I'm an old DAT trader who has some new projects to work on... There's just two things I need to be able to do really... and wanted the best advice on how to do it... I need to be able to get my dats from my tascam DA-P1 to my hard drive so I can burn them, I already have everything to do the burning... and a brand new sony vaio computer... I got a soundblaster extigy but I'm thinking of sending it back because I don't think it will work well with the second thing I need to be able to do... Which is record microphone sources into my multi-track recording software... which is syntrillium cool edit pro... Is there a better way to be able to record from my da-p1 using spdif and also be able to take microphone sources into my computer.... the extigy could possibly work for both, but i'd have to get a microphone that used a 1/8 inch phono plug.... Do good ones even exist like that??? HELP!!!! ------------------------------ From: "Bob Siegl" Subject: Mr. Kindnation goes to Washington Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 20:53:40 +0000 Taking a long weekend to travel to our nation's capitol in the upcoming weeks.

The band is cool with taping, so no worries there. If you like what you hear, I have some nice shows to trade. If you don't, send me the tape and I'll reimburse you for the blank and admission. Check out the band's website www.anniequick.com for downloadable mp3s, especially "Too Late" from their just released album, "Orange Juice."

But now the question is what kind of adaptor do I need to use to go Zefiro mini-coax out>7 pin standard coax>M1? Can I simply use a standard stereo (or mono?) Radio Scrap miniplug>RCA adaptor out of the InBox's mini-coax jack? I bought the Zefiro InBox second-hand and it did not have the mini-coax adaptor that apparently is included when purchased new. I've had a lot of problems using the Toslink (optical out) with this when I stealth, I assume caused by bending the cable sharply when going out of the InBox. Any help appreciated. Dave PS - all 6 Springsteen B&Ps previously posted are now accounted for. sorry for those that didn't get one. will post other shows as they arrive in future grovels . . . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm CC'ing DatHeads to as the info may be useful to someone else: ^ tip -> coax digi-in center pin (+) ! ! outer ring -> coax digi-out center pin (+) ! ! inner ring -> coax digi-out sleeve (-) | | sleeve -> coax digi-in sleeve (-) ----- | | | | Note also that the digi-in (-) terminal is common with the chassis ground while the digi-out is not (it is coupled via a capacitor to chassis ground). Both digi jacks have a 75 ohm resistor across them internally in the deck (I just happen to have a DTR-80P that is in pieces right now). I've played a little with the digi-out both with a regular tip-ring-sleeve cable (which effectively grounds the digi-out to chassis ground when inserted) and using a test jumper to ground the digi-out (-) to chassis and it doesn't seem to affect anything while playing or recording. I don't know why Denon (Casio) decided to leave the digi-out (-) floating, but they probably had a good reason. I suppose in a chain with lots of gear all powered from different sources, it might cause a problem. I'll stick with my tip-ring-sleeve cable, but I'll bring the tip-ring-ring-sleeve cable along from now on in case there is ever a problem in a chain. -- Wayne D.

Thanks Christian ------------------------------ From: "Steve" Subject: Battery Life - M1 Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 08:41:25 -0400 Hello, I've always used a homemade battery sled, using some Radio Shack parts and 3 'D' cells. Great battery life, more life than the 1.2v 1300 mA batteries that came with the unit, but not exactly the most planet-friendly approach. Recently, my boss bought me a digi camera, which came with a set of 1800 mA Sony 'AA' 1.2v Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Question: Has anyone used these, and what kind of recording time can I expect? No time to test before a long recording gig. Thanks, Steve ------------------------------ From: "American-Digital" Subject: RE: B stock Sony PCM M1 units at American Digital? Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 09:38:42 -0400 Tom (and all), These B-stock M1's are in perfect working condition. According to our man at Sony they have ZERO hours on them. All were floor models used for display purposes only and come with the same warranty as "new" M-1's. The only thing that looks the slightest bit used on these decks is the box!! I would highly recommend these to anyone considering purchasing an M1. We've sold a bunch of these in the past 3-4 weeks and haven't had any problems with them yet. Feel free to call us with any questions/concerns. BWT...I'll offer up my Disco Biscuit 8/16/02 Central Park masters for Clone for another couple B+Ps. If you didn't get in last time give me another shout!!

Chris ------------------------------ From: audiocapable@earthlink.net Subject: Audio Capable DAT Drives - $80 shipped Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 13:12:30 -0400 These DDS-2 tape drives can read and write audio DATs. They have been sold as Archive/Conner/Seagate drives with the model names of Python 4326/CTD8000/Peregrine. They come with mounting rails and a faceplate that result in a 5 1/4 inch form factor for mounting in a standard drive bay. They are SCSI drives with the older 50-pin interface. These drives are used but are in working condition. They have the 01931-XXX 5AC firmware, which allows them to read and write audio DATS at more than double speed using the dat2wav or vdat packages. They are excellent for getting audio from a DAT onto your hard drive, with .wav files broken up by start ID, a perfect solution for converting to CD-R. Because they operate at double speed, they are also excellent for cloning. Price of $80 includes insured shipping in the continental U.S. by UPS Ground or equivalent. If you are elsewhere or prefer another mode of shipping, please inquire. Payment by PayPal, postal money order or cashier's check. Email audiocapable@earthlink.net with questions or orders. ------------------------------ From: Ryan Engel Subject: DAT Drives for PC Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 12:44:55 CDT I have recently seen a number of for sale posts about PC compatible DAT drives with audio functionality on this list. Does anyone have one of these drives and use it? If I purchased such a drive, would it enable me to make digital copies of a DAT directly onto my hard drive? Could I use it to make clones? If anyone has experience with these types of drives, please share with me privately or on the list.
