Hey Now,
I got a tape a few weeks back and it's full of digi-noise. I only played the
first couple minutes and stopped the tape. It was pretty extreme.
The person that sent it to me said that their tape heads were really dirty
and thus the cause for the excessive digi-noise.
If I try to record something new on this tape, will it gum up my heads?
Should I just throw it away?
Or is it safe to reuse?
Thanx!

Subject: Buddy Guy Taping Policy?
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 11:58:12 +0000
Just wondering if anyone knew Buddy Guy's taping policy, yes/no? I'll be
taping the opener of a double bill who does allow taping, just curious if
I'd be able to continue taping or not for Buddy Guy or if I would be able to
bring a mic stand even for the opener.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Joe

Subject: Re: 24-bit recording does NOT provide greater resolution
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 08:35:19 -0500
A 20/24 bit recording is more accurate. Each bit doubles the number of
available quantization values. A 24-bit recording does provide greater
resolution, but when you convert back into a 16-bit number for storage
on DAT or CD the lower bits are thrown away. (Dither can be added to
help define values for the low order numbers at the 16-bit level, so we
get a non-zero value in many instances.)
Recordings made with 24-bit or 20-bit converters do sound better, even
when the recording is subsequently converted to 16-bits. The greater
detail does translate into better definition of the sound at lower
levels. This is especially noticable with decay on sounds such as
speaking or reverb tails. This is quite important in classical music,
perhaps less significant in more amplified performances with higher
decibel levels.
I have heard it said that with 20-bits you can represent the full
dynamic range available in an audio circuit. If we assume that is true,
then having 24-bits to work in is still beneficial in that we have more
room at the top to handle transients. The signal can be normalized later
(with care) to take advantage of any unused headroom.

i am purchasing some schoeps mics and i am looking to sell the mics that i
currently own...
i have a matched pair of Earthworks SR77's that are in excellent condition,
they were used fewer than 10 times. the only thing is that they do not come
with the tubes used for carrying them around, but i have made a case that
works very very well for this that i will throw in also. along with the mics
comes a pair of 20' XLR cables and DPA windscreens that work wonderfully
with the mics.
Asking price(not really negotiable) $700 + shipping for everything
i also have a pair of AT933's that was purchased from the sound
professionals. they are already mounted in croakies and have switchable bass
roll-off on the battery box. the cables are already attached to the mics and
there is an extra adapter in case you wanted to go into a pre-amp with XLR
inputs.
Asking price(not really negotiable) $200 + shipping for everything
Serious offers only and email me off the list please =)

'01 ) portland and blaine shows on dat. i'm still searching, but i'm may be
interested in dat>wav>shn if someone has it. i'd prefer no cdr in between
wav and shn, if at all possible. and known source is grately appreciated.

of interest to trade. all my kimock stuff ( 99 % onstage tapes--c61's, nak
700's, mk21's... ) is on dat, so a dat trade is possible. i can transfer
these to cdrs/shns if need be though. hope someone can help me out here ;^)

i heard from a fellow taper at telluride bluegrass fest (yes!!!!!) this
year that he got pissed because somebody ran a tape of him (sbd i
think) and it ended up on ebay the next week.
now i love del's music and all but i don't see that big a market for it.
its a shame - another wonderful artist who there won't be as many
quality tapes of because everybody will be super-stealthing it ;-(

Ok, Im selling this pair of MC 012's, Ive used them less than 10 times. These bodies will come with the cardioid caps, and I also have the omni and hypers. All this stuff sells for $550 on ebay. These Oktavas are the ones manufactured in the US, not the Guitar Center one's that are manufactured in Russia, there is a big difference in quality control. Im selling these because I just recently upgraded to some Schoeps. Here's what I payed for everything, make me an offer I cant refuse :).
MC 012's: $325/pair (with cards)
Hypercard Caps: $125/pair (never been used)
Omni Caps: $125/pair (never been used)
If one person takes it all Ill throw in a pair of Ultra-screen US-2 windscreens that retail for $100.

Hello all:
The purpose of this groups is to trade high-quality live recordings
of Tenacious D that will rock your ears off! Now that they
officially allow taping, the hope is that more recordings will begin
to circulate.
Please note: NO MP3 sourced trades allowed on this list! There is a
great deal of D that circulates in MP3 form, however this list will
contain only pure uncompressed and losslessly compressed formats that
are digital clones of the masters (DAT>CD, DAT>shn, CD>CD, DAT>DAT).
So please, sign up for the list, go out and tape the D and let's
start circulating the shows.
To subscribe, send an email to: digi-d-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

According to the Symantec Anti-Virus Research Center, this new email
virus sends an attachment called "Readme.exe" which somehow you
will NOT see and which can infect you computer *without* having to
click on the attachment.
It is not immediately clear how to identify or avoid running this virus.

