I used to love the Lemonheads during the It's A Shame about Ray and C'mon
Feel The Lemonheads era. Evan is playing here in town this Friday. Anyone
attempted or had any experience taping him lately? What was his set like? It
is nice to know that he is still around. Thanks!

Subject: Installation of Dat2wav on WinXP
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 19:47:05 -0500
Can somebody give me an idiots guide to getting DAT2WAV to work on a WinXP
machine? I've tried a bunch of stuff, and nothing seems to work, it was
fine on Win98SE. Can dat2wav work under XP?
Equipment (if that matters):
Asus P4B266
Pent 1.7/256 RAM
Advantsys SCSI card
Seagate CTD8000 DAT
Here's what I've done
--Unzipped DAT2WAV in it's own folder. Run c:\dat2wav /dat2wav
dataud/inputid 7:0 /out.wav
(bootup tells me the card's location is SCSI 7, tape drive is 0
(program opens an explorer window)
--Copied the Nero wnaspi32.dll into the dat2wav folder and rebooted
(still explorer window)
--deleted wnaspi32.dll from dat2wav volder. d/l forceaspi ran instaspi.bat
and rebooted
(loaded v. 4.60 of the adaptec aspi drivers)
(dat2wav still opens an Explorer window)
--downloaded demo version of vdat, unzipped, ran vdat.exe
(program runs just fine, although it identifies the tape drive as 2:0:0
ARCHIVE Python 01931-XXX5.63)
--so, thinking that vdat has identified the correct address for the card and
deck, run c:\dat2wav /dat2wav dataud/inputid 2:0 /out.wav
(still opens explorer window)
===================
I've tried running scsiping and that gives me the following error message:
"The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:0000 IP:0077 OP:f0 37 05 10 02 Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application."
id.exe works, and tells me
ID7 Adapter: ATAPI ASPI for WIN32
ID0 Disk: IC35L060 AVER07-0 ER60 Fixed
ID1 Disk: IC35L060 AVER07-0 ER60 Fixed
ID7 Adapter: ATAPI ASPI for WIN32
ID0 Disk: CD-ROM: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W2410 100 Remov
ID0 Disk: CD-ROM: ASUS CD-S520/A 1.7K Remov
ID7 Adapter: ASC ASPI for WIN32
ID0 Tape: ARCHIVE Python 01931-XXX 5.63 Remov
anybody help here?

Works fine for me.

This is not the correct ID. The 2:0 you got from vdat is probably what
you need. It's the ASPI ID, not the SCSI ID. I don't know why SCSIPING
isn't working for you. It could be an ASPI layer problem but if vdat
works, ASPI should be working I think.

I don't think this should do anything to help.

The one obvious problem I see is that you need a space after
dataud. dataud is the file name you're using for saving the WAV
file; /inputid is an instruction on where to look for the drive. The two
mustn't run together.
> anybody help here?
If that doesn't work, I wonder if you've contacted Jim McLaughlin. I've
found him quite helpful.

I have a Zoltrix Pro 6 Nightingale and I searched,
but...Is anyone got it working? I see that Zoltrix has
XP drivers on the website, but Midiman doesn't...All I
use it for is basic sounds and the digital IN. I want
to upgrade this week, but don't want to find out the
hard way it won't work...

Subject: FS: Midiman Audiophile 2496 Soundcard
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 23:55:01 -0500
Hey Everyone,
I purchased this sound card about 2 months ago, but soon realized that it
was too high-quality for my existing speaker system. I used it for less
than 10 days, and it still works perfectly.
You can see details of this card here:
http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/audiophile.php
The card sounds amazing, and works flawlessly under Windows 95/98/Me/2K/NT,
and Mac G3 & G4 systems.
The card includes RCA I/O, and a breakout cable for MIDI I/O, and S/PDIF
coaxial I/O. This card also includes a powerful digital mixer/router, and
control over SCMS. It also supports 24-bit 96kHz multitrack recording.
Specifications:
. Dynamic Range: D/A 104.0dB (a-weighted), A/D 100.4dB (a-weighted)
. THD: less than 0.002%
. Freq. Response: 22Hz - 22kHz, -0.4,-0.4dB
Please visit the website above for the system requirements, etc.
The retail price of this card new is $230 from Midiman's online store. I'm
looking to sell it for around $150, which I think is fair for being used,
but the price is negotiable; I'll be more than happy to work out a deal on
it.
Anyone interested can drop me a line at mike@realfx.com.
Thanks,
-Mike

but will be really user friendly for tapers ?
Example:

Crowds: stand up (as me)
Operation: open Laptop & start recording program
Result: the lights of screen video will help security to locate you !
Am I wrong?

Hay all
I have found a apparant deal on ebay australia, as Im an auzzie. Here
is the item
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1338280153
And below is the responce I got when I asked the guy how many hours the
deck has behind it . Does this seem bullshit ? Also,when phyiscally
inspecting a dat recorder, how can u tell how much use the deck has had
? How many hours use, is resonable ect...
thanks
Jamie
p.s auzzie, leave this auction alone, I need this deck for my Tool
Touring ;)
Hi Jamie
Thank you for your interest in this auction. I apologise for taking so
long
to get back to you, but I had to contact the owner of this item to get
the
details. In answer to your question, The unit has had approx. 8 hours
use
give or take an hour.
It has used one of the said tapes mentioned (but is blank now) in the
auction and the other three are brand new (never used).
The unit has not been used for approx. 18 months, hence the reason for
selling. It is in A1 condition (As new) and in PERFECT WORKING ORDER.
The
unit has been well cared for!!
There are NO scratches, dents or marks of any kind that I can see.
Cheers & thanks again

I'd argue this one.
I record 24/96 over USB 1.
The bandwidth is certainly available for it as 2496 does not max out USB
1 12mbps throughput. I believe it comes to around 7mpbs.
Faster pipe is always better though, of course.

Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 12:07:44 -0700
I've been following this orchestral recording thread with great
interest. I'm not planning on recording an orchestra, but I like the
background on when to use what technique. It seems like it would also apply
elsewhere.
I just got some great front row center seats for a MMW show in a
small-ish theater (seats 800) on April 13. I think I'm going to be able to
get a stand in and do a stage lip recording with my Oktava MC012's and M1.
I'm looking for more specific information about what might be a good way to
go for this configuration. I was thinking ORTF (with cardioids), but I have
never used that technique before. I have an AT t-bar, and just the plain mic
mounts that came with the mics. This puts them at the same height, so if I
cross the mic bodies, they will not be on the same plain (one will point
slightly up, one slightly down). I'm wondering if this is OK, or if I should
do something to be able to adjust the height of the mics so they can be on
the same plain. Maybe at this close proximity it won't matter. I've only
used them in a NOS configuration before, and maybe that would still be a
better way to go. What do you folks think? I'm trying not to sink more money
into the rig at the moment as I expect to owe Uncle Sam some money soon.
Otherwise I'd get some shock mounts with adjustable height to get around
this. Any tips appreciated!
