While this is true of CSBs, I find the CSCs significantly less sensitive and usually the -20dB mic input is right for fairly loud shows. I believe I even used mic input with no atten for recording Arlo Guthrie with the Seattle Symphony. I have frequently used the CSBs with line in on the D100 for loud shows but I remain suspicious that there is a problem with high frequency response doing this. I don't have equipment to test this theory, however. Len? I know you recommend doing this but the tapes always sound more bassy and muddy than when I use mic in. I'm thinking -20dB mic in plus an additional in-line attenuator might be preferable to using line in. -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com >> Muddy bass is most often caused by bass overloading the decks mic input; this is the 1st amplification stage that is BEFORE the manual level control. All these binaural mics you see offered have way too much sensitivity to record concert level bass directly into the mic input. Either use a bass filter to lower the strong bass and/or go to line input and deal with having barely enough gain, but get a lot more 'headroom' = cleaner sound from the deck's analog signal processing circuits. On the other hand, Sonic Studios DSM microphones are available in 8 sensitivity models that will never have these problems with deck input distortion when the correct model (sensitivityy) is selected for your purpose. DSM models are designed correctly in the first place to always use the JUST THE MIC INPUT, and can be directly powered by the deck (NOTE: most DAT's need MOD-2 upgrade) with no quality or performance compromises (read no battery box is needed to get better recordings with proper "Plug-in-(mic)Power"), and have options of bass filters (if needed) that always work exactly as advertised.

From: DAVEDARC@aol.com Subject: John Hammond and Tom Waites Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:09:59 EDT Hey All, Did anyone tape the John Hammond concert where Tom Waites comes out to guest for a few songs? John has recently done an album of all Tom Waites tunes, and this was a rare treat to see them both together. Charlie Musslewhite was also on stage I believe. If anybody has this show I would be extremely grateful to get a copy. I have other Tom Waites, Taj, Richard Thompson, Peter Rowan, Steve Earl, and other "acoustic" artists to trade, and over 1000 dics of other bands. Please respond privately and I will forward list. Thanks! Dave

From: mburgio@lightbridge.com Subject: FS: MG300 Matched Pair & Dual Phantom Power Supply Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 10:30:23 -0400 I have the following left to sell. The Microtech Gefell mics are a matched pair and are in impeccable shape. Might as well be right out of the box. In fact I have the boxes straight from Gefell as well as the wooden cases that house the mics. If you would like to hear a sample of what these have done for me, let me know and I can give you some samples in .shn form. The phantom box is a dual channel supply that can run off two 9volts of external power. Works wonderfully with no noise.

Only an audio-capable DAT drive, and then only with the appropriate software, and even then, it's not a straight-forward process; download, decompress, arrange, burn. I get SHN's a lot in trades (on CD media) and the first thing I do is put it on DAT. I also backup all my audio to DDS -- Wayne D.

I purchased it new from terrapin tapes on 5.27.97 along with the 5 year extended warranty. The warranty is transferable and good through 5.27.02. I have all the original packaging, remote control, manual, etc. I'm looking to get $400.00 for it. Please email me if interested. I live on eastern long island if any new yawkers would like to take a look at it. Thanks for the bw!! Len
From: Monty Allen <monty@i-c.net> Subject: Deep Banana Blackout 4/24/01 - Help Reply-To: monty@i-c.net Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 12:08:35 -0400 I taped Tuesday 4/24/01 at the Star Hill in Charlottesville and had the only mikes up for the first set. I checked my tape at the show and it was fine, so I handed my analog tapes to the band. I got home and my DAT tape was immediately eaten by my deck. Three people ran behind me. I would appreciate if you would get in contact with me, I still owe the band a digital copy for their archives. Also if any body has any ideas on salvaging the DAT it was crumpled pretty bad at the end,but I got in rolled back up into the cartridge and was able to rewind it, but I can't get any signal off of it. peace monty bwt-Phil and Friends 4/23/01 AKG SE 300b w/CK 98 caps ->MP-2 -> D8 (2-60m)

The problem is that some folks are using packs that use 3 lead-acid cells that put out 6.6 volts, or 6 NiCad cells that put out more than 7.2 Volts fully charged. And sometimes they will charge those batteries while the -M1 is connected, exposing the -M1 to much higher voltages. Sony specifies the -M1 at 4.5 Volts. We know of another DAT-head (not kmstraker) who damaged his -M1 using a 6 Volt Eco-Charge pack. It's worth being careful in this regard.

From: Robert Walsh <crwsnst@alaska.net> Subject: audio editing software Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 09:24:11 -0800 Greetings- I am looking for recommendations on audio-editing software that I can use with a macintosh system. Several friends are using "Cool-Edit", and that seems to be exactly the type of program I'd like to be using, but as I understand it, "Cool-Edit" works with windows, and I dont. I've looked at "Jam" from Roxio, but aside from being 3 times the cost of Cool-Edit, I'm not sure it can do all that Cool Edit can- please send comments to <crwsnst@alaska.net> Namaste, RW

From: Warren Melnick <warren.melnick@astata.com> Subject: RE: M1 and 6V power Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:09:43 -0400 I would think that a really quick solution to this might be the addition of a simple 7805 voltage regulator in your power line. This should take pretty much anything between 6 and 12V on the input and give you a steady 5V on the output side. and since the leads are input, ground and output, wiring it into your power line would be as simple as cutting the + lead, soldering to the 2 outer leads on the 7805, and stripping back a little bit of the ground and soldering the center lead there. OK, maybe a little electrical tape something else to cover the exposed leads might be a good idea too :) Once this is in place, you could use 3-5 lead/acid cells or 6-8 NiCD/NiMH cells. ================ Warren Melnick Director of Research and Development Astata Corporation =====Original Message===== From: Len Moskowitz [mailto:moskowit@panix.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 12:08 PM To: DAT-heads@datheads.phish.net Subject: Re: M1 and 6V power Leonard Lombardo <GuySonic@aol.com> wrote: > 6 volt external input is very much within the limits for non-stressful > operation of the D100/M1 decks.
