Too long for audio dat use. DDS goes up to 120 meters. Is that last 5 meters really that significant? (Are other characteristics, such as thickness, different as well?) Seth
From: Beast914@aol.com Subject: Comments the Behringer SRC2000? Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 22:41:26 EDT Does anyone have any opinions about this unit? Good? Bad? Good but there's better...? Im looking for a device that can do 48 to 44.1 on the fly (not using a computer) and I wonder if I should be considering this box. Anyone? Anyone?? Bueller? Thanks. D
From: "S Bastable" <s.bastable@villanova.edu> Subject: DAT Drive Info... Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 23:59:04 -0400 I am wondering if anyone can provide me information on the use of a DAT Drive for converting my tapes. I recently started DAT taping w/ a D8 (only taped 3 shows), but foresee the need for easy and efficent way to convert. Is a DAT drive the right way to go? I tape w/ DDS Sony DG90P tapes. They seem to use a format called Native 2GB. Thus, I believe I would need a compatable drive. What do people tend to recommend (please list some models)? What do you all use? Is this the right way to convert shows? eBay seems to have some very well priced internal and external DAT drives, are these a worthwhile considderation? I would appreicate any advice/assitance via e-mail at the below listed address. Thank in advance, S.

From: randy@monkeybiz.Stanford.EDU Subject: disappearing errors Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 23:51:25 -0700 (PDT) hi guys! i've noticed something goofy going on with my system lately... while dubbing dats into my computer, i'll sometimes notice dropouts (as I monitor the DAT via my stereo), but *most* of the time, when I check on the .wav recorded by my laptop, there will be no gaps... ...is it possible that the laptop has better error correction than the DAT deck? any other explanations for this? thanks! -rand0m

You have everything you need except software to do the resampling. For a low cost solution, you might consider N-Track (http://www.ntrack.com). For something more pricey, consider WaveLab 4 (from Steinberg). With the 48khz file open in CDWave, you can save it as a 44.1 khz file. Or, break it up into separate tracks, and then save those smaller files in 44.1 khz format. -Bill

Are you running your stereo through your computer or direct from the dat deck? If through the computer, I'd guess it can't keep up with both recording to disk and sending audio output, and it gives higher priority to recording. If directly, I'd guess that there are errors that can't be corrected (hence the dropout), but some digital signal (an incorrect one) is sent (because something must be) and that's what the computer gets. Where there's no gap, is the sound correct? (If you re-record the same dat, is there the same dropout? Do the .wav files differ there?) Seth

From: Steve Rodgers <lens@sprintmail.com> Subject: ISO: CSNY 2002 Shows Reply-To: lens@sprintmail.com Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 12:52:07 -0400 Hey now, If there is anyone out there who would kindly do me a B&P of a good CSNY show I'd really appreciate it. I'm just getting started and don't have much to trade...am stuck here on Martha's Vineyard and it's tough to get away..nothing going on here yet but maybe this summer at the Hot Tin Roof which is supposed to open again. Thanks, Lens
From: Bill Shaw <Bill.Shaw@hds.com> Subject: Subject: Bizarre Sony D3 Behavior Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 11:08:10 -0700 The D3 heads are toast. Maybe just dirty but more likely done for good. Give a good cleaning and if the problem still persists, have the drum assembly replaced. Bill ============================================================================ RE: My D3 will record merrily, showing levels the entire time. Upon playback, the tape has varying-length blank spots interspersed with chunks of the source I recorded. This blankness is not crackles or noise, but 100% signal loss. This happens whether I am using line in or microphone sources, and seems to have nothing to do with source material. It happens whether I am on house current or battery. I do not currently have a 7 pin (should be here Monday) so I have not tested digital in, but I would like to use my analog ins as much as possible, so I need to figure this one out. Any ideas? ============================================================================
From: Mac <mhathaway@netway.com> Subject: Trying to find Alex Chin Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 15:36:47 -0400 Hey folks, Anybody know an eddress or phone number, or even just a current company name, where I can reach Alex Chin, late of Australia. I am trying to reach him. Also, along the same lines, anybody out there have experience cleaning/lubricating a Sony 670 home deck? I've got one that has been sitting for a year, and now it keeps stopping by itself. The tape doesn't appear to be sticking to the head, as you can see the tape feeding into the tape housing when the take-up reel intermittantly stops turning. Rather, the take-up real appears to be the problem... I would send this in for a once-over, but the repair fund is depleted... Thanks Mac mhathaway@netway.com
