I suppose the case culd be made these are Data Cartriges, but an awful lot of people use them for audio. Masterpiece AV told me they are their best selling DAT cartriges. "$3 bucks a piece is more than fair. I challenge anyone to show me a vendor/dealer that sells Sony blanks at "about $2 a piece".as you state......" Keith ------------------------------ From: david cohen Subject: re:DAT prices & selling used tape Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 14:38:26 -0500 I think each person is the judge for what they wish to charge for selling used tape. One guy might not mind spending $2 for a new Sony blank, yet another might think Sony is purely crappy quality and feel that his 6 yr. old Panasonic Pro 124 is still worth $3-4, especially if he paid $6 for it...my personal experience is that DDS devalues (and degrades physically) faster than Panasonic Pro or Ampex or Apogee...so let's not chastise sellers based on their prices unless they are wholly outrageous...dave Sunshine Dave Dream, Producer & Host Dead Serious Wednesdays 11pm - 2am WORT 89.9 FM People's Republic of Madison, Wisconsin Avoid all needle drugs. the only dope worth shooting is Nixon.

Good stuff. I asked the lead guy and the keyboardist if they were soundboard friendly - in unison, one said "no" and one said "if it sounds good". I did have the chance to bullshit with three of the guys while they were in town, and they were all very cool, mellow and down to earth...I'm looking forward to them coming back to Denver for sure... -Josh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

My "new" computer (PIII, 1.2 GHz, 512 MB ram) runs with Windows 2000, I'm thinking of putting in my "old" ZA2-card. Will it work? Drivers available?? Or should I perhaps install an extra OS (Win 95 or NT4) just for using the ZA2.....

Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 13:06:47 -0700 (PDT) hey folks many of you have taken me up on my offer to talk you through purchasing, flashing, and using a DDS drive to upload audio DATs to .wav. (the upshot of my previous post being that it's highway robbery to be charging $75, $80 for these drives when they can be bought for MUCH cheaper on ebay. haven't seen either clown post in a while, so maybe the cat's out of the bag? anyway...) i'd like to go one step further... many of the folks i'm corresponding with seem a little sheepish about the concept of flashing the drives with the audio firmware, so... if you're willing to cover all the expenses, namely price of ebay auction + shipping to me + shipping to you + $0.99 gas money to get me to the post office, i'll be willing to flash the firmware for you and deliver to you a perfectly audio-ready drive for the lowest cost possible. please note this offer only stands for certain types of drives; i, like you, am a little leery of flashing EPROMs and soldering chips onto a board, so... not every potentially audio-ready drive is eligible for this little offer. just write me if you're interested and we'll chat privately. cheers peter (a big Thank You! goes out to someone on this list who helped get me started in the DDS world... you know who you are!) ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ web: http://home.nyc.rr.com/pedroworld AIM: sleepypedro ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

The guy who made the offer wasn't talking about Sonys, but since you posted the challenge... American Digital (http://www.american-digital.com) sells Sony 60 or 90 meter tapes individually for $2.29, by the 10 pack for $2.19 each, the 30 pack for $2.16, and the 50 pack for $2.09. I'm not sure where you're shopping, but if you're paying $3 each for Sony dats, you're getting ripped off. HS-4 90 meters go for $3.19 down to $2.89 (for a 50 pack), so $3 a tape, with music on it isn't a bad deal.

I can't see my OS8.6 machine on the W2K network. Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 16:42:25 -0500 Hello, I was recently let in on a treasure trove of club soundman tapes from a defunct all-ages venue in my fair city. These 60-some tapes are excellent recordings made with a stereo pair in front of the club's ceiling mounted PA over a period of a couple years. I am a Windows2K user and these are in Audiodesk format. I have a little Mac Powerbook 1400C with a Powerport Platinum Pro network card, an SMC Barricade 7004ABR 4 port router that leads to FA311 Netgear PCI NICs in the 2 W2K machines. I can't 'see' the mac on to pull the files (converted to .wav or .au on the Mac) to my PC for burning, etc. Can somebody allow me to phone them for a walk-through of how to transfer these files? I'm not a Mac user, and although plugging-unplugging the Mac's NIC brings up a response in W2K's LAN icon on the taskbar, can't figure out how to share anything from the Mac--and can't grab my files! I'm sure to a mac user this is an elementary issue. Drop me a line if you can offer 10 minutes assistance on my dime, of course.

It works in my machine with W2K using the information from www.zefiro.com under "What's new". However, YMMV for sure when it comes to the ZA2; it's highly dependent on your chipset, motherboard, graphics subsystem, phase of the moon, etc. The best thing to install if it doesn't work is a DOS boot. That's the only way I could get it to work without channel swapping in my ancient P90 machine, before I moved it to the the current one. -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com ------------------------------ From: "Mike B" Subject: Blank DATs Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 03:42:12 +0000 I've got a box of 100 Apogee 90min Pro-DATs.

If you want either of these, I'm willing to take a gamble. I know this is a good group of people. All I'm going to ask is that you pay the cost of shipping them to you. If you want to let me pick a show off your list or to offer up any other creative gifts, great. If not, the remotes are still yours for the cost of postage... no strings. - Mike _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ------------------------------ From: "gordon wilson" Subject: RE: selling DAT tapes Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 02:30:49 -0400 >>>>$3 bucks a piece is more than fair.

I gave someone a card after one of the workshop sets at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and he emailed me shortly thereafter, and again a month later when I finally had time to burn a show for him. I agreed to burn the set he had asked about (Emmylou Harris workshop). In the mailbox on Saturday I received a package with 10 disks, taking up my whole mailbox, and a note, listing in order of priority, the shows he wants. Now, I had agreed to do one show, and he sends me 10 disks, saying he knows I don't have time to do all these shows, so whatever I can burn would be appreciated, and hopefully I can do a few more. Personally, I'm pretty torqued about the presumption there, and am tempted to send all 10 disks back and not bother burning the one show I agreed to. Opinions? Cheers Candace ------------------------------ From: Joshua Subject: Re: [COtapers] Trading etiquette Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 07:22:01 -0700 (PDT) I'd burn the disks he asked for and tell him you didn't have time for the rest. You might mention to him that he has very bad manners, too. At the Rusted Root show a few months back a mini-disker approached me and asked for a patch; I said sure, do you have a mini-to-mini? He didn't know what a mini-to-mini was, so I explained it to him. He found one and came back. I then had to help him start the recording, explain to him the concept of setting levels and help him set the levels so they didn't quite peak at the top. Before the show even started, he got frustrated, pulled his recorder and left. I then get an email asking for a B&P copy of the show (not even an offer of a trade); I say okay. His package arrived about a week before I left for two weeks to Telluride; he sends an email right before I leave asking about the status of his B&P, which I didn't have time to respond to. A few days later, I then received a very rude email accusing me of ripping him off of his $.50 worth of disks; I responded that I was in Telluride and he quieted down a bit after making an ass of himself. I think I finally sent him his disks about a month ago...too many fools in the world. -Josh --- Candace Horgan wrote: > What do you all think of this scenario?
