From: Klay Anderson <klay@klay.com> Subject: Sony Service Center Info Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 13:05:01 -0600 As this affects a lot of US Sony product users, I am passing this on: ===================== The Sony Service Company internally announced a consolidation of its in-house repair network on August 1, 2001. As a result of this change, 17 in-house Sony service and repair centers and satellite operations in locations across the United States will close within the next 60 days, leaving five remaining in-house Sony service operations. The remaining locations will continue to receive products for repair from customers and our authorized dealers as necessary. The remaining Regional Repair Centers are as follows: Fremont Regional Repair Center - Fremont, Ca. Irvine Regional Repair Center - Irvine Ca. Chicago Regional Repair Center - Niles, II. Bristol regional Repair Center - Bristol, Pa. Boston Regional Repair Center - Westwood, Ma.

From: "Bill from PHLORiDA" <bkuntz@spacey.net> Subject: TAPERS NEEDED Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 15:29:44 -0400 please e-mail the below addys if you would like to send a reply Please feel free to cut and paste this message on other lists or to anyone you think might be interested. DBB is looking for tapers with their own rigs meaning mics, dat deck, etc to tape their fall tour shows. Anyone who is willing to tape a show and send me a copy on dat or cd will be put on the guest list for that show. I can only put one taper per show on the guest list. There is no limit on the number of tapers at any of our shows. We encourage as many people as possible to tape. However, this deal is good for only one taper per show. I put them on the guest list, they tape the show, and send me a copy for the archives. Just about every fall show is available except for the Philly and NYC dates at the end of Sept. Please contact me at taperted@yahoo.com or taperted@deepbananablackout.com if interested. Thanks BiLL from PHLORiDA
From: "Arnold, Joseph" <Joseph.Arnold@SDMS.USA.XEROX.COM> Subject: Janes Addiction Taping policy Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 15:39:34 -0400 Hello all, Anybody know what Janes Addictions' Taping policy is? I know they are touring with Live and I thought that Live had a pro-taping stance. Maybe I confused with their name. Thanks in advance - Joe
From: Halfstep-2@webtv.net (Eric Reichenbach) Subject: FS: APOGEE AD1000 package Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 15:43:17 -0400 (EDT) Please, don't make me an offer on this if you don't have the cash. I am sorry to have to post this, but this happens EVERY time I have sold something here. All inquires should be directed to me at StevePoltzFan@webtv.net Tthe package consists of: AD1000 Platinum edition. DA1000E-20. PS1000. Rack mount to hold the three units. Power cable. Original manuals for the AD and DA. Both Apogee 15-pin cables to connect the DA and AD to the PS. All units are in excellent working and physical condition. The AD1000 has been used once, since the AD2K+ units came out a year or so ago. I still use the DA1000E-20 to this day. As I have told many people, anyone that makes tapes with the AD1000 SHOULD own the DA1000. Unless I find someone interested only in the DA1000 and PS1000, then this will be sold as a package only. Original pricetag was over $6000. Trying to get half was found to be absurd. So, I am looking for $2500 or best offer. Don't hesitate to make an offer. Once again, all inquires should be directed to me at StevePoltzFan@webtv.net Thank you, Eric in VT
From: "andrew kimball" <starfire420@hotmail.com> Subject: FS: Pair of AKG C1000's Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 14:51:49 -0500 I bought these mid '99. Used them 50 times max. They are in perfect condition functionally and cosmetically. They have been sitting in their boxes for about 5 months, since I upgraded to MBHO's. These are great starter mics for anyone looking to get into taping! Looking to get $300 (check or money order) for the pair, plus $10 for shipping & insurance. Email me with any questions.... info on the mics: http://www.akg-acoustics.com/english/microphones/c1000.htm peace, andrew k ps. please reply to: kimballa@sintaks.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

From: Bryce Hall <bryce@dimensional.com> Subject: ISO: RYAN ADAMS @ THE FOX Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 15:46:13 -0600 Howdy folks, I am still searching for the Ryan Adams show at the Fox Theater in Boulder, CO from last month. I heard that someone taped it, but have not had any luck finding the tape. Please, if anyone has or knows who has this show please let me know. The link below is to my trade list. I am not trading much right now, but would easily trade a couple shows for this one. Also, anyone taping or planning on taping any of his upcoming concerts please let me know. Thanks! bryce http://www.dimensional.com/~bryce/tapes.html --

