SMPTE Recommended Practice RP-103 storage recommendations for video tape
(DAT tape) are 21 degrees Celsius, plus or minus 2 degrees (70F, = or - 4
degrees) and 50% relative humidity plus or minus 20%. Many degrading
effects are increased outside this storage window.

You should make them swivel so that as you lift the binoculars to look
through them, the mics stay perfectly inline with where they are pointed. :-)

hopefully we can work out a trade. I have a descent collection of Dat
tapes, and a huge collection of analog. I also have the ability to do DAT
and MD so i can accept the concert in either form. I am also looking for

Subject: falling prices on digital i/o
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 18:43:24 -0400
Hi all,
I've got some good news for people looking to connect DAT decks to their PC's:
First, I spoke with Sam Ash (1-800-4-SAMASH) on Friday and they are selling
Dat-ports for only $150. That's $100 under list, and $50 cheaper than any
other prices that I've seen. They only had 3 in stock at the moment, but
I'm sure they can order more for the same price.
Remember, this gizmo needs Win98 to work. Win95 won't do it, even if you
have the more recent release with USB support. (The Sam Ash salesman was
convinced Win95 would work but that is incorrect. Hence the perils of
low-cost shopping...)
Second, a few weeks ago I posted that Turtle Beach's Montego II soundcard
(with the separate digital i/o attachment, sold separately) would be
available for around $230-260 for the whole setup. I was wrong. The main
card is $99 list/$79 street, and I found out today that the expander card
will list "in the $79 to $99 range". So, around $160-$170 street price for
the whole she-bang.
In other words, it's only a few bucks more than a dat-port, and - oh yeah!
- it also works as a soundcard too. :-)
As Dave Egan pointed out in his own post, the digital i/o expander card is
not available and they've been promising it since last year. Without it,
the Montego II is useless as a digital interface. Their rep said again
today that they're shooting for a release "sometime this spring", so we'll
see. (Of course, spring lasts until June, and it may come out even later
so if you need something right away then this is not an option for you.)
Assuming this thing works properly (and doesn't auto-resample 44.1 like the
SoundBlaster Live), it'll easily be the cheapest digital i/o soundcard that
I know of. Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: D-100 questions
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 16:36:31 -0700
Thinking of trading in my D-8 for a D-100 since the D-100 has less noise and a
limiter on the mic preamp, and I have some questions.
1). Is the noise level on the D-100 noticeably less?
2). How good is the limiter on the D-100? Do sound levels get loud and just
don't get louder, or do they get loud and then drop down?
3). Is the limiter on the D-100 a true stereo limiter? (Sounds on the left
channel will not affect sound levels on the right?)
4). The local store will take trade-ins of equipment. It currently only has a
D-100 demo, and my D-8 is a couple years old with less than 30 hours on it
(only used for my wife's concerts and a few rehearsals). What should I expect
to pay for the D-100 demo and what should I get for my D-8? I am not looking
to not pay a lot, I just don't want to get reamed.
Thanks for any help.

Apologies for the grovel but... I have a pair of tix for Trey in
Binghamton, NY (row P) and 1 (slim possibility of a pair) for Trey in
Albany (row Y). I will do an even trade (and clones if you want) for 1

a taper ticket included in the deal.
Thanks!

Sorry for lack of DAT content, but I thought I should share this.
I have been using HHB and Mitsui CDR's to clone my DAT tapes to. I use the
HHB CDR-800 to do the burns. Everything has worked wonderfully but recently
I have had 2 discs go bad on me. Not from the burning or mishandling. They
have developed pitted holes on the printable(or writeable) surface. I take
great care of these discs and use a CDR pen. I never leave the discs laying
around or even leave them for extended periods in my cd players. What it
looks like has happened is a bubble has formed on the printable surface and
then it has flaked off!!!!! Don't get rid of those DATS just yet!
I thought I might pass this on and see if anyone else has had the same
experience. I have never really given much thought to putting a label on the
CDR's, but maybe we should be??
Are there any other media(s) out there that might be safer to use??? I was
always told that HHB and Mitsui's were the best.

So Len, is the "registered trademark" (which is normally indicated by
"(R)", not "(tm)") on "Stealth Microphones" or "Stealth Mics"? And is
it really registered, or are you just claiming the mark?
Anyone can claim a trademark by using (tm); actually getting it through
the trademark office to register it is a more challenging task.
Typically the trademark office will not issue a trademark registration
for a mark that is considered descriptive as "Stealth Microphones" is.

Hi all-
Sorry to keep posting about this band but here are the dates of their
upcoming shows. They are cool with tapers but are pretty new so they
might not be informing the venues. If anyone hassles you ask to speak to
Lalo (La-low) and he should hook you up. If you have good mics, I
recommend that you use them instead of patching into the board as I
recently did this and got a very uneven mix. The vocals of their MC
were turned up so high that it drowned out everything else. Also,
Ozomatli parades into and out of the show so you won't catch that if you
run off the soundboard. At the show on Saturday, the band took the show
out into the street and continued to play for another 10 minutes or so
before they went back inside. For those of you not familiar with this
band, they are a Funk/Latin/Salsa/Hip-hop band that is unlike anything
you have ever heard. Their shows are really fun. Lalo told me he would
appreciate copies of the shows if you tape them and that you spread the
music to others. Go tape them and contact me once you do so we can trade!
Thanks for the BW- Barin McGrath

Do you still have to get a digital sound card for I/O to the computer? Or is
it a
