I hate to do it, I really love taping, but if I sell it, someone can make tapes wtih my gear, so I can continue to hear em :) Here's what I have Schoeps MK21H subcardiod capsule, high frequency boost Schoeps MK8 figure 8 capsule Schoeps VMS-02iB Preamp/Midside matrix, runs on 8 AA batteries Schoeps KCY250iY Active cable, allows you to use the 2 capsules with the preamp without having bulky mic bodies Schoeps A20 Shock mount Schoeps SGMSC Midside mount Bogen/Manfrotto 8 ft "lighting stand" with thread adapter for microphones black, very light Bogen/Manfrotto 8 ft extension, for when you need additional height Apogee AD500E Analog to Digital Converter, with power supply and battery/spdif cable Sony PCM-M1 DAT Very low use, This isn't the deck I took to shows... Oade Active 7 pin to coax in/out cable Assorted cables enough to connect this all together in any combination you can imagine Sony MDR-V6 headphones. These are the classic closed ear headphones, that sony replaced with the V600s a few years back that are vastly inferior. The only difference between these and the "pro" MDR-7506 headphones (that sell for $99) are these have aluminum instead of gold connectors. Sound great Boostaroo mini-headphone amplifier, lets you hear those headphones at a mule show Tenba photo bag, holds everything but the stand in an organized, protected way 10 new dds 90m tapes, 3 hrs each, probably a mix of quantegy and sony And as much assistance with how it all works together as you want. This is ABSOLUTELY everything that you would need to start taping. I've been building this rig now since 1997, and I would argue it sounds better in the right location than any rig out there. It can be very small, for when you don't want to have a lot of bulky, obtrusive equipment. It can be run high, when you're outdoors, and the crowd is noisy. Pick up a Schoeps MK41 and you can run it from the taping section at outdoor venues where you're 50+ yards from the stage. I never got one, because I tended to move the middle of the 10 yard line, but, you know :). Makes wonderful tapes from the 15th row center in a small theater, where mule loves playing. Makes wonderful tapes in bars, nightclubs, etc. I think anyone who's heard my tapes would attest to how good this setup can sound. I paid about $5000 for this, I'd take $3200. I have other things I can throw in for the right deal. I would be willing to sell the vms + kcy cable + any combination of other gear, but I'd be less likely to sell just the oade cable, or just the m1, for example. I'm between philly and new york, and could arrange to deliver it anywhere in the vicinity to avoid shipping. I have batteries etc if shipping isn't involved. paypal or cash preferred. if you want to pay via paypal, make sure you're verified, since they have a $1k max for non-verified people. I also have a scoeps ORTF bar (STC), a VX Pocket v2 pcmcia spdif 24/48 card, a sony pcg-c1x picturebook laptop with a 30gb drive, etc that I could be convinced to part with. -- (C) 2001 Daniel J.

She knows I go to a lot of concerts and tape (or at least, used to...) so, I'm apparently the lucky one who gets to help her... She has a pair and a single ticket(s) to the Paul McCartney show at Nassau Coliseum on Sunday, April 21 that she wants to sell. Here are the details: Pair -Sec 118 -Row A -Seats 11 & 12 Single -Sec 102 -Row D -Seat 15 Face for each was $250 plus service charges and other ticketmonster fees. She is looking for the best offer over $300 each. Please e-mail me and I will put you in touch with her. And before I get any flack, I tried to persuade her to just try to sell them at face but did I mention she's very cute? I mean, very. So, "I'll" pay for her blondness and give the first 2 analog and 2 digital people who respond (regardless of whether you're interested in the tix) a copy of the Allmans Brothers show from the Beacon on 3/24 I taped... Thanks for listening...

Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2002 23:40:55 -0500 Somebody confirmed with me that many of Creative Labs soundcards in the Live! Series [excluding some OEM versions] OUTPUT a voltage higher than the SPDIF Spec which is 0.5v The Live! Cards output 5 VOLTS and I read that this can damage the SPDIF IN on a DAT Recorder through the COAX RCA Port. I am worried about using my DA-40 with one of these cards. Can anyone confirm if this can damage? This is quite annoying since I just found out that the cards actually re-sample 48K and 44.1K incoming and outgoing signals also. studiowiz@sympatico.ca ------------------------------ From: mwilliamson@juno.com Subject: Dallas, TX Reunion Arena taping info?

I keep getting a message that says it can't find a bunch of files on my Windows CD-ROM (*.ax & *.sys files). If anyone has any ideas how I can get the drivers to install properly, please let me know. Thanks, Kevin WOB: I will take a few people for B&P's of my tape of Glen Phillips from 3-23-02 once I get my UA-5 running so I can convert it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Any bright ideas? I use Sound Forge 4.0. Thanks! I haven't used Sound Forge, but I have been able to correct mild clipping using the "clipped audio restoration" feature of Cool Edit 2000 (audio cleanup plugin). It's kind of a hassle to use, the settings need to be tweaked and each instance should be handled individually, but it can yield good results if you put in the time. From my limited experience (and grasp of the lingo) I believe actual brickwalling is much more serious than mere clipping; the overloading of the preamp introduces a truly horrendous, penetrating distortion that cannot be repaired this way. In my experience, if the distortion occurs as very brief high-pitched or "crackly" bursts (not in the bass frequencies or for longer than a split second), it might well be fixable. -Michael ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