Namaste Y'all!
thanks for the replies to my 7-pin questions...i'll
get back to those individuals soon...
Now for the hard part - it seems my DMic20 has shit
the bed as well :(
It has been a work horse for me and i love the A>D /
phantom pre-amp combo, but admit to being nonplussed
re: the lil toggle switches that lay down only before
the all-mighty toothpick.
I love the clarity of the Apogee's i've heard, but
since i love to stealth (and it loves me!) i'd like to
have the best of all worlds in one (sorta) lil
package.
Any reccomendations?
Anything out there for sale?
I'm also thinking about upgrading my cables.
What i have of my rig that works ;) are Microtech
Gefell 300's, my trusty M-1, a Tascam DA-302, and the
Samson Mixpad 4.
Some pre-amp/A>D combo that goes well with the above
is what i'm after.
thanks for the space and time
take care

BWT: i only got one reply for that Living Daylights
show (09.04.01 Flag) so i'll still take two more B&P's!

Some months ago, I was on the prowl for a dap-1 power supply.
In the event, I got a few leads, but all ran cold. Until I found a dealer
who could supply one for the princely sum of $250 or so.
So, I wonder if anyone has a junked one with its lead intact they would be
willing to part company with.
I am looking for the lead specifically.
Thanks for any help.

Subject: More details on the new Virus (Nimda)
Reply-to: gdavis@loop.com
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 17:27:39 -0700
Here is more information I was able to obtain from SAVRC on the
new virus. It looks like people running Outlook vers. 5 and below
and Eudroa 5 or below are particularly vulnerable, and should
upgrade or patch immediately. These people can be infected just
by opening the message, without clicking on any attachments.
--Gary
1. The Readme.exe attachment is not visible ONLY in certain versions of
Outlook (version 5 and below). The reason why is because the e-mail message
that contains the worm is actually malformed, so it is encoded in a way that
confuses e-mail program, causing the attachment to not be visible.
2. As mentioned above, Nimda was designed specifically to be malformed.
Thus, it confuses Outlook into thinking the worm is a .wav or music file.
Outlook is configured automatically to play or launch .wav files without the
need to double-click on the attachment.
3. Although users can be infected by the worm by double-clicking on the
attachment from any e-mail program, only Eudora (versions 5 and below) and
Outlook can launch the worm without double-clicking on the attachment.
These answers are from Carey Nachenberg of Symantec Security Response.

Subject: Audiophile 2496 for Win2k
Reply-To: Brad Wiseman <wiseman@redhawkaig.com>
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2001 22:08:06 -0700
Thanks to Doug Nawrocki for goading me into attempting the
installation of the latest M-Audio drivers on Win2k... again!
As it turns out, it is possible to get the Audiophile 2496 to do both
S/PDIF input and S/PDIF output on a Win2k machine. The problem is not
with the hardware. The problem is with M-Audio's instructions on how
to do it.
I agreed to post the details if I ever got it to work, so here goes...
I did a lot of messing around with this, so I hope I have identified
the critical details. (If nothing else, maybe this poor attempt will
inspire M-Audio to revise their installation instructions for Win2k
machines.)
0) Ignore M-Audio's instructions (they don't work).
1) Download the latest Delta drivers (called wdm512120.exe).
2) Download the latest Delta Uninstaller.
3) Run wdm512120.exe which loads the drivers onto a floppy disk.
4) In Device Manager, right click on M Audio Delta Audiophile and
choose "uninstall".
5) Hit Start/Run and hit the Browse button.
6) Browse to the location where you stored the Delta Uninstaller.
7) Select Delta Uninstaller.exe and hit OK.
8) Hit OK.
9) Hit the resulting button that removes the drivers.
10) Restart your computer.
11) DO NOT allow Windows to proceed with installing the "new" hardware
it finds. If you proceed, Windows installs some of its own
plug-n-play drivers. There are a couple of other buttons that you have
to hit in order to shut down the plug-n-play wizard.
12) In Device Manager, right click on the Sound, Video and Game
Controller device that has a yellow circle and exclamation mark on it.
13) Select Properties.
14) Choose reinstall drivers. (I'm writing this from memory so hit the
button with the most similar label.)
15) Choose to specify a device and browse to your floppy containing the
drivers you stored in step 3.
16) Follow the rest of the on-screen instructions and let it reboot
your machine.
I think these are the critical steps to install the latest drivers and
make them work on your Win2k machine. I did a lot more than these
steps, but these are the steps that I think resulted in loading the
drivers correctly.
