Hi All,
I guess people can go bad, but just to let you know, he hooked me up
with tix to the Worcester Phish shows last November. I sent him a money
order up front (like about $90) and he then sent the tix (in a timely
manner). I've never dealt with him other than this but he could have
just kept the cash but instead sent out the tix. YMMV, good luck!
Peace,
Sean

Hi Again,
Indigenous, from what little I've heard, a great sounding SRV type of
sounding blues band (and from what else I understand, a band of brothers
and sisters who are Native Americans from North Dakota). They will be
in town (Rochester, NY) on Thursday April 29 and I would like to tape
them. Have any of you heard of them and/or know what their taping
policy is? They are not listed in the BTAT list.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
Peace,
Sean

Subject says it all. Unfortunately, we didn't get to catch the show (Neil's
my wife's alltime favorite), so to compensate for missing the show, I'd
love to get a copy for her. I'm a unidecker, so I would have to do B&P if
anyone could be kind enough to spin me a copy.
Thanks in advance...

Noticed a new item in Musician's Friend catalogues: Whirlwind Portable
Phantom Power. Provides 12 to 18Vdc using two 9V batteries, has LED
indicators. Possibly sufficient for some some mikes, including older
Sennheiser shotguns with impossible to find batteries. Please publish any
experiences.

hey,
I recently saw the message about DVD players and I thought I'd throw my 2
cents in...since I work at this site, take the info for what its worth, but
if your interested, check out this link to a high-end Toshiba DVD review
that comes highly recommended from someone who knows whats up in the
industry.
http://www.e-town.com/buy/theater/viddisc/articles/toshibasd9000kma.html
The site is in a young stage and doesnt yet have that much info on taping
and DAT portable equipment yet, but I'm working on that. A new version of
the site goes up in June, and I hope that there will be alot more DAT
related stuff by then.
Sorry for the bandwidth.....

Hello all,
Here's some updated Ozric Tentacles tour info:
May 7 1999 8:00PM WETLANDS NEW YORK NY
May 8 1999 8:00PM WETLANDS NEW YORK NY
May 15 1999 9:00PM THEATRE OF LIVING ARTS PHILADELPHIA PA
May 21 1999 9:00PM ODEON CLEVELAND OH
www.tickemaster.com has this info.
This band is great! A Progressive - Eastern - Reggae - Jazz fusion!
And... they allow soundboard access. I'm not talking a mono hollow
sounding feed. The soundman (does anyone know his name?) mixes a
great sounding stereo patch. The shows I have by this band are by
far the best sounding tapes in my collection. (Not to take anything
away from the great tapes I have from Gary Davis.)
I'm going to try to make it to one of the New York shows to tape.
I'd like to go to both New York shows AND the Philly show but it's
going to be hard enough to make it to 1 show (because my personal
schedule sucks).
I'd like to get as many, if not all, the shows from this tour as
possible. Anyone taping them - please let me know.
** To anyone offended by this post and to those that feel
** this is lacking in DAT content please accept my apologies.
All the best,

Not to be stuffy or anything, but "Stealth Microphones" is a registered
trademark of Core Sound. Mics made by other manufacturers may be small
or unobtrusive, but they are not "Stealth Mics."

Subject: Soundforge Corrups, Watch Out!!!!!
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 09:18:17 PDT
I rebuilt my entire f*uking PC because I was getting audio glitching.
Many PC literate and DAT/music literate folks gave me thousands of
suggestions from replacing my hardware to tweaking Windows 98/NT. I
painstakingly swapped out ALL of my PC's hardware, and reloaded my
machine several times to no avail. Who would've ever thought it was
software!! Well, it was. Soundforge XP 4.5 was corrupting my wave
files everytime I would re-write the file (ie: EQ, normalize, etc...)
I get glitch free audio with Samplitude, Cool Edit Pro and Wavelab
everytime. So, watch out for corrupt versions of Soundforge out
there!! I think it's a .dll issue of non-compatability. Anyway,
Soudforge sucks, the other programs are not as "destructive", and are
faster when manipulating recordings you will be burning to CD. So I
flip the bird to Sonic Foundry, for costing me major $$ and time, and
many bad CD burns......... DON'T USE SOUNDFORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about AKG C-1000S mics.
Would a pair of these make quality live recordings? I have a couple of MMW
shows recorded with these and they sound pretty suite. Is around $300 a pair
for mint condition used AKG C-1000S a good deal? Any other mics you would
suggest over them for the price? Hope someone can shed some light. Thanks!
Greg.

