("Pat K") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "--k j--" Subject: question/newbie help with my new rig Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 15:09:37 -0400 Pardon my ignorance, but i need some help and you guys seem like the knowledgable type... i've been taping MiniDisc for a year now, and finally spent the money and bought a rig.....the final shipment came yesterday and this is what i got: Audio Technica 4041 mics Graham Patton DMIC-20 Sony D8 EcoCharge Battery Ok, so i take everything out and try to put the thing together..... got the DMIC and sony plugged into the Eco Charge and they both have power. Plugged the mics into the DMIC and got levels.....no problem..... Plugged the DAT into the DMIC using BNA>RCA converter and then the 7pin into the DAT and the D8 says NO INPUT when i try to record.... so i used a RCA to mini to connect the D8 and got levels for 1 channel, but the sound was really Fuzzy.... so i guess what my question is...why doesn't the 7-pin work? do i run a single COAX to mini from the DMIC to the D8? I thought i should be using the 7pin... any help is appreciated, i'm attempting my first show on thursday, and i don't want it to be a total waste.....i've read all the manuals and am pretty sure i got the set up right....the NO INPUT is throwing me off.... thanks, keith http://www.phishhook.com/lists/januszak _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ From: kmstraker@mindspring.com Subject: ISO phil FOB's / DTB NYE '00 Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 15:17:30 -0400 Looking to trade for more PHIL from his recent tour.

I bought these about a year ago (actually less than a year a ago, since I bought them after moe.down last year). Paid $75.00 each new for them. I'd like to see $100.00 for the pair, but I will entertain other offers.

I then open my hand a tiny little bit (between the pinky finger & palm) to let just the right amount of light needed to check the levels. No film needed here. Steve ------------------------------ From: Steve Novy Subject: DDS Tape Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 15:59:31 -0400 I use 90m Phillips DDS tapes. Anybody else use 'em & know who the manufacturer would be? I'm a DAT newbie & would be more then happy to send a 90m blank out to someone to identify & do a B&P for me! Thanks in advance, Steve ------------------------------ From: Jude Subject: FS:Sony M1, 7pin, 1/8", Pelican, Warranty Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 13:03:14 -0700 (PDT) Hi, I am getting out of taping and selling my taping gear. I am the original owner of all of this gear and have had no problems since it was serviced by Paul at Pro Digital in the summer of 1999. The items I am selling are: -Sony M1-with manual and receipt and A/C adaptor -2-3 years left on five year warranty -7pin digital in/out cable from Masterpiece A/V -1/8"->1/8" cable, needed for analog patches -Pelican hard carrying case I paid over $1,000 for this stuff new. I'm asking for $750 or best offer. If you are interested e-mail me at jjmcelro@artsci.wustl.edu Take Care, Jude __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

And if so, is it usually beamed up to a satellite and back down to another location for the webcast or is it strictly terrestial through fiberoptic cable? Anybody know how it's done? --- Mike Hanson ------------------------------ From: "Robert and Karen" Subject: ISO Panasonic SV 255 info Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 16:32:08 -0400 I just recently acquired a lightly used Panasonic SV 255. the manual just tells you which buttons to push to make it work. I am in search of any knowledge that current or past users of this deck would like to pass on. any tips on usage or idiosyncracies of the deck would be appreciated. a google search did not turn up much besides Seth's market posting and a bunch of people's tapelists with shows mastered on the machine. I also have a few specific questions as well: 1. does it tolerate 90m tapes? 2. any ideas on expected head life? other known problems or things to watch out for? 3. what level of humidity does it take to trigger the DEW warning? would a packed theater or bar on a summer night be enough to put the deck out of commission? 4. I have had one intermittent problem with the machine. a tape will sometimes not play and sometimes it will also not eject. E-07 is on the display when this happens. if the tape does not eject, cycling the power lets me eject it. the same tape will sometimes play and sometimes won't. is this a loading problem? is there a list of the error codes available? I would be happy to compile any information I receive and pass it on to anyone else who may be interested. to the first 3 for b&p or trade (sorry, cdr only) Mike Clark's Prescription Renewal 8-3-01 Recher Theater Towson, MD Neumann KM140's>Teac DA-P20 2 discs thanks!

It has a DC in port marked 6V. The AC adapter is 6V. The manual speaks only of 6V. Radio shack has a rechargeable battery that will last 20 hours. It says it's for most CD and MD decks. It is 4.0 volts. Heres my question... the lithium battery in the MD is marked 3.5V. The piggyback battery pack that came with the deck for extra power accepts three AA batteries. That's a total of 4.5V. It plugs into the port marked 6V. I bought the $40 Radio Shack battery because it was offered for $20. I plugged it into the MD 6V port and it worked fine. So what gives about all these various voltage specs. They ALL work. Is this like my Zefiro Inbox? The Zefiro takes a 9V battery. Yet the jack for adding your own power accepts a wide range of voltages up to 48 I believe. Anyone see any problems with my using the 4V power pack in my MD? Thanks!!

Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 20:49:29 -0400 (EDT) Did anyone in the TS (located to either side of the soundboard) manage to make a decent tape of this show? Mine's got a load of what sounds like comb filtering due to the difference in distance between the stacks from where I was set up. I'm guessing most other tapes are gonna sound like this to some degree. A tape was apparently made from a *much* better location, though, but I haven't seen it surface anywhere yet; I figured I'd ask here if only to get a better copy of the encore.

We either need to borrow a decent A/D to go digital into a D8 or a P1 at least. The band really needs some AUD recordings to go along with their Matrix recording they do. peace, stuart gerber ------------------------------ From: "craig davis" Subject: Sonosax outboard power?

Why EVER resample on-the-fly when you could do it as a batch process on the PC. On-the-fly is a streaming process that is totally intolerant of any errors that may pop up. A batch process has all day to double check itself and not produce any anomalies, artifacts, or errors. The show is gonna become a file on your hard drive anyway, and the batch process takes what? 5-10 minutes tops? Even if you don't believe it makes any difference, why not take an extra few minutes and be SURE!
