They're still TY's. TY apparently made a descion that the screw-on top was
more expensive than it was worth.
I'm on my 6th spindle with the new covers, and haven't had a bad one yet.

One material used in cars to reduce low-frequency noise is called
Dynomat. There's also the egg-carton shaped acoustic foam used
in recording studios.

We are expecting a shipment of a new 2000 mAh AA cells later this month from
a major manufacturer. The 4-packs will be priced competitively with current
1800's. I would like your opinion on how popular an item this will be as I

Subject: Building a new platform
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 09:43:48 -0800
Beloved Dat Heads:
The time has come to consider dedicating a machine to tasks solely related
to DAT and sundry musical activities.
The activities would comprise:
1 Creation and editing of .wav files from various sources including
A. Digital Outputs of Fostex D5 or Sony TCD D8 via TOS-Link
B. Analog outputs of audio pre-amps and various MIDI synths . Inputs
to the
audio pre-amps could be microphones, record player, cassette
player, musical
instruments.
C. Digital transfer of audio from CDs
2. Burning aforesaid .wav files to regular CDs.
3. Editing of MIDI files and auditioning them via software sequencer and
external
MIDI sound modules and audio gear.
4. Production of musical scores via Finale and relevant printer.
A dedicated platform unencumbered with multi-tasking and running Windows ME for
compatibility with Finale and various MIDI oriented applications would avoid
undesirable contention for CPU memory service during real-time intensive
file transfers to CD.
I would be interested in the thoughts of our resident techno gurismi re
appropriate hardware to realize the above machine. Issues I would like to
hear about are
Motherboard selection i.e performance and - integrated versus plugged in
items such as video cards, modems, and sound cards, and with respect to the
latter, experience with sound cards having front panel access as opposed to
rear access enjoyed by nobody except cave men. Selection of a suitable
cabinet is another important topic .
Cooling, shielding , quick access to innards, neat cabling and realistic
allowance for expansion, especially of drives CD, DVD,DAT,ZIP etc. but not
forgetting front panel hardware for I/O.
There must be some of you out there in the "been that, done there"
category. I'm keen
to hear your views. May be others are just as curious as I and on the verge
of off-loading an overworked platform that serves, text editing,
accounting, spread-sheeting, communications, FAX, Email, CAD, Irrigation
control, Security system operation, as well as Free Cell and Solitaire.
A Happy and prosperous New Year to all
Mike

I recently sold off my old gear and was planning on recording with a laptop
but I decided to save some $ and went with the NomadJB3 instead. My current
rig
is Oktava MC-012> UA-5> NJB3. I've used the rig twice in the field and had
mixed results. A couple sets turned out fine while others were littered with
clicks and
pops. I just upgraded the firmware and have done some testing at home, so
far so
good. I'll definitely report here with any findings, good or bad. I made a
leap of
faith when I bought this thing but I was confident that the people at
Creative
would get it right sooner or later. It's really nice to not have to deal
with DAT
tapes anymore!

>> What does reading the time code have to do with not resampling?
Everything, Seth.
If you can't read the time code you have to
're-sample' the signal. This is nothing else but 'listening' to the
samples according to your own time code. But no two crystals are
ticking with the same speed..! (All the children sing: "no two crystals
are alike under the heavens..")
>>just sampled at the appropriate rate, end of story.
>>..
>>just recording the bits is easier than playing with them.
That's what one would think but it isn't.
One would think that simply 'taking all the bits' would be easier than
'playing with them'. But that is not an option, when you don't know
when you have 'all' of the bits. And without agreeing on the correct
clock you just don't know..
Just look at all the soho sound cards! Do you think it had really been
easier/cheaper to build them *with* rather than *without* the ability
for complete and bit perfect digital input?
I see the jukebox devices as consumer and also as a recording devices
but not as pro gear built for producing bit perfect digital copies.
So my interest in this detail is rather academic but I'd still like to know..
>>The Nomad 3 most certainly DOES NOT resample the optical input signal.
Mike, so you can input a track from a CD and compare the track loaded
to a PC to an (eg) EACed version? Same number and values of samples?
Sounds great, unlikely imo, but great; anybody actually been there?

I was informed recently that there is an Atlanta tapers/traders group in
existence, and somebody here on DAT-Heads would have the low-down. If so,
I'd like to get more info. I've been in Atlanta about 1.5 years and would
like to be able to keep tabs on what the locals are up to. Thanks for any

I've seen some articles about this, but am still
puzzeled how you can put in 6v into the D100 and not
fry the thing. I tried with my existing 4 D-cell pack
from my D7, but the display blinked on the D100 so I
ripped it out immediatly. What do ya'll do to power
the D100 or M1 externally?
Thanks!

Why? You can certainly copy the audio bits without reading the time
code.

The samples are digital, not analog; you can't listen to them at your
own speed.

Locking in to follow a clock to get all the bits is one thing; once
you have them, changing them by resampling is another.
If you're not getting all the bits, resampling is the least of your
problems.

Are those the ones that only allow one input speed, so they _have to_
resample everything not at that speed, and it's easier to resample to
their clock than to do the difficult arithmetic to resample according
to what the input clock _says_ it is?

Subject: soundproofing a music room
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 20:50:02 -0500
hi,
first , i want to say thanks to all who posted, the volume of great info was
astounding. at first , i hesistated to even ask on the list about
soundproofing a music listening room, and was quite surprised that many
share my dilemma .its a much more complicated task than i thought. based on
all ive heard, fiberglass thermal batting is a waste of time. i think at
this point my only economical solution is a drop acoustical ceiling. it
will be a bit tough to do, its not a flat surface, there are drops for the
house main beam, and a run of plumbing. the sheetrock ceiling now is
screwed directly to the joists of the floor above, making the ceiling/ floor
combo one big speaker of sorts. can anyone estimate what the percentage of
quieting a drop ceiling with a 3 in air gap to the orig ceiling will be? if
its not signifigant, i'll blow the money for materials on some nice
headphones instead.
i never really liked wearing phones, so can anyone recommend super
comfortable phones with realistic sound ? i guess a headphone amp is also in
order, or is that not really needed. i use a pioneer a-60 amp in my system.
a great big thanks to all.
please see my music trading page: New URL
