Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 02:55:47 -0500 Yes! I have gone through 10's of cases since they came out and never had a problem......... Just ordered 4 cases from Jamie & Aaron @ Masterpiece in fact ") Go for it! D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Rob Gronotte Subject: Are Sony DG60P tapes any good? Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 16:58:30 -0500 (EST) Has anyone used these recently? Had any problems with them? I have gotten some in trade before and never noticed anything wrong with them, but I have never used any Sony blanks of any sort myself. Seems like I heard once that some people had problems with the orange hub Sonys, but I don't know if they are still making them the same or not.

I found that some of them need their overall level increased. What would be a good (and cheap/free) editing program? I am using CDWave right now to split the tracks, but I would like to use something else.

Usually my DAT recordings which have pre-emphasis are 48 KHz. I need to resample these to 44.1 KHz to burn to CD-R. Is it OK to read the wave into the computer, software sample rate convert it and then just activate the FLAGS PRE when I burn the CD, not worrying about pre/de while the file is a wave? Actually, now that you've passed on the EQ curve, I may try that instead of the FLAG. Is this better? Do you suppose they'll stop putting de-emphasis capability into CD players/D to A converters? Alan ------------------------------ From: "Boogie Shafer" Subject: usb2 vs firewire (IEEE1394) comparison article Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 12:54:30 -0800 i came across this article and figured i would pass it on since it seems many of the digital audio interface technologies and recording technologies seem to be headed in the USB/Firewire direction. The article offers a general comparison of the technologies and some benchmarks based on a external HD example http://www.extremetech.com/print_article/0,3428,a=25038,00.asp the thing that stands out to me as a pretty major difference in the article is the amount of power that can be supplied over the interface; certainly looks like firewire (IEEE1394) is better suited for supplying power to chained devices (like mics/preamps/etc)...makes you wonder why we havent seen any portable firewire gear comparable to the usbpre, edirol ua-3/5 or egosys u2a for laptop recording. there seems to be a fair amount of studio rack gear based on firewire boogie WOB: i'll take 3 b&ps for Jack Johnson 02/14/2002 in Santa Cruz (audio cd/shn/60m) ------------------------------ From: "T.J.
