cable. If I run my
Nak 300's to a BeyerDynamic MV100 with the mics _off_ and listen through
the line out jack on the MV100 with the 60 dB setting I can just barely
hear a faint radio station (The beyer by its lonesome does not produce
any radio stations that I can hear). Obviously this is not a desired sound
effect and would most likely be masked by loud music if recording a
concert or what not, but I'd rather not want to have it on the back of my
mind. My question is, should I return the pair and purchase a pair of
Audio Magic cables? Would this solve my cosmic radio station problem? Any
other suggestions? Thanks for the help.

hello all,
I have an extra oade brothers digital cable i/o active for sale...
brand new, never used (bought as a gift, which my friend already had)
email me w/ a reasonable offer.
Also, I already asked about this before but was wondering if
anyone had any better suggestions. I recently taped an acoustic duo from
their "soundboard/mackie mixer" > my sony d8. My peaks were no higher
than a about a 12? or so. At some points it produces a "distorted"
signal. Now, I was told the signal that the soundboard passed was too
strong for my d8. Since I was the only taper, I was wondering if there
was any way I could salvage this show. My question- Since i am not that
educated w/ cd-r software/burning, is there any programs that could
diminish or remove this while converting to a cd or another DAT? would
anyone be willing to help me with this?
And, I'm always looking for a trade(s), take a look at my list.

If the problem was digital overload (clipping), there's software that
can help (but I don't know which). If it's analog distortion (as it
appears to be, if your levels never reached 0), then I don't know of
any software that claims to be able to help.

Greetings all,
I have decided to sell my Neumann KM-184 cardioid microphones and buy
a pair of KM-140's with active cables.
I bought my KM-184's from Sonic Sense last July. They have been used less
than 10 times. I am selling them because they are a bit large to stealth
record with although I can attest that it is definately Possible.
I paid $1,200 and will sell them for $1,000. I will throw in the 1 meter
pair of mic cables I had custom made with Neutrik 90 degree right angle
XLR connectors. (an $80 value).
If need be I will trade them in on the KM-140s but i thought I'd try here
to see if anyone was interested.
Thanks for the bandwith.