Subject: Limiter for DAT
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 09:54:19 -0700
Anyone know of a good, cheap stereo limiter or compressor that I can use with
my Core Sound Binaurals and my D8 DAT portable? I generally record live
acoustic classical music that goes from a whisper to glass shattering opera
belts in the same song, so I need something to keep the quiet sections from
being lost in noise and not distort loud sections.
I was thinking it would be great to put some sort of limiter between my mics
and the D8 so that I could turn levels up and still not distort during the
occasional really loud sections. I don't want to do the compression after the
fact because I end up amplifying noise.
I am recording these to make demo CDs, and I want to make CDs that will work in
any environment (like a car), so losing some dynamic range doesn't worry me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig

********
I apologize for not being clear and explicit when I originally posted this
message. Radio Shack has an external battery that was designed to power
portable CD players that operate on 2 AA batteries. M1s also run on 2 AA
batteries - therefor this battery works on the M1. The battery plugs into
the AC connector and can be recharged by the M1's AC adapter. RS claims
that it can operate for up to 20 hours per charge and can replace 5,000 AA
batteries - yes, I said 5,000.
I have used it for two shows and it definitely got me through a Panic and
Galactic show - no problem. When the battery first came out, it sold for
$40. Now it is on sale for $20. It is roughly the size of a CD jewel
case. It will not power a D8 or SBM 1.
I hope this clears up any confusion that I caused.
Adios,
JLD

This is an inappropriate analogy, because people can reliably tell the
difference between such video monitors.
There will always be people in marketing departments ready to sell
better and better systems with more and more "bit depth" and sampling
frequency. Better to concentrate on things that really are in need of
improvement: microphones, loudspeakers, and especially listening
rooms!

Subject: Sony MD Report and MD Report Jr.
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 16:28:14 -0400
I just got a Location Sound flyer with some interesting products from Sony for
field recording:
Sony MD Report and MD Report Jr.
Finally, an acceptable professional interface for the current generation of
consumer portable DAT and MD recorders. Let's face it, those Sony Walkman DAT
recorders sound OK, but the flimsy connectors and poor monitoring capability
leave much to be desired. The MD Report and Junior have solved that. The MD
Report turns the consumer portable DAT or MD recorder into a rugged, fully
professional portable recording system. All you have to do is slip your
recorder into the MD Report housing, connect the power and audio cables and go.
The MD Report comwes standard with carrying case and strap, internal
rechargeable battery and a charger. Here are the main features:
Stereo mic/line inputs on XLR connectors
High quality mic preamps
Summed Mono Output on XLR connector (MD Report only)
stereo output on 3.5mm minijack
headphone output on 1/4" jack
mic/line input selector
48v Phantom Power
low battery indicator (MD Report only)
stereo/mono switching
source/record/line monitoring via headphone amp level control
built-in monitor loudspeaker (MD Report only)
6-8 hours battery life from internal rechargeable battery or 4 D-cells (MD
Report only--dual 9v for MD Jr.)
If you need greater portability, then the MD Jr. may be for you. It offers
most of the same features as the MD Report in a configuaration the same size as
a TCD-D8 or MZ-R3, and will sit just below the recorder in a twin compartment
carrying case. If you don't want to lose portability but want to upgrade your
consumer recorder, these two units will do the job quite well.
MD Report Retail $679.99
MD Report Junior Retail $349.99
It appears the MD Report will make a D8 about the size of an HHb Portadat or
Tascam DA-P1.
