CRN will take place December 7-9 in Ennepetal, Germany. Saviour Machine will be playing on Sunday the 9th. I made an excellent 2 CDR set of their performance at Cornerstone 2001 that I would love to trade for the CRN show. Eric was very cool about letting me record at Cornerstone and didn't mind me trading it; don't know about the CRN venue taping policy. The Violet Burning will also be playing at CRN on Friday, Dec. 7th, and I have several TVB shows to trade, as well. http://www.christmasrocknight.de/ Ragan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ From: kenko1@ix.netcom.com Subject: Modification of a factory Sony 7 pin coax? Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2001 13:24:50 -0500 Hi all, I recently acquired a brand new Sony 7 pin digital coax cable and would like to get it modified so it can do both digital in and out. Is there a place where I can get it done hopefully locally in San Francisco Bay Area? If not, where can I send it in (and the approximate price of this mod job?) Cheers Ken ------------------------------ From: "Ragan Todd" Subject: Peak level meters on M1 Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2001 18:27:31 On more than one occasion, I have had my peak recording levels show "OVER" while taping a show. When I have listened to the show later, I don't hear the dreaded clipping everyone tries to avoid. Are the M1's meters just extra conservative? As an experiment, I have purposely recorded at higher levels to hear the result. Here's the process: I connect my M1's line out to a bass rolloff filter and then to my CD burner's analog inputs (this also reduces the excessive bass of this recording). I play the DAT, making sure the burner's meters never exceed 0 and burn to a CD-RW. I then reverse the connections, playing the CD-RW through the burner's analog outputs, the rolloff filter, and then into the line in of the M1. I intentionally set the recording levels so that the average peak is at 0 and the highest peaks register "OVER." I end up with a recording that has less bass, higher volume, and no distortion that I can hear, even at high volume on my home speakers. Although most traders wouldn't want an analog copy, I end up with a better sounding listening copy of that concert. To ask my question a different way, is there a safe recording level above that which registers "OVER" on the M1 meters? Anyone else experience the same thing with their M1s?

It is their full set as they opened for SCI and was recorded w/ DPA 4023 mics right behind the SBD, DFC. It's on one KAO 60m DAT. In return, I'd like a sealed Sony or Maxell 60 or 90m DAT plus postage. First to respond after the Digest hits my mailbox gets it (unless you're willing to do B+P's for others, which I would give preference to...in which case tell me how many you're willing to make). -Dan- ------------------------------ From: Nick Zuccaro Subject: dpa 4060 powering options?? Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 12:44:03 -0800 (PST) hey there, i'm looking at a pair of 4060 mini omnis and was wondering about how to power them, right now i have a pcm-m1 that has the plug-in power on the mic input, i was wondering if it can correctly bias a set of 4060s or if i need to either get the DPA battery box (9v)to power them or a seperate preamp w/phantom power and the 48v phantom microdot->XLR adapter?? since the m1 runs off of 3 volts, the plug in power bias can't be more than 2 volts or so, i'm wondering if that will be enough headroom for the mics or not...also, does anyone know if the p48 adapter is active or passive? on the recording side, i've run jecklin disc recordings before in the studio with radio shack onmi condenser capsules and i really like the 'hemisphere' pickup pattern, but certainly haven't run one at a show, i know that MBHO makes a jecklin disc, but other than that haven't heard or seen too much about it...anyone else ever heard any jecklin disc recordings?? l8r..Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He is very taper friendly and encourages taping, trading, posting on the internet, >whatever as long as you send him a copy. I never talked w/Popa, but once (about 5 years ago) his manager, Lisa (if remember her's name) contacted me after a search on the net where she found I got a dat by Popa I recorded in Italy at Pistoia Blues Festival (7/6/96) She was very rude and she wrote me to delete immediately from my list , if not she would ask to lawyers to write me I answered that my list was intended only to trade and I didn't sell anything (as well explained at the top of my list ). I explained that in same night Phish and Santana (they were highlights of the festival) permitted recordings. I told her the philosophy of tradings, that we tapers not only want preserve recordings, but want also help unknown artist (as Popa was) spreadings recordings to other people (as Phish, ABB, G.Dead and the same Santana did) She answered me asking for the dat, and if she and Popa could think it was good sounding, may be permitted to listed . I was upset and I decided don't send anything and delete this dat from my list. Since that day, I've taped, also from FM, other Popa recordings, but those, remembering that discussion, are not to trade. btw- Popa is a good guitarist and his music is well played with soul, sweat and passion. He worth a check if in your town BTW2- If now he permits tapes trading, I suppose finally he changed his manager ;-) my o,2 cent Alf ------------------------------ From: "DRider" Subject: Michael Schenker Group Tour Dates Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 18:00:41 -0500 November 26, 2001: House Of Blues, Chicago, IL http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/chicago/ November 27, 2001: House Of Blues, Chicago, IL http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/chicago/ November 28, 2001: House Of Blues, Chicago, IL http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/chicago/ November 29, 2001: OTTO's, Dekalb, IL http://www.ottosdekalb.com/ December 1, 2001: Pop's, Sauget, IL http://www.popsrocks.com/ December 5, 2001: Icon Supperclub, Palo Alto, CA http://www.iconsupperclub.com/ December 7, 2001: The Roadhouse, Sacramento, CA http://roadhouserocks.com/ December 8, 2001: Ventura Theater, Ventura, CA December 11, 2001: House Of Blues, West Hollywood, CA http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/sunsetstrip/ more dates to be added soon!

Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001 09:23:11 -0700 Hi folks, Just a question to see where people are on this issue. Imagine I had 100 - 90 meter dat tapes, with music on them and I wanted to trade for blanks. I prefer to get 60 minute tapes back, is it ok to ask for more 60's in return - like 150 60s to cover the 100 90s to make the tape length equal for the trade? I also hate to clog this forum with the results, so please mail your opinion to prennix@fortnet.org and I will post the results. take care, Colorado Paul ------------------------------ From: "J.