From: "Jayney Wallick" <JayneyW@mackie.com> Subject: Mixer Questions Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 15:47:08 -0700 Hi There, I just joined this list, and wanted to pose a question. I was just wondering if anyone other than I have thought of the idea of recording both ambient house sound and line input simultaneously (i.e. recording with a mixer that has both the mike and a line input from the sound board going out to the recorder). I've been doing this for a short time with "mixed" results :). My questions are, would anyone out there have any use for a mixer with four inputs (two inputs for either one stereo mike, or two shotguns, and two for line inputs from the sound board) and two outputs (to go to the recorder)? If so, would you/have you actually buy/bought one? If you use one, what make and model do you use? I'm trying to get a feel for how many of us would actually purchase such a thing so I can try to coerce the audio company I work for into building one. They may go for it, but not if no one would buy it. Please feel free to e-mail me privately so as to risk "cluttering up" the list. Thanks very much.

From: Jason Neely <bondibox@bellsouth.net> Subject: Copywrite bill to be introduced Reply-To: bondibox@bellsouth.net Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 19:49:40 -0400 Fellow recorders, A Wired.com story discusses the Security Systems Standards and Certification Act, sponsored by Sen. Fritz Hollings and supported by the music and recording industries, which would drastically rewrite current copyright laws. http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46655,00.html In a nutshell: It would *REQUIRE* copy-protection technology be included in most consumer electronic devices and personal computers to prevent the unauthorized duplication of digital music, video and other copyrighted materials. [The SSSC Act ...] backs up this requirement with teeth: It would be a civil offense to create or sell any kind of computer equipment that "does not include and utilize certified security technologies" approved by the federal government.    It also creates new federal felonies, punishable by five years in prison and fines of up to $500,000. Anyone who distributes copyrighted material with "security measures" disabled or has a network-attached computer that disables copy protection is covered. Please become proactive and write to your congresspersons.
From: Jon Weber <weberwest@go.com> Subject: Austin TX Tapers ??? Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 17:50:32 -0700 (PDT) Just hoping to connect with a local Austin taper who's available to hit the Charlie Hunter / Will Bernard shows this week (9/13 + 14) @ the Mercury Lounge. It'll be a great reunion of TJ Kirk alumni! I should be able to arrange guestlist access for you, especially if you are running a full rig. But even if you were just planning on a patch, please get in touch and I'll see what i can do. I am Will's archivist so of course I would hope that you would get there plenty early to tape his opening set. BW Tax - audio cdr only - each show takes 2 discs Will Bernard & Motherbug 8/16/01 Oakland, onstage AKG 391's - w/ Peter Apfelbaum sitting in Charlie Hunter 5/13/01 Eugene OR with partial Motherbug opening set -source : FOB AKG 483's for Charlie, onstage for Motherbug, Will sits in with Charlie's group for an hour.

