I inquired about this show a few months ago, and I
received a couple of responses. None ended up panning
out. I have about 4 hours on cassette! and am looking
to upgrade. If someone has the complete gig (both
Philly and London), I would like to hear from you.

If anyone has any new equipment that they want field tested, please contact
me. I will be doing shows all over the country this summer. I will be
seeing shows on the Phil and Friends, String Cheese and Further Festival
tours from NY to Ca. I will be taping everything I go to.
I just love testing new stuff out. It's fun :)

Dalton clearance sale!
I'm on my way to stealthing down, so my 4011's are on the hit list. I'm
pairing down to the 4022 (what? you thought I was getting away from the
B&K's?? And buy what?? Schoeps?? Yeah.....NOT!)
With that thought in mind, here is the deal. I'm selling the 4011's (orig.
price $4500), plus the Audio Magic Sceptor II cables (orig. price $150) and
the AT8410 shockmounts (orig. price $100) all for $3700 firm. I'm losing
almost $1000 in a little over 2 yrs. All of this equipment was bought new
from Sonic Sense (11/98) and I have reciepts to verify. Alot of you know
the sound that these incredible mics produce and I hate to part w/ them,
but.....
Either way, thats the offer - hit me when your ready!
BTW - the 4011's are a FACTORY MATCHED PAIR, they cost me more, but they are
totally the same mic.
Thanks All.

For each track that you want to burn on your CD, create a separate .wav
file. Each should be sampled at 44.1k, 16 bits, stereo. When burning onto
CD, be sure to use disc-at-once if you do not want to have 2 seconds of
silence between tracks.

I find it more efficient to keep the whole .wav intact, using CDWAV to set
track breaks and create a CDRWIN cue sheet, then burn the disc with
CDRWIN.

Is anyone taping this 4 day festival next week? Can't recall exact days,
but I am very interested in getting copies of Yo La Tengo, Eleventh Dream
Day, and especially the reformed Television. I think there are a lot of
other cool bands playing as well. Are there any indie-rock tapers in the
Chicago area even on this list?

Subject: The ol` tape stuck in the deck problem
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 17:59:28 -0700
Hi all,
Well this is the first time i`ve had a tape stuck in my trusty Fostex D5 in
the 5 years that i`ve had it.
I put in a fresh Maxell DDS tape, hit FF to unpack the tape, it spun till
07:00 on the meter & then stopped dead. Won`t eject, won`t do anything. It
does flash OPEN about 10 times, then the display stays steady as OPEN. Any
recommendations? I`ve just had it serviced about a month ago. i suspect the
tape broke, but i am afraid to poke around too much inside the machine.
Don`t want to mess up the delicate transport system. I wanted to hear from
a few other datheads before i send it off to Pro Digital.
thanks very much,
Mike Parker

I recorded leftover salmon monday night and i've never had a worse night
taping. THe guy i was plugged into the sbd and i asked him if he had given
anything alisten and he said it sounded fine when the house music was goin.
Well, his batteries died before the first set was over and it sounds like
nothing else i've recorded. It sounds real great for a couple minutes and
instruments get louder and voices fade and all kind of stuff. Well , i'm not
into the whole editing thing but i know i've had some shitty shows folks have
done wonders for and i'll be happy to send whoever feels they can fix this
show from 4 9 01 state college pa at the crowbar holler at me and i'll mail
em out to ya, all i'd ask is for a copy back. Thanks in advance for the help.

I cannot copy from my TASCAM DA-40 into the CDRW33 as it says "Cannot Copy"
on display. And in back of manual it says "Not consumer Digital Format".
Why on earth does sony list this on their site as a Pro recorder when it
can't even record SPDIF. I have never in my life seen something like this.

Hi All,

Having helped design the MP-2 with the folks at Sound Devices, I wanted to
clarify a few important points about the Sound Devices/Shure connection.
When we started the MP-2 project, Sound Devices only had a single unit in
production--The MP-1, a single channel pre-amp with stepped gain and no
level meters. I tested a pair of these against a Lunatec V2, as a
reference, along with a Schoeps CMXY-4V. While the MP-1's (and now 2's)
are not as revealing of depth and detail as the V2, they maintain a tight,
clear definition in the bottom-end and a forward mid-high that gives
presence and clarity that nicely complemented the test recordings and many
we have made since then (now utilizing the MP-2).
As we liked the sound of the original units, I worked closely with Sound
Devices to assure that we, as tapers, got a design and feature set that
would benefit us considerably in both regular recording and low-profile
endeavors ; ). Yeah, those lights are painfully bright, but at least they
gave me the off position I requested.
Then, with that design in place, Sound Devices tailored the MP-2 into
another product called the MixPre for the film and ENG industry. While they
look quite similar, be aware of the following:
A MixPre is NOT an MP-2 in disguise.
The MixPre has a 14db lower clipping point on the input than the MP-2 does.
It is NOT designed for recording high-volume Rock and Roll.
It will distort when fed with hot output microphones under high SPL
situations.
The MixPre has two stages of switching. As tapers, most of us do not need
panning capability which requires
a switch. We agreed that this could be left off the MP-2 for an overall
cleaner circuit (ie. improved sound
quality of the MP-2)
The MixPre has features that tapers do not need; while the slate, internal
test tone generator, and panning capability
are great for film and ENG folks, they do nothing for us (sort of like
those painfully bright lights (Sorry, Jim : ) )
On a final note, the Shure FP24 IS the MixPre with the Shure name on it.
I have heard reports of some dealers promoting the FP24 as a less
expensive alternate to the MP-2. If they are doing so, they are indicating
their lack of experience with these items and they not promoting what is in
the best interest of a concert taper. List price is the same on these.
I hope this information helps everyone.
Happy Recording,
Marc
