From: Robert Moose <rmoose@mooses.org> Subject: FS Maxell OEM 60 and 90 meter new Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 19:14:42 -0400 I've got more than enough blanks to last at least a few years at the rate I'm going. So, I'd like to sell off a few boxes of extras. These are Maxell OEM DDS. I have 10 packs of both the 60's and 90s. All still shrinkwrapped. (These are all originally from Cassette House, FWIW). Asking $20 per box + shipping (Your choice of shipping, either media mail or 1st class). I haven't done an exhaustive search on current pricing, but I'm willing to entertain counteroffers it that's too high. Bob
From: "Gary Davis" <gdavis@loop.com> Subject: old computers / new hardware Reply-to: gdavis@loop.com Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 16:25:59 -0700 You can certainly use a new CDR drive though maybe not at full speed. I run mine at 4X on an older computer. If the motherboard only has one IDE slot, this allows a max of 2 drives which might be a limitation. Also, older BIOS can only support 8GB on a HD. You are right, a Promise card would get around both these problems. But, with a new high-speed motherboard going for only around $100, you might want to replace the MB too. Only problem is finding an "AT" type. The newer "ATX" motherboards will have a different physical configuration, and a different connector for the power supply. It certainly is possible to get an "AT" motherboard with a faster new chip, but you should look in computer mags for those companies that specialize in motherboards (don't expect to find it at CompUSA or Frys...) --Gary
From: Jay Lyons <jayl@southeast.net> Subject: dat repair in the S.E. region US Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 20:57:18 -0400 Hi, My Fostex D5 is giving me a hard time so I'm searching for a repair facility in the N.E.Florida/S.E. region of the US. It's still under warranty and I have this extended thru Terrapin tapes warranty extension program. Last time I sent it out to a factory they ( the warranty company, Warrentec or something) found. This time they are leaving it up to me to get them a "estimate of repair" from someone I find,.. interesting. Would anyone have some ideas. yellow pages in my area of Jacksonville, FL doesn't really turn up much.
From: "Bonnie & Cleve Svetlik" <Svetlik@Stratos.net> Subject: Sony D7 manual Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 21:34:33 -0400 If the fellow who wants a photocopy of the D7 would please contact me off list, we can work something out. I believe you can still purchase an original for Sony - - -I believe the web address is www.sony.com. Cleve Svetlik Svetlik@Stratos.net
From: "Bonnie & Cleve Svetlik" <Svetlik@Stratos.net> Subject: Big hard drives in old computers Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 21:51:29 -0400 Older Pentiums can generally support hard drives on any size. It it is real old, you may have to use a translation program (which usually comes with the new hard drive) to access all of the available space. The alternative (and a MUCH better choose) is the use a "Promise" or other card in place of the motherboard bios for the hard drive. Regarding the burner, it is best to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer regarding the minimum speed. If you have less than the recommended speed, the problem which MAY occur is that the CPU can not transfer data fast enough to keep up with the burner. In which case, the CD you just made is junk. I just installed a new CenDyne 6X burner bought an sale ($89) and it required a 166 MHz CPU. Check eBay, there are all kinds of older, slower computers that will fill your needs. I'd recommend the fastest CPU you can afford - it sure helps when editing. Also, buy a lots or RAM. For audio use, I'd look for at least 100 meg. Newer motherboards take modern ram which is cheap compared to older EDO, etc. You don't have to have a late model of operating system. Windows 95B or later is Ok, WIN 98 is better - although others on the list may stronger opinions on this topic. Check and see if your older machine might be able to support a faster CPU. If so, that could help lessen the drain on the pocketbook. Cleve Svetlik Svetlik@Stratos.net

From: Erik Spring <espring@calpoly.edu> Subject: Help needed with SoundForge Reply-To: espring@calpoly.edu Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 21:58:13 -0700 I just upgraded my computer so I had to re-install SoundForge. I forgot the settings to set it up to do DATs. I know one of them was for the timing, like minutes and seconds to hours and minutes (or something like that). And also, I just tried recording something and it came out quiet, lower volume than the DAT. Is there some setting to fix this? Thanks in advance -- --Erik
From: "Brad Burleson" <datbrad@hotmail.com> Subject: Built To Spill... Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 22:33:55 -0700 Curious as to BTS's official stance regarding taping. I have heard SBD shows and was wondering if SBD access is usually available. If not will it be ok to bring a rig in, or will it be a stealth mission. Pretty sure BTS allowed taping in the past, but wasn't sure about the upcoming tour supporting their new album. Thanks for the help.

From: H V Sahasrabuddhe <hvs@cs.unipune.ernet.in> Subject: laptop as a portable recorder? Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 12:24:44 +0900 (JAYT) I have been a happy user of DAT for recording concerts (started 1996). Now short (60m) dats are getting progressively rare as computer drives accept longer tapes, and I am left wondering whether I should shift to recording directly to hard disk, and if so what setup to use? If others have travelled that path ahead of me I want to hear your experiences. Please e-mail me privately. Can post a summary if people want. Hari Sahasrabuddhe hvs@cs.unipune.ernet.in
From: Bill Pannifer <billpannifer@easynet.co.uk> Subject: best minidisc? Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 02:35:16 +0100 I'm thinking of getting a minidisc recorder as a sort of second-line machine (I know the audio isn't up to Dat standards!) Does anyone have a specific portable they'd recommend. I understand there are one or two new models with digital out. I'd also need the 20db cut input setting and the ability to alter the record volume without stopping the disc. Any thoughts appreciated! Bill
From: l-dat@dinges.xs4all.nl (l-dat) Subject: DIY project for simple portable HD recorder? Date: 21 May 2001 14:44:08 +0100 Hello, I noticed that 2.5" hard drives are quite cheap. A simple and small recorder (ADC + microcontroller + drive) should be feasable. Does anyone here know about HD recorders that are as small as a, say, Sony D7 or even a D100/M1? Does anyone know about some kind of do it yourself HD recorder? I am no electronics guru but *if* a set of 2 or 3 (?) AA batteries can power the drive and CPU for 3+ hours a simple solution is not far away given some knowledge. (find a nice, simple and cheap CPU that can interface with the drive, some controls (level, start/stop)...) What do you all think/know about this? Please post.

From: "Jim Andrisani" <jandrisa@lynx.dac.neu.edu> Subject: St. Germain Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 10:25:53 -0400 Hey there. I've been out of the trading loop for about 2 years now due to college/full-time job/lack of $$/etc. Anyway, does anyone have any live St.Germain tapes? They're absolutely rediculous live and I'd love to hear some live stuff (the recent show from Boston would be bonus). I've got lots to trade! Jim

From: "Joshua" <sprung598@yahoo.com> Subject: CMC6>KCY actives>4Vs?? Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 10:14:38 -0600 Howdy y'all- Looks like I'm in the market for a new pair of mics, and I'm interested in the possibility of purchasing some 4v caps and the actives. I've already got a pre-amp with xlr inputs, and I'd like to avoid buying the bodies with the mics, if possible. Suggestions? Sounds to me like I'll need some custom cables built... Also, no response to the Schoeps discussion groups...there is a SchoepsHeads that I found at yahoogroups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SchoepsHeads Thanks! -Josh _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
