RE: track-ids
Samplitude supports this feature. It's a checkbox in the record dialog
called "read CD/DAT marker". However your soundcard and driver has to
support this feature. I know that it works with some of the cards
manufactured by Marian, maybe others. (eg. ProDif96 Pro). Contact
www.marian.de for a list of cards which support the feature.

For those times when you want to record but a DAT
portable is too big. Write to me for details.
Happy Holidays,
Grape

Subject: 5.1 recording...
Date: 21 Dec 2001 17:24:15 -0800
Myself, along with some other Dave matthews Band tapers recorded the 6.24.01 show in Camden, NJ with 5.1 mixdown in mind. I'm sure others have done the same. Here's what we did...
We had 2nd/3rd row stack tickets. about 4 of us ran the gear off of 2 stands, one just a row behind the other. On one stand, we had a since onmi DPA 4061 mic. On the other stand we had 2 hyper-card Schoeps pointed to the rear at about 45 degrees and a pair of Earthworks SR-77's pointed foreward at ORTF. We got all the tapes with no cuts, gave them to the Earthworks owner (Scott.C.brown) and he has it mixed down and ready to burn on his DVD-R iMac...
Problem...
His software does not support compression of the music, so he'd need a bunch of discs to burn just one show. I'm not even sure if his current software supports DTS or DDS encoding. Apparently not, I guess, if he can't compress the audio.
So, it can be done, fairly easily, but blank discs are currently $30-$40 a piece, few machines can burn DVD's, the software can be expensive, and you might need some new software that doesn't come with your setup (assuming you are doing this on a computer).
Feel free to e-mail me with any specifics (might need to refer you to scott.c.brown). I'm in a rush at the moment...
H!

Just wanted to send everyone a Happy Holidays Greeting.
Seems like the holidays are getting more commercial everyday now and the
true meaning of the holidays are getting lost. Hope everyone is well, happy
and healthy. I hope the new year treats everyone well and that everyone
finds peace and happiness. thinking of you all and hope to see some of you
in the coming year.
Seasons Greetings,

I've had an analog tape of this for about 5 years. It came to me labeled
"11/79 Bottom Line" and from memory, its a full show, not highlights of the
4 night run.
The setlist is:
Phase Dance, Airstream, April Joy, Unity Village/Jam, The Windup, The Epic,
James, Old Folks, Jaco, The Magicians Theater, San Lorenzo, Cross the
Heartland, American Garage
Figuring I was NEVER going to come across a low-analog gen digital copy, I
ran it to CD some time ago. If you, or anyone else on the digest are
interested, mail me (plucente@blast.net) and we'll work something out.
The sound quality is exactly what you'd expect from an FM tape with an
unknown # of cassette gens. in it. Great performance, though.

be sure to check your new copy carefully if you try this method....it may or
may not help you
i *believe* that the option that jay wrote about may or may NOT do what you
want (i am not positive); i *think* that option is for leaving off
"pre-gaps" that are encoded as extra index points, not for coping with
actual blank spots in the recording from TAO, which i *think* that TAO will
also leave (also, very commonly a TAO copy will be subsequently copied as
DAO, but still sound like a TAO due to the blank spots etc, so you might
have a TAO-DAO...isn't CD-R trading fun? NOT!!!!)
you might want to consult the EAC users group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eac
IMO, for the best guarantee of a smooth track transition, extract the entire
disc as one wavefile, then open the wave file in a wave editor (EAC even has
one) & manually do editing to remove all the gap points, try to make things
sound as seemless as possible, write a simple cuesheet to lay down the new
marks, & reburn it
good luck!

Bit-wise, of course it is possible.
But, we are barely recording concerts in stereo right now - two
mics half-way back in the room is just phase-distorted mono IMHO.

Subject: puzzled by optical connectors
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 22:46:28 -0500
I recently bought a Zoltrix Nightingale with the optical kit. It came
with an optical cable, and I can't get either end of the cable to
plug into the connectors on the optical bracket that goes with the
sound card. The box says that that the cable is TOSLINK to miniplug,
and that looks believable. One end certainly looks like it could be
called miniplug. The plug at the other end looks like it would mate
with the jacks I've seen pictures of that were labeled TOSLINK. It's
got six sides and looks like it might have started out with a square
cross section and then had two of the 90-degree edges beveled off to
give it the two more sides (making the total of six). The problem is
that the optical jacks on the sound card bracket don't look like
that. They are flat squares about a quarter of an inch on each side
and stand up on little stalks that cause them to stick out about a
quarter of an inch from the metal bracket. I've seen plenty of
pictures of connectors like that on the backs of various DAT decks
that I looked at on ebay a few months back. They don't look at all
compatible with the pictures of TOSLINK plugs that I've seen nor with
the plugs that came on the cable that came with the Nightingale.
I've spent a couple of hours trying Google searches, and can't find
much that helps me. Can some of you guys straighten me out here?
Thanks

Hey folks,
Just got the following holiday update from the guys at Blue New World and
wondered if anyone would be willing or able to tape these shows:
"The Band just wants to take a moment and wish you all a Happy
Holidays.Thanks for coming out and supporting us throughout the year. I know
it is hard to believe, but the website actually should be up before the end
of the year. Surf on over next week and take a look. bluenewworld.com
We have two upcoming shows.
Thursday December 27 2001
FitzGeralds 6615 Roosevelt Rd. Berwyn, IL 708-788-2118. We go on around 9:00
Saturday January 12 2002
The Elbow Room 2871 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago, IL We go on around 11:30
Again all the best this holiday season and in the year ahead."
I'm currently stuck on the east coast and man do I miss the wind chill
factor. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Board access is ok with
the band but is probably more dependent on the venue. Contact me by reply
or at chris_melas@hotmail.com and I'll be delighted to set you up with the
band's contact info.
I'd be happy to spin a couple of freebies from my list to the kind soul who
is able to help out. To anyone else (the first to reply to
chris_melas@hotmail.com), I'm offering Steve Kimock Band 4/27 and 4/28/01
stage Schoeps...4 discs shn.
Can't wait to hear from some of you. In the interim have a wonderful
Christmas/whatever you celebrate and holiday season.
All the Best,
Chris in DC