EAC (must be configured properly, see links at www.etree.org) will extract each track out to it's own wave file. Then use burn software to burn the tracks. CD Archtect will work for that, although there are much more efficient tools such as CDRWin, Nero, Feurio and some people burn with EAC peace, further... e
From: "gordon wilson" <gordonlw@mindspring.com> Subject: Anyone tape John McEuen with Trey last night Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 23:32:08 -0400 Wondering if anyone taped this last night. My Mom is a huge McEuen,NGDB fan and I'm a big phish, Trey fan. Her birthday is coming up and this would make a great present. Gordon >>>>Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members John McEuen and Jimmy Ibbotson were most pleased by their special surprise guest at Burlington Vermont's Higher Ground club at their performance for Clearpath International (an organization that removes landmines southeast Asia - info at clearpathinternational.com). Phish guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio (one of America's highest grossing acts)accepted John's invitation and joined them mid-show, sitting in for a memorable night of jamming. Digging in to mutual favorite classics from Dylan and The Band to Del McCoury music, Anastasio played acoustic guitar and even sang a Phish classic. The trio's love of music was obvious as they shared the stage for an hour. They ended the night with Will The Circle Be Unbroken, paying homage to the NGDB landmark platinum album of the same name. This climatic encore also brought Vermont's hottest bluegrass groups back to the stage, opening acts Gopher Broke and Banjo Dan and the Midnight Plowboys - for a 20-minute finale that kept the audience on their feet demanding more encores. >>>>
From: "c t" <crakt@hotmail.com> Subject: ISO: New York(this thurs)/Euro/UK tapers Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 03:47:45 +0000 I will pay your ticket, cdr(preferably) and postage. I can't afford to pay for all these gigs, but i would specifically like the new york gig this thursday, the last london gig on thurs 25 october, dutch radio appearance on thurs 4 october, and some inbetween. 'Art Of Fighting' is an Australian band who are doing their first overseas gigs. They're a mostly quiet guitar based sounding indie band. Some songs are available for download if you want to have a listen to what they're like: http://www.artoffighting.com/songspage.htm I'm not sure if they allow taping, so you'd probably have to go stealth. I'm not sure how locked in these gigs are so you would have to check local guides. http://www.artoffighting.com/concertspage.htm september ========= USA thu 13 new york : cb's 313 gallery, 8.00 pm, cmj music marathon Germany wed 19 munster : gleis 22 w/ north of america thu 20 nuremeburg : k4 w/ erhard and missouri fri 21 darmstadt : oetinger villa sat 22 passau : zeughaus sun 23 munich : club 22 Switzerland tue 25 geneva : usine wed 26 winterthur : gaswerk Germany fri 28 dresden : riesa efau sun 30 berlin : maria w/ songs:ohia and couch october ======= Germany mon 01 hamburg : tahzelle w/ gary tue 02 krefeld : church Netherlands thu 04 amsterdam: VPRO radio appearance England sat 06 london : rota, notting hill arts club tue 09 london : arts cafe, toynbee hall France wed 10 paris : la guingette pirate tbc Belgium sat 13 hasselt : kunstencentrum scotland mon 15 glasgow : the thirteenth note Ireland fri 19 belfast : morrison's w/ joan of arse sat 20 limerick : high stool w/ joan of arse sun 21 dublin : whelan's w/ the dudley corporation England thu 25 london : spitz w/ joan of arse thanks luke _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
From: "Derek Swingley" <fluffmasterflex@hotmail.com> Subject: Herbie Hancock taping policy?? Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 01:52:29 -0500 Does Herbie Hancock allow taping? I'm just curious because I will be attending and upcoming show and need to know. If he does, I really need some documentation to back this up. The people who run the auditorium are very under-educated and for some odd reason consider a cell phone a recording device...go figure. Anyway, please just let me know as soon as possible. Thanks! -Derek
From: "rob landis" <nocturnalsunshine@hotmail.com> Subject: ALD taping Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 02:14:14 -0400 hey just finished editing/transferring my 1st ALD recording, radiohead 8/20/01 at the hollywood bowl. the experience left me with some questions, tho : 1. the ALD box could "sense" if there were headphones plugged into it, or a mic pre. the red light would only be on if i plugged the box into the D8's mic in, or if i were running headphones out of the ALD box as was intended. ALD->line in on the D8 did not work, even if i was monitoring out of the D8 w/ headphones. also, it didn't matter what headphones i used; my own pair was perfectly compatible. so why does the ALD feed have to go to the mic in, not line in? also, it seemed the ALD output was a little too hot for the mic input; cranking the level resulted in brickwalling, not a louder signal. what strength attenuator would be appropriate for this situation? i didn't have one :( 2. hum was a major issue. i filtered it out with rented outboard gear later (well, reduced it anyway). what could be done to minimize hum on the initial recording, aside from getting a less-crappy transmitter box? is hum a common issue in this situation? would one of those ground-loop-breaker black boxes you get for like 60 bucks at the guitar shop solve the problem if used between the ALD and the deck? for those that want the specific info on the tape, here is a copy of a mail i sent out earlier: > ok, i have the show edited and ready to go now. there's still some >electrical hum present, and there's some slight peak distortion, but it's a >pretty good listen. 124 min , 2 CDR >recording details: > ALD feed->D8 (mic in) >edited: > DAT(m)-> Roland SN-700 Hum Eliminator ->4-track mixer ->DAT->CDR > > using the SN-700 dramatically reduced the hum, but didn't completely >eliminate it. using the processor cut out the highs a little bit, and made >it a bit less transparent, but to my ears the trade off was very much worth >it. > the mixer was in there because i only had a stereo cable during the >initial recording, so the master had sound in the L channel only... i didn't use any of the board's EQ. if you're really dying to hear it and have something really nice to offer in return, we can prolly work something out...but i'm really very very busy and have already promised this show to some people. i've got about all i can handle here, sorry. it will circulate, tho, i promise. the tape's not quite as exciting as it sounds, anyway. just think of it as a less-than-stellar FM. (sorta). so, thanks everyone, and take care. rob _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
