Hi. I'm looking for a source of a pair of high-quality lapel-style stereo
mics that I can plug into my DAT recorder.
Mics should be small, provide excellent dynamic range, and be easy to
hide.
Any sources would be appreciated (please reply directly though, and I'll
summarize, because I don't read dat-heads on a regular basis.)

In a lot of ways, it's better than the 4021 (the cable is detachable,
which is a nice convenience; however, it attaches in back, making the
whole setup longer). They didn't exist when I got my 4021's, else I'd
probably have bought them instead.

1. Put the DAT in the D7
2. Closed D7. It felt funny, but not as if obstructed (by
incompletely inserted tape, for example).
3. Deck emits high, quiet whine. Turns self off after five or ten
seconds and powers back up almost immediately.
4. Will not unload, though it reads "unload" and might do it if it got
power for a long enough time.
5. Continues to cycle on and off as long as I leave plugged in or
batteries in.
6. Please tell me there's some kind of override button combination I
can push, or some way to open the damn thing.
7. If I was in the process of cloning something for you, it might be a
little while.
8. Anyone have any suggestions?
9. Thanks.

Regarding the ID requirements for getting into Canada.
All you REALLY need is a passport. The tourism office
might suggest that you need lots of stuff, but of the
hundreds of times I've crossed back and forth from
Canada to the US, I've never been asked to show more
than one photo ID that shows where I'm from. If you
can bring a passport and a driver's licence, then
you've got tons of ID and should have no problems at
all. The passport's good because it shows that you
were born in the US.
This is especially true at a big, busy borders around
southern Ontario/northern NY. Personally, I've never
brought a driver's licence (don't have one) or a
passport to a show, and have never been refused entry.
Nevertheless, play it safe and bring 2 pieces of ID if
you can.

the last 56 mins of the show - would like to get the first 3-4 songs. Got
the first 56 mins w/ Sound Pro Premium Cardiods (AT853's) w/ battery box

Subject: ***** Will trade PHISH Tweeter 7/13 for YOUR Tweeter 7/12 *****
Date: Tue, 08 Jun 1999 21:47:04 PDT
Well, I've been getting "phish"-teased left and right from the
alt.music.phish newsgroup, so I thought I'd try my luck here.
If anybody, I mean ANYBODY, would be willing to trade your July 12 Tweeter
(formerly Great Woods) ticket for my July 13, I will make it more than worth
your while.
I live around Atlanta, therefore I will be taping the 7/3-4 Lakewood shows.
I'm flying up to Hartford around the weekend of 7/10 and was only able to
catch ONE Phish show up 'ere! I had bought one originally for 7/13 because
I had something else going on in New Haven on the 12th, but then it was
canceled. (In case you were wondering, it was the other "Fish" - formerly
of Marillion).
So now I wanted to trade for the 12th because now it ends up I'm going to be
flying back from Boston to see Ozric Tentacles back here in Atlanta (their
first US tour in 5 years - can't miss the home gig!) Man, travelin' light
-- it's the only way to fly ;)
I will spin copies on DAT or CD-R (your choice) the 7/3-4 Lakewood shows and
AT LEAST ONE of the Tweeter shows as well as trade ticket for ticket.
Please lemme know if you can help me out. Nice, crispy tapes are looking
for a new home :)
Peace and music,
Brian

I've been to this place 3 times now over the last 4 years and their policy
stands as follows
NO MIC STANDS ALLOWED UNDER ANY CONDITIONS (unless your with the band).
They make no exceptions even if the band allows/encourages taping (or if
there is a taping section).
It is the venues decision and their insurance wont allow mic stands.
GOOD LUCK

Hey all,
Due to my girlfriend coming with me instead of another taper, I've
got 2 Tapers Tickets to each of the three New Jersey Phish shows, Camden
and 2 at the GSAC. I'm looking for someone to trade with, individually or
as a set, I entertain all trade options. I would like this person to run
my D100, it will be a digital patch with Lithium Batteries and 60m tapes.
The tapes will be unpacked and things will be ready to roll. So in light
of that, I'd like to make the trade in person, no fear I'll be there early.
So email me and let me know. Thanks,
Jay

Hey Dan ! I had DMX for awhile and recorded straight to DAT.
This was 5 years ago and at the time it had no digital outs.
DMX since it was analog output based had a bad problem with
ocassional "pops" that would interrupt thaw whole song. This was
random and unpredictable as to when it would happen. More during
the work day. I recently got out a DAT tape I made from this
time and it was "fuzzy" compared to my Satellite >analog to DAT
recordings ! I erased it !!! So your best bet is Digital Satellite Service
!!
Although you could call DMX & ask if they have digital outs now.
I doubt they have taken care of the "pops" though since it is a land
based service connected thousands of cable subscribers. Digital cable
is now in some areas but same land based concept. I have installed
hundreds of D.S.S. systems and you have a "direct" personal connection
to a satellite 23,331 miles in space !!!! No links or connections to other
subscribers such as cable. Satellite is the best on the market for TV &
Music.
Installing "Home Theater" for a living I see first hand what is the most
consistent & best bang for your buck GO satellite you'll be happy !!

Hey Allan ! Your best bet would be to buy a "half rack space" compressor
such as DBX or ART offers. Found at most Pro. music stores. They run
off of lower voltage "wall warts" anyway and you could design a battery

Hey Dan ! I install Digital Satellite for a living ! (& Home Theater)
Yes you can use the Digital outs (Co-ax & Optic) For recording
straight to DAT or Mini-Disc. All "multi-song" broadcast's such as
Radio & Satellite do have a layer of Dynamic compression to balance
the levels of song that are broadcast. You will notice it most on Heavy
or Hard Rock & least on Jazz or Classical or any other "lighter" music
styles. You'll get the best sounding recording using the digital outs
from the satellite receiver because you are not going through a 2nd
analog/digital transfer. Enjoy ! .....:::::DOUG:::::.....

Hello Klong ! Here are some tips for recording live classical music.
Use a "condenser mic" this is powered by a "AA" battery and meant
for distant recording. If your mixing board has "phantom" power you
do not need the batteries. Place your mic's -4- is best around the
symphony. If you can record from a balcony that is best. Since classical
music is often very "dynamic" (very soft to very loud) you might want to
consider -very slight- stereo compression. This will keep your mic.s'
from "clipping" and creating a "popping" during the loud parts of a song.
Set your "threshold" on the compressor so it activates only during these
parts. Keep you levels between -6 to -3 db on you DAT recorder, leaving
you a "3" decibel safety margin to avoid digital distortion. This will give
you
a nice clean recording for loading into a computer for digital "mastering"
and CD burning ! Good Luck !! .....:::::DOUG:::::.....
