Drop me a line if interested and I'll send a link to my list. Thanks John __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Otherwise it seems the original idea of Normalization, or use EQ is the only way to adjust the levels. On the plus side of this, I had a CD-R recording, that was transferred and had the levels all overcooked, and massive amounts of distortion through the entire recording. By using EQ to bring down the levels, and some normalization, I was able to rid the recording of most of the distortion. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than what I recieved.

Reply-To: wayne@hoxnet.com Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 14:56:02 -0500 (CDT) I've been working on a linux program for reading/writing DATs on audio capable DDS drives and have gotten requests to make it available from a few people on this list. I spent a few days converting it from its rather esoteric nature that only I understood to a bit more of a usable program for others. I added some sanity checks and a wee bit of documentation and a few command line options to make it useful in an environment different from mine. If you are a linux user (or experimenter), have an audio capable DDS drive, know your way around a unix shell, and don't mind dealing with a bit of my eccentricity, then download and tell me what you think. Note: this is a command line program with limited functionality. It is still in the ALPHA testing phase. It is designed mainly as a tool for DATHeads like us to get audio information off a tape and onto a computer (or vise-versa). I may decide to make a nice pretty GUI application that will have DAT deck functionality (play, rew, ff, etc.) if there is a demand for it. http://www.hoxnet.com/dat-tools/wdat_0.01.tar.gz -- Wayne D.

They are brand new, only 2 months old. They are large diaphragm ADK A-51 TL's with 4 selectable polar patterns of cardioid, hyper cardioid, figure eight and omni. Brand new, 2 months ago, these mics cost me $1000. I'd like to either trade them for equally priced mics, or sell them for no less than $850. Included is a very nice ADK locking flight case, windscreens, shockmounts and padded leather bags for carrying the mics individually. E-mail me if interested or want to trade! -Jason B ------------------------------ From: Duncan Subject: Re: 2496 Audiophile card/software Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 00:03:13 +0100 On 11/10/02 7:50 pm, "Digestifier" wrote: > ------------------------------ > > From: Smagmapig333@aol.com > Subject: RE: 2496 Audiophile card/software > Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 18:50:51 EDT > >> I've got this card, the way I use it is to just record the source in to Cool >> Edit Pro and then normalize it, as far as I'm aware you can't adjust the >> volume of the source. >> >> Duncan > > If your using the RCA analog inputs you can adjust the input volume with the > Monitor Mixer located in the M Audio Delta Control Panel.

Rovner" Subject: ISO: Television / Tom Verlaine / Richard Lloyd Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 21:57:55 -0400 Hi, I'm a huge Television / Tom Verlaine / Richard Lloyd collector, and am always looking to add to my collection. Right now, my collection is comprised of CD-R and cassettes, no DAT. But, I figured I'd post here anyway in hopes of finding kindred spirits. My list is at: http://www.phishhook.com/cgi-bin/gotolist.cgi?login=steverovner Please e-mail me if you have anything to trade. Thanks! Steve ------------------------------ From: Rawknya@aol.com Subject: Turtle Beach - Santa Cruz soundcard. Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 00:33:31 EDT I just picked one of these up. I'm attempting to be on my way to converting my own shows I tape. Does anyone have any advice on this card, complaints any information to offer? I haven't installed it yet. -Christian ------------------------------ From: GaoBest@aol.com Subject: Rolling Stones 9-22-02 Tower Theater B&P CDR offer Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 01:30:56 EDT hey kids, Thanks to Mark on this list, I can now offer a B&P for 2*cdrset (74 or 80 min) of: Rolling Stones, 9-22-02, Tower Theater, Philadelphia source info mk4v > sx-m2 > sbm1 (24 bit) > d100 row 12 fob This sounds really good. The show is about 100 minutes or so. I barely know any of the songs, but they start with Jumping Jacks Flashing and the set includes Start You Up and another song whose title I've already forgotten. Does anybody have artwork or setlist that they can email me so I can include it with the B&P as a killer PDF? The Paul 4-16-02 Philly artwork really rocked the house, and is it the same taper who did both shows? Anyway I'll take up to 20 or so B&P (some people may remember that I did this for Paul several months ago), CDR only, preferably Fuji because Toast seems to have difficulties with non-Japanese CDRs. Actually let me just require Fuji, it makes my life more easier, and I can be evil this way (is it an evil petting zoo?). Hrm, deadline Sunday 03:23 Easter Island time, and I sincerely hope that at least SOMEBODY who participates in this B&P is willing to spread the wealth with their own B&P. Leadtime is 1 to 80 days, probably closer to 7 (in all honesty). Email me for address, I'll do a joint mail-out so that everyone can see who else is participating, and MAYBE shame you all into doing equivalent B&P (hardly anyone was good at doing B&P for Paul 4-16-02 which was really disappointing for me to see, esp since Matt specifically asked for people who would do B&P). Hrm, if certain people email me, I may ask directly for a trade, just as a warning, but there are only 4 targets on this list that I can think of at the moment. I can't do DAT because I'm incompetent and I loaned my portable DAT to a friend. Sorry. Oh and I'll be gone Nov 5 to 15 so don't be too late. Oh! If anybody has any good life sets for STEPS or A1 or H & CLAIRE (those bitches who broke up Steps), then I'm definitely interested please please please let me get what I want. With unconditional conditions (yes I am a bitch), Mike xx bwt: CDR (1) of New Order 2-21-87 Red Parrot, Perth: last 4 songs from side 2, because side 1 of cassette was faulty, go figure... does ANYBODY have the first side of this show? Songlist: kick-ass Blue Monday seguing to In A Lonely Place, encore of Elegia and Sister Ray (really brilliant) ------------------------------ From: Alejandro Montiel Subject: Question about AIWA HD-S200 Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 05:32:24 -0700 (PDT) Hello all, after solving the problem with the battery pack for my aiwa S100, I now have a question regarding an AIWA HD-S200 I got (looks like all my portables have some kind of problem). The problem is: Sometimes the unit does not playback unless I push the cover down, then it plays back fine. The unit records perfectly, the problem occurs only when playing a tape. I have noticed that when I close the cover, it does not close completely, meaning it is not flush against the rest of the body. I have also noticed that the cassette holder has two tiny springs on either side that get stretched out as one closes the cover. My feeling is that the springs have lost some of their tension and therefore the cover does not close properly, but I do not want to touch the unit before asking around in hope that somebody has seen or experienced the same problem and found the cause and hopefully, the solution for it. Thanks a lot P.D: Anybody willing to offer me a B&P??? so far I have only done one trade and gotten 16 tapes as I only started trading a short time ago and stopped due to a loss in the family. I am willing to trade the tapes as well. Contact me off list to send a list of what I have or to work out a B&P. I am mostly looking for Phish, Phil, any good jazz shows and well, most anything.... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com ------------------------------ From: Mark Mayhle Subject: Doing a hard limiter in Cool Edit Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 13:31:54 -0500 (CDT) This has been asked and answered before but I still can't seem to manage it. I have a tape with music peaking at -3dB but averaging much less, and applause peaking around -1dB (because I used the D100 mic limiter to control the applause level). I'd like to squash everything above -3dB down to -3dB. I tried the Dynamics processing in Cool Edit 2000, setting it to flat (1:1) below -3dB and Compress 100:1 (essentially infinity) above -3dB. But this cuts the -1dB peaks only to about -1.5dB. How can I reduce them to -3dB? -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com ------------------------------ From: "Stu Jones" Subject: is anyone taping keller at stella blues??
