Hi, I'm quite new to the DAT-Heads list, and also new to DAT. I'm
looking for an inexpensive DAT deck. SCMS must be ignored/overridden,
XLR I/O is not important, but the deck must be reliable. I have about
$700 to spend.....Any reccomendations?
Thanks,
evan

There was recently a post about this unit on sale for $300. Well, it is
likely a great unit for the price, but it only uses audio CDrs which are
damn expensive (~$2-3 each.) It does not accept the computer CDrs that
most of us use.
Just an FYI.

I have an unknown gen cassette board of this. I dubbed it for a friend the
other day, and I was curious if anybody here has a cleaner copy. Thanks in
advance. Alan

Hi Melissa (and all),
We have seen several reports of this exact problem recently.
Now, first and foremost, most DAT recorders are two head units and like
2-head cassette decks, while recording, they only reveal what is going into
the machine. ***LEVELS on your METERS WHILE RECORDING are NO GAURANTEE that
you are actually getting anything on tape.*** If all is going well, of
course you will have a tape but there are several problems that can occur.
Dirty heads make bad tapes: However, they don't reveal themselves until it
is too late. It will appear that all is going well during the recording but
upon playback, you will be disappointed. Dirty heads frequently create
digital noise and dropouts on a recording. Worse yet, they can be so dirty
that they do not actually write anything to tape.
Tape Misloads: While I haven't seen many reports of this in years, I am
starting to see a recent trend in the past couple weeks. Unfortunately, it
seems to be specific to SONY DG 60 (and possibly 90) P tape. Without
condemning SONY tapes, we will continue watching for this issue. A few
folks have mentioned this problem to us lately and they have noted that
occassionally the SONY tapes, when ejected from the machine, are coming out
with the tape shell door stuck open.
One common symptom of a misload, dirty heads (or whatever is at the source
of this issue) is the machine's failure to write A-Time. Ejecting the tape
and reloading it may solve the problem. Another technique of bygone years,
when we used to use the Panasonic SV-250's and 255's was the "load check."
This machine was notorious for not getting the tape in the guides properly
and consequently leaving tapers with useless tapes.
Load Check Procedure:
Record a minute, or so, of audio. Rewind. Playback the tape. If audio
is present on the tape, you are okay. Just don't power down the deck again
as the power cycle will cause the machine to reload and it could go wrong
the next time. This won't be fun to have to do just minutes before a show
but it will indicate that the tape is loaded properly.
FWIW, we have been using a lot of SONY DG 60&90P's in our home/studio decks
with 100% success.
Of additional interest is the new SONY DG 90 Premium tape. We just received
a shipment of these and they are working beautifully in all of our machines.
As we do NOT want to create a scare about any given tape type, we suggest
taking a little extra care to perform the "load check" discussed above to
assure your tapes are loading properly.
We would appreciate any feedback regarding tape problems. Please forward any
tape any reports to us at nutter@sonicsense.com
Happy Taping,
Marc

Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 19:15:14 EST
hello there everyone and still digging out from the storm
need a reliable contact to do (mostly) Jazz shows from the BBC Radio 3
station. this is usually on Saturday nights from 2330--100, but some other
programs during the week sometimes pop up. You will need to have a strong
and clear signal, please. IF you don't have DAT, then analog would be fine
also.
upcoming in particular----Evelyn Glennie doing her "jazz setup" Wed 3/14
19:30--21:30 this airing is from her live show the previous night!!
Steve Lacy 4 Saturday 3/17 2330--1 from Empty Bottle, Chicago
anyone who can help me out on this, whether it be a one-time thing or an
ongoing committment, would be much appreciated. [if you can't do it, but
might know of someone who could, please pass this along to them and/or me.]
Thank you very much
TOM

Subject: Potential SBM-1 problems??
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 01:14:06 -0500
I was taping a show tonight, and for the first time I had a non-human error
problem with the recording and I am unsure of the cause of the problem.
Just for the record, the equipment being used for the recording was Schoeps
mk4->Huber Box->SBM-1->M1. I have been using this gear for some time with
very positive results, thought tonight things did not happen as planned.
After the first set I turn the light on the M1 and notice that the right
channel is pinned. I did a little whistle to see if I got any response from
either channel, to no avail. I then took the deck out of record mode and
placed it back in record mode, the right channel was still pinned. This got
me a little worried. I went outside and tightened all the cables being used
and everything was fine. During set 2 the same thing happened, this time
only about a half hour into the set. I am now home and listening to these
spots. My recording goes from a very clear recording to all of a sudden,
static. It sounds similar to something you would get from having your amp
set to radio, but no antenna plugged in...though the sound is much higher
pitched. For a few minutes you can hear muffled music coming from the right
channel, then it's complete static. Every few minutes a huge blip of noise
will shoot through the left channel, almost like loud diginoise, but it's
much more heinous(if something is possible).
Is this a problem with the SBM-1, or the Huber Box?? I got home and set the
Huber->M1 and recorded a few mins, sounds fine. I then turned everything
off, plugged in the SBM-1 and rolled off a few mins, sounds fine. Could
this be a coble issue?? I recently purchased a pair of 1 fot Audio magic
Presto II rcas from Marc Nuter and I've been nothing but happy with them. I
always tighten the barrels very tightly before getting to my spot. After the
first set it looked as though everything was connected very correctly. The
actives from the mk4->huber were surely tightened and did not get loosened
at all.
What could be the potential cause of my flawed recording??? Any ideas would
be happily accepted.

hi
the reunited blake babies are touring -- i hope other people are getting out
and getting the shows down! the set i caught tonight at the knitting
factory ran at a perfect 1 hr 13 minutes. my results (dpa 4061 > m1) were
really strong, already on CDr.
drop me a line if you would like to swap for other blake babies or juliana
hatfield recordings.
