Phil Lesh + Rat Dog Masters + Little Feet @ The Egg Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 19:03:12 -0400 I taped Phil Lesh and Rat Dog 12th row center at SPAC. I also taped Little Feet at the Egg in Albany on aug. 11. I have transferred these DAT tapes to cdr and would like to trade them for blank dats. Preferably 2 or 3 hour orange hub sonys. That would be 4 dat tapes for all 3 bands. Both shows were taped with Schoeps MK4s > VMS 02ib > Tascam P1.Serious inquires only. 1st come 1st serve. 10Q ------------------------------ From: "Dave Forbis" Subject: re: USB devices Reply-To: forbis@texas.net Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 20:00:17 -0500 >Is there any kind of consensus on whether the Roland UA-30 or Egosys U2A >USB audio devices are good/acceptable for doing accurate DAT>WAV? Do they >do exact bit-for-bit transfers using SPDIF without unwanted re-sampling >(ala the SB Live)? I've been wondering the same thing. Other products to consider are the Opcode DATport and a new one by Edirol (related to Roland?). I think these two would have to stay in the digital domain, as I don't beleive they offer analog ports. -Dave _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ From: Mike Hooker Subject: paging lennie carlberg Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 22:08:09 -0400 lennie carlberg, i cant get mail to you regarding my 8-17-01 jethro tull tape, the mail bounces.

Stickel" Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 11:51:42 +0900 hi all, i want to make a point about DVD-RW and DVD+RW. =====begin rant ===== namely, be careful what you purchase (especially after reading this article)or else you may wind up with a BETA. i am not supporting either format yet. However, i don't want to buy another beta myself !! this HP drive in the article is NOT DVD-RW, rather it is the competing DVD+RW format. This article is extremely one-sided and biased, it is rather like a commercial for DVD+RW. i am currently living in Tokyo, Japan - ground zero for the introduction of new consumer electronics - and here at least so far DVD+RW is looking like a loser. In Japan, Pioneer has been selling home DVD-RW units for almost a year now. Additionally, Sharp and Kenwood are also selling the same Pioneer units under their brand name. Pioneer now has not one but THREE different DVD-RW models to choose from. Two of these have firewire in/outs for hooking a DV camera or other firewire device to directly record (digitally transcode) to DVD-RW. Additionally, Pioneer has been selling their DVR-A03 computer DVD-RW drive here as well as the states for a couple of months now. This article mentions nothing about this. Furthermore, the article also fails to mention that Sony is hedging their bets and is supporting both DVD-RW and DVD+RW. However, Sony is already producing DVD-RW hardware. They are selling one Vaio desktop PC with a built-in DVD-RW drive in Japan (and maybe the US) and they have already announced they will produce a home DVD-RW in the beginning of 2002. Panasonic, the creator of the DVD-RAM format has already caved and is sellingDVD-RAM/DVD-R capable drives and home decks. I am just saying let's look at the whole picture !! Ask "Why are there no DVD-RW decks in the US yet?" ---- Answer - Can you spell M-P-A-A? ---rant off----- Victor ================================== >From: Colin Liston >Subject: DVD-RW >Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 15:19:54 -0400 (EDT) >check it out > >http://netscape.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5095901,00.html ------------------------------ From: Beast914@aol.com Subject: Seeking Suzanne Vega concerts Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 23:09:58 EDT I should just shut up at parties. I cant; theyre all on the internet looking for porn while I am finding great concerts to trade with others. Im bursting in the burbs!!! (sounds like a god-awful title). And so now I have been put to the challenge of finding a good sounding Suzanne Vega concert. ANYONE??? Please contact me if you have any Suzanne Vega to trade or B&P. Thank you.

Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 01:53:08 -0400 (EDT) Does anyone here receive this weekly Public radio live music show? I used to get it, but the Washington DC show recently stopped carrying it. You can check to see if any stations near you carry it by checking their website at http://www.etown.org; it seems to be mostly stations in smaller towns that carry the program. They get a lot of good artists; usually with a folk bent. Upcoming guests include Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright and Roger McGuinn. I'd love to find someone who could tape these artists and who might be able to tape it regularly in the future. If you have any older ones that would be even better, the show has been around for a long time, but I just discovered it on DC radio a few weeks before it was cancelled! :( Rob Why don't you come up and surf me sometime? --> http://www.patriot.net/users/rob ------------------------------ From: "Wayne Ellis" Subject: DAT Archiving Group Reply-To: Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 09:25:04 +0100 all, I've set up this yahoo forum to trade DAT tape contents as lumped SHN files. The idea being (same as it ever was) to trade high quality digital transfers from DAT tapes in SHN format without sample rate conversion, rather than running the gauntlet with DAT tape trades and all its associated perils - tape rot, diginoise, format obsolescence ..... (Non DAE cdr shn based trades are also fine but not the main point of the list) Any bands/genres welcome - its not aimed at etree associated bands, its an invite to any DAT/digital traders who 'know what they're doing' and would like to trade material in this way.

Other than having to rename the resultant files, this works like a charm.

Date: Tue, 21 Aug 01 12:07:58 -0400 Hello folks, Sorry for the off topic post, but given the amount of CD's most of you burn, maybe someone can help... I am trying to put a hidden track at the beginning of a CD. When you hit play, the first song starts. To hear the hidden track, you would need to scan backwards to the beginning of the track. There was an x-files soundtrack CD that did this a number of years ago, containing a hidden Dirty Three track.

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good mic to do so. I have some experience using a Sony ECM-9207 (? I can't remember the exact model number) electret condenser mic to record various outdoor "noises" with fairly good results. I'm guessing a stereo simple-point mic similar to this one might be the best option.
