From: "Todd & Jen Guite" <guite917@suscom-maine.net> Subject: ISO "Twice" Trader-(Lost your email) Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 19:20:08 -0400 I just changed computers and lost your email in the change. I have some dats ready for you. Please contact me! Thanks for BW! Todd
From: DCin10AC <dcin10ac@comcast.net> Subject: FS: Gear Date: Sun, 04 Aug 2002 19:29:10 -0500 Not sure if this went through the first time or not. Apologies to the list if it appears twice... I've decided it's time to consolidate and scale my rig and some of my home gear down a little, so I figured I'd post here first to see what interest there might be. I have the following available: 1. Casio DA-7 with AC adapter, plus Eco Charge battery and Eco-Charger and hard plastic padded carrying case. The battery was giving me six hours or so between charges, but the last time I used it I only got about 30 minutes so it may need a couple of full discharges and recharges. I usually use AC as this is my "board patch" deck so the battery has been idle for a while. Internal battery also included. $575 OBO 2. Panasonic SV-255 with AC adapter, 2 Eco-charge 6V batteries, 2 Panasonic 6V batteries and one Powesonic 20 hour battery, plus an Eco-Charger to recharge them all. Also comes with one extra internal battery. $1000 for everything OBO 3. HHb CDR-850 - still works great, just don't have much use for it now because I go direct to PC. Original box, manual, etc. $500 OBO If anyone wants all of it the total price is negotiable. Also have a Sony XM Satellite Radio (home) if anyone's interested. I like it, but I just never listen to it so it's probably better off with someone else. I've probably turned the unit on less than a dozen times. Paid $300; looking for $225 or so I guess. Make me an offer. Anyone interested in any of these items please contact me directly. Thanks! Dirk

From: "Candace Horgan" <candace@spacewrangler.com> Subject: Cleaning up DATs Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 21:51:35 -0600 Brendan asked: <o EQ (primarily large amounts of bass roll-off) o Normalization o Compression (for situations where an attenuator cable was required or and/or the pre-EQ bass was extremely heavy and normalization doesn't completely fix the problem) o A few pop reductions (a case of a bad mic cable, primarily between songs when moving the unit to read the display) The last two are primarily to be "nice" to people's stereo equipment. My questions are specifically: 1. What would the recommended order of steps be? Where best is defined as "best output" based on both the reducing the effects of resampling errors as well as allowing my ears to make the best decisions along the way. 2. Would it behoove me to work in the 32-bit domain if performing multiple transformations or is 16-bit good enough?> Here's my general take on things. First of all, I don't use Cool Edit, I use SAW. If you load a 16 bit DAT tape into SAW, it automatically adds 8 bits on when you move it to a multi-track setting. All your compressiong, limiting, processing etc. then is done in a 24 bit setting, giving you more to play with. Before you burn to CD, you dither down to 16 bits. If Cool Edit works this way and you intend to do destructive processing to your masters, then yes, go to 32 bit. As for the other stuff: Order: EQ, compression, normalize, then do pop reductions to the new mix. On another note, I think you should try to avoid EQ at all costs, unless the master is really bad. Most CDs I've heard where people have done extensive EQ end up sounding worse. Besides, isn't the ultimate goal of the tape to give you the most accurate representation of what you heard at the show? If so, no EQ, unless the engineer didn't know what s/he was doing. Cheers Candace

From: Mark Mayhle <mark@mayhle.com> Subject: Sound card at Compter Geeks with SPDIF in Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 04:35:36 -0500 (CDT) I can't vouch for this card because I don't have one, but it uses a chipset that should be able to do bit-perfect transfers, and indicates that it has SPDIF input. And, only $12.50: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=rs-lx06b -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com

From: David Danek <hobbes4444@yahoo.com> Subject: ISO Newport Folk Festival '02 & Sony RMT-D100 Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 12:38:11 -0700 (PDT) Anyone catch the whole festival?? Would love a couple of DATs from it, especially Cockburn, Colvin, Brooke, Dar and Dylan. Also looking for the remote commander for the Sony D8/D100. This is not the small remote that is typcially included with the D100. It is a larger wired remote that includes record and track id features. Looking for a better price than Sony offers ($90) for a gently used one. Thanks, Dave BWT next go round, hopefully with some Springsteen shows!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

From: Brendan Hoar <brendan@brendan.org> Subject: Recommendations on Active Monitors / Powered Monitors Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 15:57:06 -0400 (EDT) I'm still working on getting my DAW setup up and running and need some more advice. I'm planning to run audio out to a DAT recorder in REC mode (no tape) to bypass the typically questionable computer sound card issue and use a known good D/A converter. I plan to then hook up the analog outputs of the DAT to a pair of active monitor speakers. Would anyone care to make recommendations on active monitors in both the <= $300 range *and* the <= $600 range, as I'm willing to give up one of my other planned purchases if the <= $300 range isn't worth considering. Thanks again, -brendan PS - I'm gathering the information folks sent on the DAT cleanup questions from earlier and will post a summary to the list shortly.
From: Clark Guy <guy.clark@sbt.siemens.com> Subject: R300 Problems Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 15:09:56 -0500 Hi, Fares! I think you likely have the lock (hold) switch turned on. THis is the switch that prevents you from accidentally changing anything while you are recording. I had this problem with my D-3 some years ago, and was very embarassed when I took it in to Sony (45 minute drive each way, then) and the tech took one look at it and pointed to the offending switch! (D'OH!!!) Check this out before wieldint pliers!!!! Hope this helps!! Guy Clark <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: "Fares Halteh" <Halteh3@rogers.com> Subject: R300 Problems Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2002 13:45:38 -0400 I set my deck to play back a tape to my digi card before I left my house the others day. It was a 3 hr Sony dat. Anyways I was gone for about 24 hrs, with the tape sitting in the deck the whole time (probably not the smartest idea). I got back home this morn. only to find a message reading "caution" on the deck. I now can't get the tape out of the deck; the door won't open. I tried powering the deck on and off with no luck. I can't rewind or play the tape back either, I just get the "caution" error. I want the tape out of the deck, and if possible I'd like to save the tape. I figured I'd post here before I hacked the machine with a pair of plyers. I bought the deck used with no manual. I have no idea what this "caution" sign signifies. Any help is very much appreciated. Again the deck is the Sony PCM-300, thanks. --Fares
