Possibly the pick of the litter of all the so called neo-prog bands. I won't be able to addend the North Star Bar show in Phila. on 9-5 but my son will be going and hopefully recording. I raised this boy right! Looking forward to hearing from other fans, especially those who'll be recording the band on their current tour and are interested in trading. http://home.att.net/~meurglys3/ Tom ------------------------------ From: tony Subject: Ani DiFranco Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 16:03:45 -0400 hi, I'm looking to find a couple good live recordings from basically any tour.

I have the SKM140 set and I've never actually measured the active cables but they are way too long for my needs. I'm guessing they are 12-15ft. I believe different lengths are available, although I wasn't presented with this option when I bought the set. The cables are small diameter, so it's easy to roll them up with a velcro cable tie and then easily conceal them. I'm not really sure why they are so long - I occasionally see people use them with their 140's on a stand at a taping-allowed show...can't see why you would bother doing this unless you just wanted to use the ORTF or XY bars that come with them, as they only attach to the capsules when the actives are attached. I always run my 140s with capsules and bodies attached at taping-allowed shows, and thus just have a good set of 12'-15' XLR cables between my mics and pre-amp. I would much rather the actives be in the 4-5' range for the times I really need them. ------------------------------ From: From Chaos Tapers Subject: 311 tapers Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 13:48:37 -0700 (PDT) is anybody hear planning on taping any 311 shows on their upcoming tour? I have set up a database for people taping 311 shows. it is at www.geocities.com/fromchaostapers If you are not taping 311, why not? they are an excellent live band. I'm not sure on their taping policy, but I've never seen a mic stand at a show so I would assume stealth. check out their tour dates at www.311music.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

One questions the hardware approach to better sounding recordings, while another praises Josephson microphones as being as good or better than Schoeps. As a newbie with an M1 and omnis, I have made some very listenable recordings, but I wonder where I should invest to get better sound; microphones, cables, preamp/power supply, A/D convertor? Do you really get much benefit if only one part of the chain is upgraded? Has anybody upgraded and been disappointed with what they got for their money? I did a lot of work as a photographer in college, and the equipment you could afford sometimes determined whether you got a good photo, a crappy photo, or no photo. That being said, a Tamron lens with the same spec as a Nikon lens could cost half as much and one would be hard pressed to see a difference in a side by side comparison of the photos. Am I comparing apples and oranges here? Are there some good performing recording components that won't push a rig over $5K?

The new ones don't come that way, you have to get it custom I think, although Neumann will do it for you. Neumann's webpage said that as long as the active cables are under 300 feet there shouldn't be any loss, so I guess that they will make them any length for you. good luck, I LOVE mine. -tom http://www.neumannusa.com On Wednesday, August 29, 2001, at 12:50 PM, Digestifier wrote: > From: "scott charles" > Subject: neumann skm140 > Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 12:43:17 > > anyone know the length of the active cables that come with this set > between > the capsule and the preamp body? > > thanks -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ From: "Eric Peterson" Subject: Rhythm & Roots Festival Reply-To: juncopartner@lycos.com Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 19:18:47 -0400 I was wondering if anyone is planning to tape at the Rhythm & Roots Fest in RI this weekend.

Alan ========================================= From: Jesse Lackey Subject: Roland UA-30 USB - subtle dropouts on digital transfers Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 01:18:22 -0400 [snip] The laptop is a PII 400 w/128Mb. This is such a low-bandwidth, low-cpu operation that I should be able to encode mpegs while doing the transfer. I miss the days of the zefiro za-1, DOS, and a 486-100. Was totally reliable.... tho $1100 for a 3gb harddrive back then kinda hurt. :) Advice? Comments? Thanks in advance.

Jesse, make sure dma is enabled with win2k, its a real pain sometimes. get a benchmarking utility, SiSoft sandra is a good free one. It will tell you right away if your drive is using dma.
