The following might not be the most elegant method, but it's the most
reliable:
--Using CoolEdit (even the trial version will work for this), open each file
consecutively using File | Open Append. This will give you one long wave
file with all the individual tracks in the right order.
--Zoom in at the Cue Bars (make sure View | Show Cue Bars is enabled) and
delete the silence.
--Save the resulting file
--Respecify the track markers using cdwav www.cdwave.com and reburn the disc
with any program that can burn from a cue sheet.
This may be cumbersome, but at least the gaps will be totally gone (as
opposed to programs that purport to delete silence at file ends, but don't
really), and the new markers will be on sector boundaries so you won't be
passing on poorly tracked discs.

Hey all,
I'm in search of any good quality dat recordings from Westy's recent instore
tour. I've got the SF show to trade.

Recently I read about WavTrim.
http://www.logiccell.com/~mp3trim/wavtrim.htm
I have never tried it, nor am I in anyway affiliated.
I don't know if there are any pitfalls, sector boundary issues, etc.
But possibly this will prove an efficient and quality tool for someone.
peace, further...

Anyone get a recording of this great show? I was all set to record and

Having finally after many many years acquired a reel to reel tape recorder
(in excellent condition), just for the fun of iot I'd love to get hold of a
bunch of tapes. (I've managed to get a collection of pre-recoreded classical
tapes for dirt-cheap prices too) - if anyone has any tapes they would like
to trade for or can clone tapes etc., I'd love to hear from you.
Best Wishes

I'm afraid I'm not doing the art much justice with my stealth
recordings. They come out good enough for my tastes, but I could easily
be making tapes that are just a bit better. My rig: SPCMC10 hyper - SP
batt box - D100. I have a shirt with a hole cut in the collar where I
can run the wires to my mics held by a couple of loops. You purists
can say what you will about the hypercardiods, that's my sacrifice for
less crowd noise. However I acknowledge I'm doing something very wrong
using HC mics and a random mic direction. And I want to get the mics
off my body so I can boogie a little. You can see that this isn't a
lavish setup ... and so a full on tripod mikestand would be overkill.
And any show I'm at where I could have a mic stand - there will be
"real" tapers at.
I'd like to have a plan B for the ambiguous situations where I can be a
little more obvious about what I'm doing. I'd like to devise a small
mount for the mics, but don't want to end up with a hand held. I carry
a small roll of duct tape, and could work something out with a cocktail
table or a balcony railing... but I'm thinking more in terms of
amphitheatre FOB or standing on the floor of a G.A. show. Someone here
posted his intent of buying a monopod for this purpose but it never
turned into a thread. STEALTH TAPERS, what do you do?

hi, if anyone's done any crisp masters of the current
Spiritualized / BRMC tour, I'd love to hear from you.
i did a great master of the show in Denver last month
(dpa4061 > d8), and i'd love to trade with anyone
who's got any spiritualized, current or otherwise.
thanks,

Subject: 4061s > Sonosax SX-M2 > Sony M1
Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 11:35:55 -0700
Here I am again with these incessant questions. Anybody running this set
up? I am trying to determine if there is that much advantage to running the
SX-M2 as the phantom power supply and mic pre over the DPA battery box
(MPS6020) and straight into the M1 via Line or Mic-In. The Sonosax is sure
nice for stealthing but slightly bigger than I'd like (I'm afraid it might
get me popped at the door of some venues). What is the typical battery life
of a pair of 150mAh 9V NiMH when running these mics at a rock show (yet
another drawback of the system)?
Thanks,
ANDY

Is there anyone out there with a copy of the Beatlejam show from 1/20/02
(Webster Theater in Hartford)? I have a nice recording of the show, but
there is a skip during the Vince Welnick set (first song). I'd love to either
get a clean version of this source or use another to patch it up. Please e-

I am changing how I store my CD's. I have 20 of these. They hold 10 CD's per
box in special protective sleeves similar to ProSleeves. They call theirs
"Safety Sleeve". I bought these 2 months ago. They are clean and like new. I
just numbered them. But you can print your own new box covers. Much like
printing CD jewel case inserts. The box has two rings that allow the CD
sleeves to be removed. These sell for $46 + shipping. I'd like to get $30 +
shipping. Check them out at the Univenture web site. Go to the "Unikeeps
Disc Wallets", then the "Unikeeps Disc 10".
They have a Microsoft Word Template which can be used to print new box
covers. The entire box has a thick vinyl sleeve which the new labels can be
inserted into.
