I didn't survive the pat down at the door so had to use my backup rig, the left mic decided to cut out most of the night so I have a lovely mono recording of TMBG. Much to trade.

Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2002 09:03:08 -0800 I received some tapes recorded with "pmb mics (very nice german made)" to quote my source. I tried to find out more about these using google but the only hits seemed to be on microphones for recording conversations in conference rooms and the sound is too good for that. Anyone know anything about these? The abbreviation might not be correct as well so if you have any pointers to anything that's a close match that would be helpful. Thanks Matt ------------------------------ From: Stanley Lobitz Subject: RE: DA-P1 power supply END neededd!!!

Gold substrate under a heavy paint layer on the face and a dark purple (aka 'black') on the play surface that's transparent to the read/write laser. They cost a bit more per each ($20 for a 50 ct. spindle) but after some deliberate weather testing and some experiments with sandpaper I'd say they're archive ready. (I made six copies of a disc, then left them all face up in the sun for three months on the porch rail... checked 'em at 2 week intervals & found very few errors and no delamination of the disc layers...)

I have bought at least 1500 of the Fuji Film 80 minute discs between Best Buy and Office Depot sales, and never bought any Memorex media. I have recieved some Memorex that was trash. If you buy Fuji Film, all the media in the blue shrink wrapped packaging has always been manufactured by TY for several years. I believe I have recieved one or 2 discs of Fuji Film media that wasn't TY manufactured. Why mess with the maybe (Memorex) when there is an absolute choice (Fuji)? Fuji is definitely made by TY, is Memorex, or is it made by Ritek? Also, on the Fuji Film media, you can get one rebate per year. I got mine a long time ago. Even so, the last time I bught Fuji Film media on sale, it was about $55 for 200 pieces, 4 50 pack spindles, and I am content with that price, since it was the best price I could get at the time.

I have been making a few lately and was wanting to possibly trade some DVD-Audio discs and get some opinions on what software other people were using.

A few weeks later they had the 100 pack with rebate so I called Fuji and they told me it's a different offer, so I could get another rebate.

I realize that this is a DAT forum, but am sure someone out there can help me. This past Friday night I whent and recorded a friend's band at the Galaxy Club. Equipment used was a Sony MZN1 Minidisc Recorder with a set of Cores Sound Binaural mic's with the battery box and bass roll off. The recording came out great. The next day I transfered the recording to my pc in analogue. I captured the file using Soundforge 6.0 and saved it as a 44.1, 16 bit wav file. My only problem is that I can't figure out how to burn it to CD. I tried Nero 5.9.1, CDRwin, MusicMatch Jukebox, and a few others without any success. I keep getting an error that says "audio not in compatible CD format, 44.1 16 bit stereo." But I know that the file is for a fact a 44.1, 16 bit stereo wav file. So I tried to convert the wav into a .cda file or a pcm wav file by using various programs such as Cooledit, Soundforge, Easy CDDA Converter, etc.., And was unable to convert the wav file at all. So now Im stuck with a wav file that I can only burn as a data cd. Could someone out there give me any suggestions? How do you guys tranfer your dat recordings to pc and then burn them? I guess that I could convert the wav to an MP3 and then burn it, but I really do not want to have to do this, since MD already uses a lossy compression to record the audio to the minidisc, then by turning it into an MP3 file I would be losing even more bits than before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Subject: Re: Memorex CD-R's, and Fuji, as they were brought up Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 18:51:24 -0800 as a general rule: made in japan or u.s. = good. made in taiwan = shit. my favorites are made in the u.s. (i believe), they are apogee golds. although over $2.50 a disc, they are better than ty, mitsui etc etc. ******************* "Age 16 I got my horns. Grew a tail, got a taste for kiddie porn.
