Subject: PCM-M1 Problem
Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 12:42:32 +0100
I recently used my Sony PCM-M1 to record a concert and found to my surprise
when reviewing the recording at home later that severe distortion (clipping)
was caused whenever the sound level reached -5 decibels or above.
During the recording, although listening on headphones, this was not
apparent. Having initially adjusted the level BEFORE the concert to give
about 6 decibels headroom, this was unexpected and disastrous.
I admittedly, did not use the MIC ATTenuation switch (20 dbs) as it didn't
seemed necessary.
Why would clipping occur BEFORE the sound level reaches 0 dbs?
The microphone was about 40ft from the sound source (a pipe organ).

>>
Beginner's error, you likely not do this again.
No problem with the deck or mic, just your deck's setting should always
include the (L) or 20 db atten setting (in MANUAL mode) for recording
ANYTHING that's PA'd when using the mic input.
There's a bit more about this you need to know and consider.
My site's Tips page explains how to avoid distortion on all portable decks by
selecting proper settings. See: <A

hey can binaural recordings be digitally tweaked using
Cool Edit or Sound Forge so that the playback through
speakers can sound more punchy and upfront , like
a regular stereo recording ?

Subject: FS: Magnolia Festival ticket (Oct 15-17, Live Oak FL)
Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 18:49:55 -0400
If anybody is looking for an awesome, magical weekend getaway to the
Suwannee River, look no further...
I have one ticket for the Magnolia Festival in Live Oak, FL taking place
October 15-17. This ticket is good for 3 days of music, camping, and the
best fun money can buy (I promise you that! :)
I bought my ticket during the Early Bird mail order period, which was $60.
This price includes ALL THREE DAYS PLUS CAMPING (a great bargain for sure!)
A 3-day ticket at the gate will run you $70. I will save you $10 if you
buy it off me for $60. There will be open taping all around the venue, so
bring your mics, deck, tapes, and cables and other cool recordin' gear! GO
CRAZY!!! :)
For more info on bands/schedules/directions/other info, go to:
http://www.magmusic.com/
If you especially live around the Atlanta area or will be attending this
weekend's Harvest Festival in Fairburn GA, I can arrange to meet you there
Saturday. But I will sell it to any kind soul who is looking for a good
time along the Suwannee.
Talk to y'all soon!
Peace and music,
Brian

Subject: Mother Hips & Vinyl tour dates
Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1999 16:39:21 -0700
Just wanted to send notice that MOTHER HIPS and VINYL are now touring separately in and outside of their native California. Both bands are very taper friendly as I've had the privilege of taping both (on separate occasions) from the soundboard. But bring mics if you have them since I would guess some of the venues listed below might have substandard boards. I'll have MH's 10/6 and Vinyl's 11/6 gigs covered but will be interested in trading for anything else, particularly the gigs that MH are headlining.
Thanks for the space -Rob.

Subject: DA-30MKII Woes
Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 20:07:35 -0400
Howdy all,
I have a few DA30MKII Questions. I hope someone can help with some of these.
1) Is there anyway to get around the 90m tape limitation of the DA-30 aside from
sticking bubble gum in the hole of the DAT tape. My DA-30 will not play 90m tapes.
2) I can SPDIF dub from my DA-30 to my DA-P1 but not the other way around.
If I try it looks like it is recording fine but I end up with a blank tape and no time code.
Any ideas? It used to work.
3) I have a VERY early DA-30MKII (first one my dealer had - large dealer) but it has
VERY low hours on it as I usually us my other decks. I figure I should update the
firmwear. Does anyone have the HEX or JDEC code to burn my own PROM for this?
I am assuming there is a 27Cxxx or some such EPROM/E^2 or similar inside i need
to change.
Thanx

Subject: ISO: Used Mics/Stand
Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1999 21:14:04 -0500
Hi there,
I'm looking to buy a possibly used pair of cheap mics with a bass roll-off -
I picked up a D6 for a song and I'd like to add some decent mics, and a
stand. I have a 9- foot stand, but it somehow got a kink in it, and it
leans to one side a bit, and I would hate for it to fall over causing
problems.
Also, Is there any way to get a pair of mics/bass roll off for $150 or
under? I spoke with someone at Radio Shack (bleh.) and they tried to sell
me on a pair of $50 Shure Omni Cards, and he said they wouldn't need a bass
roll off since they could go from 40-20,000hz freq. response (I don't think
he knew what he was saying). He also said I"d have to buy one of their $50
mixers to use two mics with one stereo unit, and that I couldn't run a Y
cable because it wouldn't sound right. How do you guys do it? What would
you reccomend?
Anyway, I'm sorry for sounding ignorant, I'm just confused.
Thanks guys.
Peace,
-Joe

Going to see Widespreadpanic at the Warfield on 10/14, 15 & 16.
Does anyone know their taping policy. Do they allow stands, do they have
a taper section. Do you need to stealth.
Also, do you know if they play the same set list every night.
Thanks for the help.

Will a battery be drained when there are multi decks patched out?
Tonight, I actually used AA batts in my M1. I had an analogue daisy
chain coming from my deck and I went thru almost 6 "AA" batts in a 3hr
show. I usually use a power pack for "C" but I didn't have it tonight.
What's the deal
