Thanks, Daniel ------------------------------ From: Malcolm Hathaway Subject: re: Tall (13ft+) Mic stand... spaced omnis, etc Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 21:56:56 -0400 Hey folks, Thanks for all the suggestions, both on- and off-list. I have to say, you guys are great. As for a single stand vs. two stands, as Stan said, discreet is the name of the game with classical, so I figured one stand would be better than two, as long as I don't need to spread the mics out two much. I figured I'd need a sandbag or somesuch, to prevent anyone getting poleaxed if things ever get tippy. Even better is to hang them, as Tom and Stan mentioned (I bought my spool of fishing line just for that!) but time constraints and unaccomodating venues (no place to tie stuff/no way to get to it/Reverend Bob says "Hell no, you're not hanging that from St. Bernadette's ear") suggest that I have a "plan B", such as a stand. What I have heard, especially regarding organ recording, is that a single spaced omni set is just the ticket. As I recall, the phase-cancellation issue is more a problem for stuff that will be broadcast on radio, as the broadcasting signals have a problem with cancellation. However, I don't actually understand why this *wouldn't* be a problem, even for regular listening. Maybe it has to do with the sound source being spread out rather than all (mostly) coming from two speaker stacks. To be honest, I haven't done a gig yet, so the issue of how far to the separate the mics is still open. Based on what I've read, you generally put the mics 1/3 and 2/3 across the front of the group, which, unless it is a big chorus or orchestra, generally isn't a lot more than an 8 ft spread, centered on the middle of the group. Larger groups require a center mic, etc. but I'm not there yet. Does anyone have experience with spaced omnis in this arrangement? The "hole in the middle" is something I'm a little concerned about, but I figured just keeping the mics within 6-8 feet would minimize this, and the expense of a wide image. Is this correct? Right now I'm puzzling over whether the 13ft Bogen or the 17ft will be better. The 13 footer has little air-shocks to prevent the raised sections from slamming down when you loosen the locknuts at the end of the night (bad for mics and fingers, I'm told). The 17 footer gets further from the audience, and possible gets the mics up to a better spot if you're working in a church or big hall. Of course, it'll be more tippy. Any thoughts about this? Again, thanks for all the input...

I have yet to see anyone explain that claim. It simply is claimed as fact, like there is O2 in the atmosphere. As far as I can see the only advantage is that md5 can be run on a command line or other programs, while CRC, you have to compare the hexadecimal results one to another. If someone could explain logically how the md5 is more accurate at adding then I will be able to understand why it's better. Until then, the claim that the md5 is better is about as well supported as the Warren Commission Report, IMO. Naturally, I use the md5 myself, as it's the accepted standard, but IMO DAE with a good CD-ROM, one designed for DAE, like a Plextor, yeilds as reliable results as using SHN.

I have yet to see anyone explain that claim. md5 has more bits than CRC, so it's much less likely to have an accidental collision--that is, the chances of two different files matching is lower. Also (and this probably isn't important in this context), md5 is cryptographically hard, so creating two files that match (for malicious purposes) is very difficult. Also (and this might matter), it's more likely that CRC will get the same result for two files that differ by some simple modification, such as adding a few samples.

Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 06:11:25 -0700 (PDT) Is it possible to set up an FTP server and put it out through a DHCP cable connection ? If anyone has a little time to try a download, I will share-out TOO-2002-8-3 SHN and WB2002-03-01(Waybacks -bluegrass) on my FTP and give them my assigned DHCP IP. This should be good for 24 hours, if cable co. doesn't block it. I would start on Sunday Eve. 8/25 and conclude the test on Monday 8/26 24 hours later. E-mail me to set up an time and I'll give you log-in/pass I would like D/L speed information, if log-in works. If sucessful, I'll try a multi-connection test shortly. I would also like to test releasing, if an FTP is in progress at lease expiration.

If you move the track marks by just one sample all the CRCs change drastically. I always use full-disc CRCs, which works for me because I use CDRwin with .cue files for tracking. Unfortunately a lot of people use burning s/w that doesn't support .cue files so it won't work for everyone. Still, even if I only keep my own CRCs it allows me to check my own clones. But this allows me to rant about track-based extraction in general. If you extract a bunch of tracks and one comes out wrong, it's tempting to just go back and do that track again. But then EAC's track synchronisation doesn't work because it no longer has a context to check against. I've noticed with track-based extraction that I occasionally get an inserted or deleted sample at the track boundaries. This was before EAC had its current track synchronisation strategy. I haven't done any checks since then. - mark ------------------------------ From: Mark McHarg Subject: Re: EAC CRC numbers Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 21:20:09 +0100 "Roger A Golliver" points out that > md5 check sum is better then the [EAC] CRC. This is true. MD5 gives you a one in 2^128 chance of error (2 to the power of 128 is a 3 with 38 zeros after it). EAC only uses 32 bits for its CRC which provides one chance in 2^32 (a 4 with 9 zeros after it). This is the probability of getting the right CRC with the wrong data. Assuming 10-minute extractions around the clock, the EAC CRC will miss an incorrect extraction about once in 80 thousand years. And since EAC gives me its checksum for free it means I don't need to run md5 on every extraction. - mark ------------------------------ From: "Joe Totoraitis" Subject: Keller Williams 4.26.02 at the Recher Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 16:40:47 -0500 I received discs from someone who says he got them direct from the AUD taper.
