Did anyone out there get tapers tickets to either of the Dave Matthews
shows in St.
Louis? I have down front tickets and was wondering if someone with a
tapers ticket
might be able to bring in my deck and some small mics. I had trouble
last year getting
in the door with out a tapers ticket and anticipate the same this year.
I would be
happy to return the favor in some kind way.
Peace!
Steve

Subject: Maxell Response on DDS Tape
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 16:20:41 -0400
As promised, here is the response from Maxell regarding the use of DDS tape
in DAT decks. I am expecting similar letters from Sony, Denon, Tascam and
three other tape manufacturers. I will post this info on DAT heads as it is
received.
I have converted the actual letter into a PDF file so anyone who is
interested in receiving the original letter need only e mail us and request
it.
Thanks for your continued understanding.

Dear Mr. Kozlarek:
This letter is in response to your correspondence of5/14/99.
Maxell's official position on using DDS tape in a DAT audio recorder is as
follows:
Due to design differences between the two products, we absolutely do not
endorse the usage of computer backup tape in a DAT audio deck. Prolonged
usage of this product in a DAT machine can cause damage or premature wear to
the recording heads resulting in costly repairs. In addition, any damage
caused by the aforementioned usage, would void Maxell's Full Lifetime
Warranty on the product and exclude Maxell from any liability for any
damages incurred by the misuse of this product.
In closing, no one representing Maxell Corporation of America has ever
disclosed nor endorsed the incorrect fact that these two products are
identical and can be safely interchanged.
Regards,
Rich D'Ambrise

Subject: Quantegy discontinuing DDS tapes???
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 17:06:59 -0500 (CDT)
Just got home from a trip to my local recording media supplier, and was horrified to learn that
the Quantegy company, (formerly Ampex, then Ampex/Quantegy) has been sold yet again and is no longer
going to manufacture 4mm tape formats, in either DAT or DDS grades.
My supplier is now offering a hell of a price on them as closeouts, and I'll be taking full
advantage of the deal, but they will run out eventually.
I'm needing a reliable substitute at less than DAT prices. Same old story . . . Any suggestions?
Off to search the web for confirmation of this ugly story,
Stan

Subject: Ground hum problem
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 18:42:55 -0400
I just set up my new mics to test everything out, and I have a ground
hum that's causing me some concern. FWIW, I'm running a pair of AKG
C1000 through Canare cables, and then to a XLR>RCA balanced>unbalanced
converter, then through an RCA>1/8" convert to my D8. It's not exactly
the straightest way of getting there, but all the converters are very
high quality gold interconnects and shielded cables. Anyway, it appears
that the RCA>1/8" converter is giving me some problems, in the right
channel. If the cables aren't touching, I get this very bad ground
hum. I don't have one of those cheesy plastic RCA>1/8" converters
available to test and see if that gets rid of it, but if anyone else has
ever had this problem, I'd appreciate hearing what you did to fix it.
I'll be taping my first show this Saturday, so I could really use some
quick help to fix this problem.
thanks,
Aaron
Ps - I forgot to mention, the RCA>1/8" adapter is the Radio Shack gold
one, if anyone's familiar with that.
