hi. years ago, when they had just come out, i bought a sony
tcd-d3. a few years later, it was stolen. i have just come
scross the original battery, strap and optical cable from my
original machine. i don't want them.
make me an offer that's at least the cost of postage and they
are yours. bonus points for interesting barter items :) in
the end, though, the most important thing is that i get rid
of them!

hi all
this is off topic but can anyone help me out with the audio side of video
cameras for recording gigs?[either Hi8 or miniDV] can someone point me
towards any websites?
will recording loud gigs overload either the internal mic or the pre-amp for
the external mic?
for miniDV cameras, are there adjustable sound recording levels[unlikely] or
is there just some form of built in automatic gain control? or neither?
cos this is OT mail me privately, thanks!
luke

Hey Folks-
I'd like to make a battery pack for my AD500, easy enough but what amp hour
should I use. I don't want to add any extra weight if I don't have too. What
size batteries do folks use for the average show 3-4 hours ? Obviously if I
need festival power I can run a bigger battery. Any suggestions ?? Thanx

Hey Now,
I just wanted you all to know that I got this virus on my home computer over
the weekend. My Hotmail account has NOT been infected. I was gone all
weekend and was checking my Hotmail account yesterday, here at work (against
our work policy) and I had a note from my buddy Brian saying that I had a
VIRUS on my other email account.
Like I say, I was gone to 3 shows all weekend and did not get home until
3:00 AM yesterday morning. I have NOT sent ANY emails from that account
since 4/13/01. And I have NOT sent ANY from that account since I got home.
The VIRUS is a worm virus that sends out notes to any unread emails that I
have. I did not have the time or energy to fix this problem yesterday, but I
will be working to get it fixed ASAP.
So if you get or have gotten ANY notes from me from this addy: DRider
hawkwind@mediaone.net DO NOT OPEN IT.
PLEASE just delete it.
I know that several others have been hit by this virus too. I got mine from
someone on the digiphish group.
When I opened my email yesterday. I had a couple VERY nasty notes from
Christofer Martel.
Dude, I am not sending you infected files. This is the nature of the virus.
I have not sent out ANY email from my mediaone account. Please don't trash
my B&P package, as you threatened to do. Sending me nasty notes over
something that I can not control will do no good. It will however piss me
off and if I get anymore notes like it from ANYONE, I WILL post them to the
respective lists from which they came for everyone on that list to see. It's
just not cool!
I am sorry to take up so much space, but I am trying to help you all from
getting this virus.
If someone could PLEASE copy this note and past it to a new document and
send it to:
FrogBrigade@yahoogroups
Digiphish@yahoogroups
It would REALLY help ALOT!
According to the McAfee website, the fix is in the version 4134 dat file
update. That file is due out this week (Thursday). Unless you wait until
Thursday and download that update, you have no choice except the manual fix.
Check the hyperlink for details.
Peace,
Darrin

There is another e-mail attachment virus on the lists right now, as well.
It is called :
W32/Badtrans@MM
It is a worm. It returns information from your computer to it's originator.
This is no joke.
More info is at:
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99069&
DO NOT OPEN E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS THAT YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING !
And, set your mailer to NOT auto-open attachments.
Good Luck.

