Hello,
Im looking for quality recordings of the recent SnoCore tour--Especially
Atlanta. There were lots of rigs there, but it also happened to be my
bachelor party night so I wouldn't want to mess with it. If anyone has any of
these shows and would like a trade see my list:

I need to part with my little used D-HS5. It is a just like a Tascam DA-20
with the additional benefit of supporting both optical and coax digital I/O
as well as 96k recording on standard DAT tapes (it also does the standard
32k/44.1/48k too). It also has a DAC passthrough mode for both digital
inputs and the analog inputs as well. --In an always pimpy gold
inish. --cosmetically and functionally perfect.
It was in a separate room away from my "real" audio stuff and was used for
play only. I have the orig box, but no remote. It uses the same remote as a
DA-20 so I used a learning remote to control it. I would like to get $300
for it. I prefer paypal, but will take money orders or certified checks.
It can be seen here: http://perso.club-internet.fr/farzeno/piodek.htm
Feel free to ask questions. dh@speakeasy.org or dhagewood@mailandnews.com

Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 20:32:28 EST
Hi all!! I have an AES/EBU source and I need to send it to two separate
recipient decks at the same time- both about 30 feet away. Does anyone know
how to split the digital audio? Can I just "Y" split the XLRs with wires
right out of the back of the source deck? Or is there a modestly priced DA
for this purpose?
Also (and I'd really freak if somebody had the answer to this one), is there
such a box that will take an Serial Digital Interface signal and "break" it
apart separating the SDI video signal from the four audio channels that are
in that one jack? It would help me alot.
Thanks in advance.

Agreed this is a great motherboard, but I wouldn't recommend it for use
with a ZA2...I built a system around this board, installed the ZA2, and
was beset with channel swapping problems, which I never had before.
Apparently the culprit is the VIA Chipset drivers, but updating the
drivers didn't help. I think all Athlon boards use these drivers, but I
could be wrong...am I?
If you're willing to use recdat in DOS mode all was fine, though.
ZA2 is gone now.

Subject: Tascam DA-302 / DDS Incompatibility
Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 23:15:46 -0500
FWIW, I've used ONLY DDS tapes in my DA-302 since I bought it in 1998 and
have had NO TROUBLE AT ALL with them. I've encountered only one difficulty
similar to the problem that was recently posted about having the deck
repeatedly try to spool up the tape. This was due to a worn drive belt that
was - according to Pro Digital - something that will eventually occur with
normal wear and tear. It was repaired, no problem, and I've haven't another
problem like it since. In my experience, DDS tapes - both 90 meter and 60
meter (I use primarily Sony DGP) have worked wonderfully in my DA-302.
Obviously, my unit is one of the first generation DA-302s. I understand that
some improvements have been made with the more recent versions but I
seriously doubt that the compatiblity with DDS tapes has changed.
My 2 cents,
Paul

Subject: DA-302 tape problems
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 21:41:08 -0800
I've never had any problem with any DDS tapes in my 302....Actually the
only time I have problems is when tapes don't have ABS time on them, you
can't do a dub, because the deck thinks the beginning of the tape is
really the end and just stops. I use all different kinds of DDS's in the
machine, Maxell, KAO, Quantegy, Sony's, 90 and 60m and never ever had a
single one snap, or have screwey problems (knock on wood) SO...at least
IMO DDS tapes aren't the problem. Anyone else with a 302 have any
problems??? I'm sorry I'm not that much of a help..However I don't do any
ff/rw or playing with that deck...its my baby, and only used for dubbing.
I let my DTC 700 do everything else.....I'm surprised how well built the
700 is though...the DTC-700 plays with no audible errors and has ~5000
hours of play time on the heads, and I've used a cleaning tape maybe 5-6
times, and not in at least 500 hours, plus it fast forwards and rewinds
all of my tapes. That thing is a tank...

Sonically, what manufacturer makes the better deck?
I know the PCM-700 is probably more than a DA-40 but take the 500 for
example which is probably around the same price.
Reason being I bought a DA-40 last month and I want to know if I wasted my
money on an inferior deck.

Out of curiosity - I was comparing Tascam and Sony decks just from cosmetics
in catalogs and what not.
I am curious, do any of you professionals out there from the recording
industry know if the SONY PRO division manufactures the Tascam decks?
By picture the buttons look in different places but I wonder if the parts
are the same.

Reply-To: chris@tomkidding.com

Honorable DAT-heads...
For the longest time my studio has been equipped with both a Tascam
DA-20 and a Sony TCD-D8. The TCD-D8 has served me well in doing field
recordings, while the DA-20 has served me well in transferring those
recordings to my PC's digital IO card. I used to use the DA-20 for
plenty of other things, but it seems that lately all of my archiving is
being done on CD-R. So now, 3 rack spaces in my studio are being
occupied by something that is really only being used as a digital output
"proxy" for my digital-output-challenged portable DAT. If I could just
get a digital output solution for my portable DAT, then I could sell my
DA-20 and be left with both money and rack space to spare.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......money. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......rack space......
So, my plea goes out to you all. Who has and would like to sell to me
the fabled and mythical "RM-D3K" that seems so damned hard to find at
any audio / music stores? If you possess the elusive "RM-D3K" but are
not ready to sell, can you at least advise me on where and/or how I can
purchase this item. Do you know of a dealer?
If I can't get hold of a RM-D3K, then I'll resort to the 7-Pin-To-Coax
cable offered by Core Sound
(http://www.core-sound.com/7-pin-coax-blurb.html) or the DIGI I/O-P
cable offered by Oade Brothers Audio
(http://www.oade.com/dat/audiocenter/oadecable.html). But, I'd rather
spend a little more and get the other added features of the RM-D3K.

No, it has to do with those pesky laws of physics. The headphones are
coupled closer to your ear canal and therefore better imaging and frequency
response are achieved. What kind of speakers are you using? Those toy
things that come with that computer and are some people's benchmark for
"quality sound"? Then check the bass boost switch on the MD player.
Also, the "effect" you experience has nothing to do with the X-Y mic
configuration.

The channel swapping is a problem that I identified with Greg years ago when
I first got the card. It has to do with either IRQ or DMA release time.
Usually it can be solved by turning off auto-insert-notification on your
CDROM drives. However, the VIA chipset that the ABit boards are based on
are known to cause problems with the ZA2. I have not had a chance to put
together a system with the ABit boards yet, although i was planning on doing
so sometime in the next few months.
How is tech support on the ZA2 these days? I have not had a need to call
for support in years. I literally bought mine from Greg himself and used to
call him directly with problems. I imagine that as the company has grown
and the board has gotten wider distribution that it is not quite this easy
anymore.

Hi,
So recently I've been reading here of nightmare stories about venues here in
NYC. I've been taping here for some time now, and luckily I've never been
confronted with security (well not for taping at least). What venues are
all these problems occuring? How do you think you were caught? Were patted
down walking in? Were you playing with your rig throughout the show? I've
always found that joyrigging yourself before the show in a bathroom stall,
along with setting your level QUICKLY and leaving them alone, works well on
not even being seen by your neighbors, then walkout normally and de-rig in
the cab home. Let's try to learn from these expierences so the archive of
live music can grow.
Thanks for the bandwidth,
