Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 20:16:15 -0700 The manual will be a copy of the original. The wired remote has never been used and still has the Sony twist tie on the cord. Did try it and it does work. I only have 1 remote but can make many copies of the manual. The remote is 35.00 and the manual is 12 a piece. Mail me for more info. =A0 kombi@tstonramp.com Will Trade for a copy of one of the David/Hagar Tour Any Anthrax Any Aerosmith Any Ozzy=20 ------------------------------ From: Keith Bode Subject: EAC Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 20:37:51 -0700 What EAC is for, why it was designed, and what it excels at, probably beyond any other program is copying from a CD to a .wav file on your hard drive, accurately. It has all kinds of abilities to run repeated tests of the copying, a proces known as DAE, to make sure the copy on the Hard Drive is identical to the CD, only in .wav format. It also includes the capability of running a check-sum to make sure of it's accuracy. If the program has a shortfall, it's the fact that it can't tell if the CD-ROM you are using is accurate or not, so the results are only as good as the hardware. In addition to the extra features, like playing music, it can also burn CD's and a few other neat tricks. I personally use it repeatedly, and have for several years.

Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 01:25:31 -0400 (EDT) He played 5 shows in NYC last week with all cover songs, including some completely bizarre ones, and I am dying to hear it. Have lots of RT masters and lots of other stuff to trade.

Lately, I've noticed a disc I burn in this unit will not play back in this unit. It'll say it's a "new disc". Crazy thing is the disc will play in the car or other players, and will burn in my duper.... Has anyone experienced this? I am wonderiing if a cleaning will take care of it. It has never been cleaned or serviced in the 5+ years. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ From: "Bob Siegl" Subject: NRBQ Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:52:26 +0000 did anyone make a great tape of NRBQ at the bonaroo festival? i heard they were really good. i'd like a copy. please email me and tell me what you'd like in return. adios bob _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ From: Klay Anderson Subject: SM58 Answers Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 09:00:12 -0600 Darren Subject: Shure SM58 questions Asked: > I was at the pawnshop the other day and saw a Shure Brothers SM 58 microphone. > > I am thinking about making a "poor man's taper rig" for myself and looked at > the spec sheet on the Shure site and they say that it is a vocal cardioid mic > > Are these mics good for live taping? > Like any mic, sure it will work, but to what degree? This is the wrong mic for the job due to design, sensitivity, matching and proximity effect. But in use, you will get a recording. Maybe not the best, but if you can only pay "pawnshop" prices.... > Can I break the capsule compartment open make mods easily and use them with a > mini disc recorder? > Not recommended. The capsules are shockmounted and you will destroy them if you try to take the element out of the mount. You can unscrew the assembly from the handle, but I have no idea why you would want to. It's too big for "stealth". Especially in stereo. > Now I know that these are XLR capsules and I will have to add the required > resistor to make them work with a mini plug > No, they are microphones that terminate in an XLR, but the capsules are soldered connections that go to the primary of an internal matching transformer. The XLR connection reflects the secondary of the transformer. And you do not need a resistor, you need an electrolytic or tantalum capacitor that will block the DC bias from the MD deck yet is of a value large enough not to affect low frequency rolloff or be shorted by a the DC voltage. The cap must be installed properly to prevent the DC from reaching the transformer or mic diaphragm. You would do better to save your bucks and buy a set of mics designed for music recording. I have a small electret stereo mic we sell imported from Germany designed for MD use that is only US$99. Inquire. > Is the 50hz rolloff achieved with inside capacitors or is it a characteristic > of the mic element? > The mic element design. > The 50hz roll is too severe, IMHO. > It is ideal for the intended microphone application.

Don't get all up tight so soon. But I know what you're saying. I've had a few instances where you feel like someone is teasing you. I used to get annoyed, play their "game" if you will, sometimes putting up with it for months. But I have really hit the phase where I've said fuck it it's not worth it.

The CM8738 does 16-bit well, but cant handle 24-bit, which may be a factor if you want to playback the 24-bit stuff now coming into circulation. I really like the new ego-sys (ESI) waveterminal 192L. It's only $150 and has a 24/96 optical out. I beleive its the cheapest pci cxard that uses the direct sound driver, so it can handle 24-bit in winamp/soundforge/other non-asio apps. cant vouch for its digital in, tho, as my card doesnt have that option (its $50 extra, and I dont need it... ------------------------------ From: "Bob Siegl" Subject: for sale NAK BX300 cassette deck Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 18:43:56 +0000 i would like to sell my nakamichi bx300 cassette deck. this is a 3 head deck, dolby b and c, type I II and IV tapes. little brother to the dragon. pitch adjustment. nice big meters. 18-20K freq resp. i have the original box. i've been done with my cassette transfers for a long time now, so maybe someone else could use this. i will ship by fedex ground at my expense unless you would prefer to ship a different way. $125.00 i could probably throw in a few blank tapes too. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ From: "Jay Powers" Subject: Loud Crowd/Quiet music Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 15:15:12 -0400 I could use some advice on recording in a situation where the crowd is louder than the music in between songs and during highlights in the song. How do you get a loud enough recording level without going over with the crowd noise?

This is mainly for those in the general St. Louis area. The Outfield will be playing the Jefferson County fair this coming friday 7/19, 9:00pm main stage. I'd go and tape it myself, but i'll be on a Rush mini taping trip (please, no Rush requests just yet.) If someone happens to be going anyway, all the better, but if you need encouragement, i'll spring for admission if there is any into the show. You can let me know either before or after the show that you have it.