Subject: How To Fix Badtrans & Ethan Virus
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 14:51:01
This was just sent to me by a friend.
I hope that it helps!
Peace,
Darrin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you received an email from Chris Imburgia with an attachment, and tried
to open the attachment (even if it reported an error!), then you most likely
have the following viruses:
W32.Badtrans.13312@mm
W97M.Ethan.B
The problem is, most virus programs DO NOT DETECT the W32.Badtrans virus! In
particular, I tried McAfee VirusScan, Computer Associates InoculateIT, and
Command Virus, and they reported my computer as clean, when I know for a
fact it was still infected (Outlook was still sending email worms to people
that emailed me).
The one product I found that detected both viruses is Norton AntiVirus. You
can run this virus scanner for free at
http://security.norton.com/default.asp?productid=sarc&langid=us&venid=sym
Since it is free, it will only report the viruses and won't fix them for
you. Write down the location of the infected files.
To get rid of the Ethan virus (which only infects Word documents), you can
either delete the infected documents (and then don't forget to empty the
Recycle bin!), or get InoculateIT from http://antivirus.ca.com/ which will
disinfect the documents. However, that program won't detect or fix the
W32.Badtrans virus.
To get rid of the W32.Badtrans virus on a Win2k system, you need to do the
following. Restart your computer. Hold F8 while Windows is starting up.
Select "boot in safe mode". After it has booted, open a command prompt and
delete the following files:
The file C:\WINNT\hkk32.exe is infected with W32.Badtrans.13312@mm
The file C:\WINNT\INETD.EXE is infected with W32.Badtrans.13312@mm
The file C:\WINNT\system32\hksdll.dll is infected with
W32.Badtrans.13312@mm
The file C:\WINNT\system32\KERN32.EXE is infected with
W32.Badtrans.13312@mm
The virus also leaves some entries in your registry. This will cause Windows
to report an error when you start up, because it can't find the files you
just deleted. Here's how to fix your registry:
Go to Start->Run and type regedit.
Choose Edit->Find and look for "kern32.exe". Delete all occurrences of the
file.
Choose Edit->Find and look for "inetd.exe". Delete all occurrences of the
file.
Restart your computer, and everything should be nice and clean.
James

Subject: ultra-fatty, superdank windscreens
Asked:
> What would be the next step up for wind protection for a pair of Neumann
> KM140s?
Air movement at or near the pick-up vents of a directional microphone causes
wind noise. This movement is not related to the audio, which is a separate
complex pressure wave. If the air can be slowed down or its effect on the
microphone cancelled out in some way the wind noise will be greatly reduced.
An excellent method is to enclose the microphone in a hollow, acoustically
transparent basket or shield, which surrounds the microphone with still air.
The physics is complicated to explain but this helps to cancel out a great
deal of low frequency wind noise. In addition or alternatively a long-fibre
Windjammer can be used which slows down the stream of noise-producing air
and reduces the amount of turbulence-generated noise near the microphone.
These techniques have very little effect upon the performance of the
microphone. Of course no material is completely transparent to all audio
frequencies and the physical proximity and finite size of the shield will
have some effect on the directional properties and frequency response.
We sell the best. Rycote. A setup for a stereo MS pair with suspensions is
about US$700. An excellent compromise would be the use of two Rycote
"softies"; US$125 each without mount. Please call for more details.
See:

Thanks!

For this application, the Neumann KM100 series would probably be a better
choice for a miniature mic. They are more sensitive with a slightly lower
noise floor. Until you go to a larger diaphragm mic, you are going to be in
the 25-28db noise floor. I suggest also looking at your preamp specs to
insure proper matching of mic output to source impedance.
Thanks!

I just bought a new computer and I'm looking for a souncard to go from
dat>CD. I do not know much about these devices but I've seen there is a
large range in price and features.
Can anyone send me a recommendation on a soundcard for around 200 dollars or
under that will get the job done (if there are any)?
Also, does anyone have any info on the Midiman soundcards offered by core
sound at http://www.core-sound.com/#PRODUCTS

This is kinda right and kinda wrong. They all use the same transducer; they
differ in impedance and purpose. For a discussion and some response curves
provided by the designer himself, see:
http://headwize.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001876.html
Also, see details of the 4S at:

This I will agree on; additionally, have a set of Etymotic earplugs made at
the same time. You won't regret the expense.

Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 16:24:52
Hey,
I just found out that my buddy Bill got the virus from me.
As soon as he got it, the virus started replying to ALL his unread mail.
As a new email came in, the virus automatically replied to the person's
note.
SO DO NOT SEND ME ANY EMAIL AT:
DRider hawkwind@mediaone.net
If you have any email notes from me in your inbox dated after 4/9/01 delete
them.
Also, it may be best not to open any attachments, unless you are VERY
certain they are safe. Just because it's someone that you email all the
time, does not mean it's safe.
Don't leave unread notes in your inbox. If you see replies going out from
your outbox and you are not sending them, you have the "Badtrans" virus.
And just because you have virus scan on your computer does not mean that the
virus scan will catch it.
Thanx!
Darrin
