Brown) Subject: help with 4061 Reply-To: Scott.C.Brown@Dartmouth.EDU (scb) Date: 17 Oct 2001 15:21:29 EDT so back in camden this summer, one of my dpa 4061s broke, the connector came off. tgi north america, the dpa distributor, then sent me a replacement 4060 instead of a 4061. so i sent it back then they sent me a black 4061, and i have beige mics. so i sent it back then they sent me a mic which was 16 db off my 4061, so i sent both back (after using them once). now they tell me in order to resolve this thing, which goes all the way back to june 24, i need to buy a brand new 4061 from them for $420, since the defective mic is out of warranty. please, someone on this list tell me you know someone with a beige 4061 they want to part with, because $400 is more than i paid for the original pair of brand new 4061s scott

From: "Mike BB" <oongowa@rochester.rr.com> Subject: distortion problem Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 17:49:16 -0400 So, I taped the band Dianogah last night. They consist of two bassists and a drummer. They don't sing so I set myself up in the center of the stage with one mic pointing towards the bassist on the left of the drummer, and one mic pointing to the bassit on the right. The stand was about 4-5ft away from the drummer. Everything sounds great...the right mix of each instrument....BUT I'm getting distortion all over the place. When I record some of it into Sound Forge, the levels never clip, or go past -2.5dB to be exact....but when things get a bit loud, the peaks go flat. The levels on my D7 never clipped, the levels on my A/D converter were great all night, yet I still get distortion. Its almost like brickwalling, but I'm using the digital In on my D7. My only thought is that maybe the music was too loud for my mics? Is that possible? I've done on-stage recordings before but never of a band this loud. If I used my -10dB pads would that have solved my problem? Is this what the -10dB pads are for? I thought they were used if you were overloading your preamp. I had this same problem with another VERY loud show a couple of months ago (Tortoise) but I thought I just had my levels turned up too high...so I played it safe this time. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, if you like Tortoise and bands like that (instrumental indie rock) check Dianogah out. They're playing with another band that is just as good.

Reply-To: <sundance@olywa.net> Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 17:19:00 -0700 I'm not even close to being a legal expert, but it seems to me that if I had several hundred hours invested in MP3s of my own music (that is music that I had written and produced myself) on my computer and the RIAA came along and destroyed them, they would be in for lawsuit of grand proportions.

From: Dave & Ceil <daverite@erols.com> Subject: Re: Vinyl Noise Reduction Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 23:03:42 -0400 Hi, For records that are in relatively good shape that I just want to remove vinyl noise, I use Cool Edit Pro. I sample the vinyl noise and then delete it from the wav file. Since most of the noise I'm trying to get rid of is low frequency rumble, I ramp off the noise reduction in the 14-18k range. That seems to eliminate most all of the artifacting I was getting in the hi-hat area of the drums. Probably not that scientific, but it sounds good to me. I haven't found anything that will fix pops to my liking so I leave those alone, I prefer a little crackle to digital artifacting anyday. -Dave

From: "John Kupchik" <blueskied@hotmail.com> Subject: ISO: Soundman OKM II mics Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 21:46:46 -1000 Hi Does anyone know a website where I could order the Soundman OKM II series mics? I have looked all over, and all I've found is the official site, which is in German, and no info on prices or where to BUY them or anything. I saw on one site they go for about 350DM (about $170). Is this an accurate figure, or are they significantly more? Anyway, I'm just looking for preferably a US company that sells them online, or some UK site where I could order them, or at least see the prices!! I live in Hawaii. I have gotten shows made with these mics, and I really like the sound. Sounds better than my CSBs, and I love the way you can wear them like earphones!! That's the main reason I want them. thanks, john
From: "Rob Fighter" <rfighter@qs2.net> Subject: A worthy read Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 09:53:47 -0400 This was in today's eWeek IT newsletter. You'll have to "read between the lines" a little here because this article only relates the RIAA's proposal to IT interests. I think that there real intentions reach well beyond the author's IT perspective. Interesting that a group always known for their "bleeding edge" policies and practices (laugh) is now at the forefront of the digital realm. Maybe it's time to take down our publicly viewable trading lists. I didn't realize that terrorists were so into Metallica tunes ;-) You should especially enjoy the last paragraph. Peace VIGILANTE COPYRIGHTS THREATEN WEB SERVICE ADOPTION -- By Peter Coffee -- What are the rights of creators of digital content? The Recording Industry Association of America wants to embed an extreme position on this question into anti-terrorism laws, possibly triggering a backlash that could hurt other network content creators--especially would-be developers of Web services. We're used to seeing applications come to users through discrete transactions. Terms of use can declare and limit the intended functions of the software. A license or contract can try to limit liability for defects, and establish jurisdiction over subsequent disputes. I won't try to resolve the resulting argument over whether packaged software is a good (covered by the Uniform Commercial Code) or something else. I won't address the question of whether a "shrink-wrap" license is a proper contract, with actual and comparable bargaining power on both sides of the deal. If any reader of this newsletter knows of persuasive test cases, I'd appreciate a pointer. But these are old questions, even if they are still largely unanswered. I want to get into a more novel question: Does copyright include a sort of hunting license that excuses harm done to infringers--or even just suspected infringers--in the course of enforcing ownership rights by means of vigilante justice? The RIAA seems to anticipate future collateral damage to the "availability of data, a program, a system or information," in the words of a first-draft proposal that even the RIAA may soften in continuing discussions. But be that as it may, the association wants an exemption up front from criminal liability resulting from such ill effects. The RIAA seeks to protect copyright holders from anti-terrorist rules against computer attacks if the holders' harmful actions, or those of their agents under law, were "reasonably intended to impede or prevent the unauthorized transmission of [copyrighted] work [if] such transmission would infringe the rights of the copyright owner." Make that umbrella any bigger, and you could use it as a strategic missile defense. If someone steals my car, and I give chase in another vehicle and cause damage to people or property, can I claim that I was merely trying to protect my own property rights? Or will the court declare my actions to be reckless, even criminal? Should the power to carry out enforcement actions in cyberspace be limited to those with proper training and tools, not to mention lawful authority? If I have licensed a Web-based application, not knowing that it incorporates third-party modules linked across the Net without those parties' consent, can those third parties act against me without judicial process in a way that causes me grave harm? What are my rights of redress against such damage? If Web-based applications draw their licensees into this kind of Wild West culture, will enterprise IT buyers decide to hold off on adopting Web services offerings? Will those buyers stay with an acquisition model that gives them, even under the noxious UCITA, at most one enemy? And how long can any industry last when it starts to treat all of its customers as outlaws--who merely have yet to be caught?
