Is it to be trusted to make bit fer bit copies? The manual is a tad

Wouldn't it be nice if one of the major suppliers, like HHB or Tascam,
would produce a portable CDR with XLR balanced analog I/O, AES/EBU
balanced digital I/O, no SCMS, and a rechargeable battery with a life of
4-6 hours on a full charge?
Just a thought...

Hello!
I am looking to buy a new sound card and I was definately looking at the
Terratec EWX 24/96. Has anybody on this list actually used one of these
units? I'd like to know how well it performs on computer games (yeah,
sometimes even I have to play Quake 3 against my friends *G*). Is the card
able to defeat SCMS? If yes, can I use it as a SCMS stripper (connect DAT
deck #1 to the digital input and DAT #2 to the digital output and let the
card strip the SCMS signals)? Would you recommend this card?
Thanks in advance for your help!

An Exclusive Social-Drama Recording
Just posted a 19 minute super high quality (27 MEG) MP3 file that's a virtual
reality surround-sound ambient tour of Shakedown Street recorded in the heart
of Deadhead Land 1993.
URL: http://www.sonicstudios.com/dedhland.htm
INTRODUCTION:
Friday evening (after the next to the last Eugene Grateful Dead Concert) in
the campground inside the Autzen Stadium (Eugene, OR) parking lot.
If you have ever experienced (or never experienced) what 'Shakedown Street'
was about, you're in for a treat that is without equal, as those who have
been there will (only partially) remember.
But, like those who claim to have experienced the 60's, if you remember
'Shakedown Street,' you probably were not really there!
Here's an opportunity to "be there again" for the first time!
Comments very welcome about posted recordings like this; there's a lot more
waiting in the vaults!
Regards in Sound & Music Recording,
Leonard Lombardo

It tries to, but you can't make perfect copies disk->disk unless
you're lucky. It's better to use EAC (www.ExactAudioCopy.de) to
extract the .wav files, then burn them from hard disk.

Reply-To: "Marc Nutter" <nutter@sonicsense.com>

Hey All,
We just wanted to let everyone know about some recent developments with the
SONIC AD2K+.
As the information on our website http://www.sonicsense.com (or
http://members.telocity.com/~nutter , if the first one isn't working) has
generated a ton of questions, we wanted to share a few new insights.
We are having great experiences using of the AD2K+ in 24-bit mode in
conjunction with the Digigram VX Pocket and SONY Vaio laptop. As the 2K+
allows us to record in 24-bit and 16-bit at the same time, we have been able
to make DAT tapes at the same time as recording to the VAIO. In listening
to the results, the difference is stunning!!! We can now offer comparison
CD's to anyone who has a 24-bit soundcard (like the SEK'D Prodif Plus) or
outboard DA converter, like the Lucid DA9624, and 24-bit capable software
like Sound Forge 5.0 or SEK'D Samplitude or Red Roaster.
Contact us at nutter@sonicsense.com if interested in copies.
Specifically for DAT users:
On a similar note, we have been able to study the word-length reduction
modes quite a bit further. By using the AD2K+'s digital through mode, we
are taking the 24-bit recordings, playing through the AD2K+ and comparing
the seven 16-bit word length reduction modes. While we still like the 16NS3
mode a lot, I also suggest checking out the 16NN2 setting as we are finding
that it most closely resembles the 24-bit source.
Happy Recording Everybody!!!

they're selling 25 packs of cdrs for 22 bucks. when you order you get your

Project on 4/21 at Higher Ground in Burlington, VT. I'll be there, but I'm

Subject: Best "Y" cable for D-8 daisy chains?
Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2001 18:58:06 -0400
I'm sure this subject has been around the bush a few times, but of course I
never paid attention until now that I actually need a cable. I'm looking
for recommendations on a daisy-chain in/out SPDIF cable for my D8, 7-pin to
RCA male & RCA female. I found the RK-DA10 modified cable ($129) offered by
SonicSense, and the 7-Pin-Coax-I/O cable ($50) from Core Sound. But the
best so far looks like the 7-pin shielded cable from American Digital for
$119, at http://www.american-digital.com/s7io.html. Anyone have any
feelings about the worthiness of these three, or any other recommendations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

The best advantage of the 828 is that you can use it with a PowerBook to
record almost
anywhere. It's even got a two good mic pre-amps with XLR/TRS
connections and coax S/PDIF
input/ouput, so you could get a killer 24 bit recording of show with
some great mics or
patch into a chain if need be.
I've got the MOTU 2408mkII, which is nicer interface for a desktop
computer. Of course,
this is more professional than most people need, since it costs $850+
new. But it's also
nice not worrying about bad synch and resampling problems.

Absolutely! Dvd seems to be where the convergence is starting. Ps2 will
already play all dvds and audio cds. It also happens to be a linux box,
although nobody has exploited (in the good sense of the word) its uses that
way, they are there for the taking. Another popular linux box is the tivo.
Expect microsoft's xbox to take it a step further. Regardless of my personal
feelings about microsoft, you are most likely going to see more convergence
as ms is likely to join their "new" ultimate tv (they recently bought replay
tv) with the xbox, which will most likely run windows xp. At that point you
have a single box that will be a computer, a powerful video game, a tv time
shifter, play dvds, cds, mp3s, wmas and wavs. If it can take a high-speed
network card it might jus replace the home pc for 40% of the homes out
there!

Warren

Technology IS amazing.
But will everything come together so that you can access every thing from
one unit??? i.e. computer + television + DVD + CD + MP3 player ...... +
PlayStation II (III?) ..... on writable / playable disks ..... , let's say
mini disks, (I have a couple audio CDs. I think they're about 7.5 cm in

I have a DA-20mkII in perfect condition with all
original packaging, manual, etc. that was purchsed
from Sonic Sense about 3 yrs ago. I'd like to trade
it for a D8 or comparable portable in similarly
excellent condition.
My deck has very low head hours for being 3 yrs old.
Used mostly as the play deck when doing clones. I have
never had any problems with it at all. It's been a
great machine.
Also have an Audio Magic Presto II digital coax cable
I'd throw in for similar connectors for a portable.
Any questions welcome.
