(if i'm being paranoid/retarded, etc - my apologies...) take care, rob _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ From: "Bas Ruesink" Subject: OT: CD box that holds 8 cds?

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?..(snip)..Do you suppose they'll stop putting de-emphasis capability into CD players/D to A converters?....<< You only need to place a pre-emphasis flag once, at the very end stage when your burning software is shipping the music out to cdr. Before that, there is simply nothing inside the structure of that wav file on your H/D which lets it announce its pre-emphasized condition to the world - or as Gianni Pavan earlier in this thread aptly put it, "hey, my high frequencies are higher than normal!". As an analogy, consider how you airmail a parcel: when you walk up to the Post Office desk, there is nothing on the outside - or inside, for that matter - of your wrapped parcel (wav file) which announces its intrinsic airmail-deservedness (de-emphasis neediness). You have to instruct the clerk to afix an airmail sticker (cue file tells CDRwin to insert emphasis code). This sticker then alerts the postal sorters (detection circuitry) to put the parcel in the airport truck (de-emphasis) rather than in the rail depot truck. Regarding the choice between leaving pre-emphasis on your cd's/dats or "biting the bullet and getting this equalization thing over and done with", I would leave the pre-emphasis on if I envisaged subsequent copying to be exclusively outside the pc, i.e digital cloning, dat->dat or stand-alone cdplayer->dat, since those operations pass on the emphasis bits. I can't foresee de-emphasis circuitry being removed from cd- and dat-players since it is cheap to implement and may even be part of some license conditions. The risks are confined to when the music passes back onto a H/D (sounds like Snoopy's yearly trip back to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm ) - but there are, alas, many occasions when folks would be wanting to do just that...unideckers cloning dats; plucking out songs for convenient compilation cd's; inter-track noise editing etc. This is when vigilance, and rigorous labeling, is required. If you're squeamish about your recipients - or yourself, later - being less alert in spotting and preserving the technical description, then bullet-biting may be more prudent. There are still a fair number of emphasized commercial cd's in the stores, often from the classic music catalog recorded between the early 80's and early 90's. Out of curiosity, I have just used CDRwin's "Table of Contents" to screen five cd's, grabbed at random: only one had emphasis.

The previous place did not pan out. I don't think the club owner was really motivated to help out in promoting the event. There were also other factors involved such as location etc. So out with the old and in with new! Any ideas? I have a few places that I am considering but I am open to hear your ideas. I would like to find a place that I could grow my promotions potential. Especially promoting & presenting touring acoustic acts. Thanks in advance!

It is a USB digital audio device. With Analog and digital, both Coax and Optical in and out. I have transferred a fair number of tapes from DAT and Cassette to wav for burning or converting to shn. It has hardware resampling, and 24 bit A/D converter. I am using it on my home computer, as I don't do any live taping, and it works flawlessly for DAT or cassette transfers to my HD.

I have been trying to obtain a copy of VDAT, I emailed "Eddie" but it's been a week and no response. DAT2WAV doesn't work for me, so I need a copy of VDAT. I am trying to archive my masters on DVD-R for trading in full 48khz glory as well as make 48khz shns for distribution on FurthurNet (where 48khz shns are almost nonexistant). I am willing to pay the creator of this software for his work but I can't get him to respond so if anyone has an alternate email address or has the full version of the program it would be very helpful. Right now I have one master Glen Phillips DPA4060->DPA MPS6020-> ModSBM-1 (48khz)->D7 that I am dying to convert. I am taping Incubus, Big Head Todd, Nickelback, Elvis Costello, DMB and several orchestral groups all in the next month and would gladly send DVD-Rs to all that help of any of the shows. I plan to use the audio at 16/48 2-channel PCM and have still photos from the concert playing so that it will be playable on any home DVD player that will play DVD-Rs. Thanks in advance for the help. Chris BTW: If anyone needs help flashing a non-audio DDS drive to make it audio-capable I have just spent about 6 months researching this and have most solutions available to email; just drop me a line with what you have and we'll work from there.

I've been using 6V (6.6 actually) with my lead-acid gel-cells for field recording with my M1 for a while now. There doesn't seem to be any ill effects. I don't have a service manual, so I'm not sure what the internal regulator is like, but I don't think 6V is too much for it to handle. If anything, it may make a bit more heat than with the 4.5 V supply, but I doubt it's enough to do any damage. -- Wayne D.
