All right, here's everything that's known. His current e-mail is
friedones@webtv.net. His alternate or old address he posted to dat-heads
with is l8rjerry@webtv.net. Presumably his name is David Dimartino.
His CURRENT web sites appear to be but not limited to:

He's been kicked off of various music groups for 3:1 trades and the like
but has not been heretofore engaged in the business of selling CD's. And
as to our poor analoger who blew the whistle, he is still getting
threatening letters from PUNKASS BOOTLEGGER in the order of the following:

I used to do PCM recordings in semi-swamps, bushland and rainforest
areas about 15 years ago. I used to use a Sony PCM-F1 digital
processor and a matching SL-F1E video recorder. (The recorder would
sit atop the PCM unit.) I ran these battery powered with 3
identical 12v Nicd packs. I could record for up to 2 hrs. I could
get 2 hrs out of 1 battery pack for the video recorder and 1hr per
battery pack for the PCM unit. I used Nakamichi CM-700 mics with
cardioid capsules, crossed at 120 degrees. I would lug around three
pieces of luggage: A hard plastic case which I lined with foam and
in which I carried the PCM & video units side by side with a piece
of cut foam between them to stop them rubbing; a 10-pin bowling bag
that held the 2 mike cases, folding mike cross-piece stand, 3 large
nicd batteries, headphones and a beta video cassette; a telescopic
camera tripod to use as a mike stand.
I got some lovely result. One morning in summer I went to a swampy
area near a creek at 4am. It had been raining that night and the
frogs were in song. In the first few minutes I got a little sizzle
in the mics from either the humidity or very slight rain but that
was the end of that problem. It was amazing to hear different
hungry baby birds starting up from different lateral and depth
locations in the soundfield; how as you sat and listened over the
space of about 90 mins different sounds would come to your attention
then be replaced by something else. That particular creek was only
200m away from my home in a southern suburb of Brisbane. Although a
freeway was about 2-3Km away, traffic noises was not a problem
although I picked up the sound of the paper delivery man driving
around the local streets and the thud of the papers as they landed
on the lawns.
I used to find it amusing that I would use this (then) high tech
equipment to sit in my lounge in suburbia and relax to the sounds of
nature. I do not have a portable DAT unit (lack of money - married
now with young children) but if I did it would be certainly be
easier to lug about than what I used to carry.
Oh, if your record in mozzie-infected areas, as well as putting
repellent on yourself, don't forget to put some on your mics (check
for plastics and repellent compatibility first) - the mozzies could
smell my sweat on the mics windshields and sometimes I would get
them buzzing around them. When listening back through headphones
it's hard to resist the temptation to slap the side of your head to
kill a mozzie.
Cheers, Dan Bridges.

Hi,
I recently taped one of their shows but unfortunately the battery in my
battery box was dying so it came out distorted. So, I would really like
to get a nice tape from the recent tour. Please let me know if you have

Both, you'll get slightly better performance form a SCSi hard disk over
IDE
(Mainly in burst transfer), also IDE can only comunicate with one device
at a time (on a single controler)
where as SCSI can comunicate with multiple devices at the same time,
which would be an advantage when using
a CR-r. (though generally this won't cause any problems with a IDE
setup)
Having a CD-r on a seperate controller would be better than having it
on the same on as the HDD's
>Would it be preferable to get two 6.4 GB ultra-dma IDE drives, or to
>get one ~6.4 GB SCSI drive for about the same price.
Probably the two IDE's (more space, which is a benifit when doing
CD-r's), the performance
for a SCSi disk isn't generally that much greater than an IDE disk.
>4.What is 'disk at once' I keep seeing. Does this refer to the schwag

THe entire CD-r is writen in one go, with out the burners lazer being
turned off between tracks.
this remove the need for start and End blocks(when the lazer is turned
off between tracks) , which
cause a short silance between the tracks when played.

There are two different 32 kHz formats, LP and SP. All decks can use
LP; only some can use SP. I don't believe that the DAP1 can write SP;
I don't know if it can read it.

Reply-To: Robert Ian Hoffman <rih5@columbia.edu>
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 02:28:34 -0500 (EST)
I've been having some CDR problems lately and hopefully someone can help.
First off, I have a Plextor 12/20 reader, Teac R55S 4x12, and an Adaptec
2910 SCSI card. I've been using CDRwin to burn. My computer is a
dell pentium 200 with 32 MB ram and some sort of IDE hard drive (which I
just defraged). When I first set the stuff up I had a problem with it
having a write failure
about 8% into burning. I toggled some things, followed the suggestions
given by CDRwin and the CDR FAQ. After that didn't work, I disabled
Norton Antivirus and
everything started working. At a later time I forgot to disable NAV and
it stopped after about 8%...I figured this was the original problem.
Except for
the one time when I didn't disable NAV I haven't had any problems and I've
burned some 10-15
discs...until now. CDRWin is giving me a write failure (in test mode)
around 8-11% into burning. Three attempts ago when I tried it
worked...but this was after repeated failures and the last two times it
failed to burn (test mode) successfully.
One other thing is that right now I'm attempting to burn a different disc
and it's at 60% with no problems. The disc I was having problems with was
73 min. long and had 22 tracks. I couldn't see any visual damage to
the disc. Which is another thing, CDRWin wouldn't
load more than 12 tracks at a time. I had to select the first 12 and then
the second 10 to load it into the DAO listing. Is this a common
occurance?
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate any input.

rih5@columbia.edu
ps In the past I've been able to run e-mail and Netscape while burning
with no problems. I don't think this has been causing the failures.

Hi Klay,
I assume this is the product you're talking about:
http://www.hhb.co.uk/cdrbulus.htm
The HHb CD-Rs are optimized for 1X recording on stationary audio CD
recorders (like HHb's). They're made by Mitsui, but they're not identical
to the Mitsui brand (or the other brands that Mitsui OEMs for that aren't
1X optimized). Do you know if these are still good for 2X or 4X
burning--have your or any of your customers (or anyone else for that matter
who might be reading this) used them for that speed? Does HHb have anything
to say on the matter?
[This was sent to Klay and posted to the list.]
Thanks,

Possibly, as the RCA inputs feed the same path, just downstream of the XLR
input that incorporates a good deal of circuitry. Also, if the latter
inverts the signal polarity mixing might be a problem. Would need to
actually measure the delay between them to be sure. But of course, since
you want to record the same signal, once straight from the electronics and
once via an (usually long) acoustic path, I'd say the problem is not nearly
as much the delay in the DA-P1 inputs as the delay caused by the PA-mic
distance.
Another concern is that the level balance between the XLRs and the RCAs
(two inputs, just one pot, see ?). If your purpose is to add some ambience
in your recordings, then you need to adjust this balance, and therefore an
external mixer is mandatory.

As a side note to Gordon Gidluck's reply, the DA-P1 can record at 32 ksps
but only with 16 bits / sample, which is a standard DAT mode running tape
at normal speed (the 'LP' 32ksps mode runs at half speed with 12 bits /
sample). It cannot read LP tapes either.
