Hey all,
Both the Tascam Tips-N-Tricks page and previous posts on this list have
said that one can monitor the error rates on the DA-20 by turning the timer
to "repeat play" and holding down "record mute" and "open/close."
Well, I've tried that and it's not working for some reason. Do I have to
turn the deck off completely first? When do I hit "play" in relation to
those other buttons? I'm sure I'm overlooking something very obvious.
If someone could contact me and help me out, that'd be great.
Thanks

"Hi, I was wondering the applications of each these patterns (when would =
you use cardiod over hypercardiod and vise versa)."
The hypercardioid is more directional than the cardioid. It works better when
the hall acoustics are bad (the hypercardioid will pick up less "mush/mud") and
can also be used to cut back on crowd noise, etc (like if you can't put your
stand up 12+ feet). Since the hypercardioid is more directional, the
positioning is more critical(IE aim is more impt). If you're stealthing
hypercardioids it is more critical to hold still than if you're stealthing
cardioids. From the phish tapers section, I think the hypercardioid is
generally a better choice unless the venue has really good sound to begin with.
This generally isn't the case in basketball type arenas from the tapers section.
Phish FOB is another story, then the cardioid is a better choice(its less
susceptible to movement, plus FOB generally sounds better and less muddied than
further back). At smaller clubs it depends more on the situation. If the sound
is good and the crowd is well behaved then the cardioid will probably give a
"fuller picture". If the sound is muddied and/or the crowd is rowdy then the
hypercardioid (aimed properly of course, generally at the stacks or towards the
outsides of the stacks for a slightly better stereo image)will pick up less
mud/mush-mush as well as less crowd....Pete

The tape should already be playing when you hit those buttons. (Hold
record mute before touching open/close, of course.)

I was talking ot the service rep that's looking at my M1. He says whatever is
wrong with it is in the tapes, tapes being Sony DDS tapes. He said that they
are not recomended by Sony (no supprise) because they have a require a
stronger signal to encode the music. I was unaware of this fact, and haven't
seen it anywhere else. The only difference I knew was that they are cut from
different parts of the drum, and the DDS had to be certified. If anyone knew
about this or have any other info about it, I'd be interested. Or, mabye the
guy didn't know what he was talking about.
On a side note, I've found the service to be decent with sony. Even though
they had me send it to the wrong place, their still going ot pay retun postage
and the guys gonna clean it. That's a plus in my book.
Anyone else seen Sony audio 60m DATs at Circut City?? Only $14.99 a piece!!
I don't get it, they sell DATs, but no recorders...
Thanks for the bw,

A man after my own heart. I posted previously regarding Gary's
opinions on standalone recorders vs. a soundcard, and he never
replied. I feel he's adding another step of possible signal
degradation by going from dat to standalone-cdr to cd-rom of pc and
then to hard-drive (??). And then back to dat? How the hell were you
doing that again, Gary? So many steps I forgot...

"i have recorded 4 or 5 concerts so far with my csb's siwtched to bass-roll
off. they are still too bassy. i have to end up cutting the bass in cool
edit, which takes for ever. any suggestions?"
Check with Len to see what value of capacitors he used(or just ask him if his
bass rolloff box was designed assuming line in or mic in(of a sony portable)).
Line-in and mic-in have difn't impedences so the capacitor value (the two
capacitors in the bass rolloff box)chosen depends on if one is going line in or
mic in. If Len picked capacitors assuming you would be going line in, and then
you go mic in it may not work/vice versa(once I did the math but I forget the
trend now). For more info on this check out Marcsounds web page- it gives
formulas, etc....Pete (assuming everything checks out and your tapes are still
too bassy, perhaps you need to swap out capacitors to roll off at a higher
frequency)

<<The D5 is physically identical to the DA20mkII. However, the D5 has
superior I/O, with fully balanced analog and digital. It also has
SPDIF optical.>>
Quick question, when I saw an advert in London for the Fostex D5, the sign
mentioned that it was Tascam, despite also saying "Fostex D5" - so is Fostex
owned by Tascam? Since both machines are physically identical, it made me
wonder if Tascam manufactures both machines and if it owns both the Fostex and
Tascam brand names (or if it's Fostex owning both brand names)... just curious
about this.
Most importantly though, will either machine work with the Sony D100, as I
do'nt have the PCM-M1 machine that Andrew mentioned using with the Fostex D5.
I know that I need to get a good home DAT that will avoid the SCMS problem,
and it seems that the Fostex D5 and the Tascam DA20 are the best quality &
value decks to use... any other suggestions are of course appreciated.
Thanks

It's true; but did he say just what the difference is? DDS tapes are
spec'd to a higher coercivity than audio dat tapes, but the difference
is trivial. (DDS tapes are within the spec for dat tapes.)
