Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2003 16:03:16 -0800 I have been using fine tip and extra fine tip Sharpies to mark CD's for years. I try to write in the center, but if I want more information than that n the CD-R, I write all ver the non-recording side. I have seen other posts on this list wh d the same thing, and have not experienced an problems, nor have I. I thing the sharpies are about 1/3rd the price f the pens you are describing, or less in a package of 10, at ffice Dept, Staples, etc. Keith ------------------------------ From: Keith Bode Subject: Re: Sennheiser E604 Drum mic for sale on ebay Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2003 16:07:48 -0800 I've looked on eBay fr microphnes quite a bit.

Accoring to one of the partner's there, that is the best selling tape they carry. Other people n this list, and BUDD suggested the same tape. I don't know how the TDK tapes compare to te Sony tapes. Now tat you got them, try them, sell them or dump them. I'd try them, but others may have different opinions.

Keith ------------------------------ From: Keith Bode Subject: FS: New Adaptec 2940U 50 pin, 3 conector Cable, New Plextor Ultraplex 40 Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2003 17:00:50 -0800 As Plextor has jumped in the arena of high speed burning using a SCSI bus, with a 40x CD-RW, hopefully they will maintain the Plextr quality we are used to. As they have done so, I had stocked up on some brand new Ultraplex40 max drives, some Adaptec 2940 U SCSI cards, and some 3 connector SCSI cables. Now maybe a good time to sell a drive or 2, and some cards as I have 6 total. So, if anyone's interested in being set up for high speed SCSI burning, I'll sell 2 of the sets of 3 items. I will also set the SCSI ID on the Ultraplex to 6, and put the term jumper on the Ultraplex. You can put the burner on the middle connector of the cable, and it should be fine. I will include printed instructions. Normal prices for tese items are: Ultraplex 40 max, 50 pin OEM, retail about $90. The SCSI cable is $7 to $10, and the Adaptec card used to sell for over $150. It's been discontinued. The card that is one model lower in the line, retails fr abut $75-$90, boxed. Keith I will sell all 3 pieces for $125 plus shipping. I will set it up as descriped. Priority mail fr this set should be about $8, and get the set to you in aboout 3 or 4 days. ------------------------------ From: Subject: FS: Oade modsbm1 w/ecocharge cable Reply-To: kmstraker@mindspring.com Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2003 20:21:37 -0500 I am upgrading my AD converter so I'm selling my trusty sbm1. Great sound in a small package. It has the line stage upgrade and the coax mod(replaces 7 pin). Total was 750.00 new. I'd like 700.00 and i'll pay shipping. Purchased in the spring of last year and upgraded by doug oade. I"ll include the case which holds the sbm1 and a sony portable dat, the original box, and the ecocharge cable. Thanks-Kevin ------------------------------ From: "Wolf Vogel" Subject: Is exact copy of DAT tapes with timecode possible? Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 19:29:29 -0600 I have recorded audio-range scientific data on DAT tapes using Sony TCD-D8 recorders. The tapes have an auxiliary absolute date/time track and that information can be displayed on playback. What equipment is needed to make an exact tape duplicate - including the timing information - if that is possible at all? Thanks! Wolf ------------------------------ From: "Candace Horgan" Subject: Apogee pre Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 20:00:46 -0700 If you get the Platinum edition of the ADK, with the preamp upgrades, you can use it without a pre in front of it with no problem. I have a pair of MBHOs, cardioid and sub-card capsules, and Audio Magic Excalibur cables, and haven't used a pre in front of my ADK, but have made some really sweet tapes over the last few years. Just make sure you get the right ADK. Cheers Candace ------------------------------ From: TheSchoolNerd@aol.com Subject: Help Please: Recording to CD Ideas... Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 23:02:03 EST Hello!! I've been asked to set up a "simple" recording rig for my religious organization and I need some help. Basically, the gentleman I'm helping wants to record his voice onto CD-R and hand these discs out regularly to the congregation. He currently records using a cassette deck- and when he makes an error, he backs the tape up a bit, hits "REC" and continues on singing till he's done. What would you guys suggest for a new setup? I was thinking of buying him a stand-alone CD recorder- such as the Marantz CDR-500, a lavolier microphone such as a Sony ECM-77B and then some adapting device so the mic will plug into the Marantz to BOTH channels (any suggestions there?). Then his workflow would be: use CD-RW's to record his voice, finalize that disc and pop it into the player side and pick the tracks he wants to copy over to a CD-R. Make sense? How about setting him up with a computer? Knowing he is not spectacularly savvy, would it be silly to set him up with a CPU/sound card/ software? I know he would have more control over his content this way for fixing his mistakes but the concern here is two-fold; a) too complicated b) too time-consuming. But then again; I could get him an Apple iBook, and a USB-type adaptor for his mic and software. Keep in mind; it's one voice we're talking about here and we're not after superb fidelity. Cost is an issue as is complexity. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Now back to the EBay ethics discussion...

I am planning to expand my recording rig with a matched pair of small diafragm omni's and from what I've found (read and heard) the Earthworks SRO's fit the bill perfectly.

SO... they're yours, if you want them. the catch? i'm not listing the contents. it'd take me a good 90 minutes or more to properly note what's in the batch, and i don't have that kind of free time. So let's just call it a Mystery Grab Bag! it's a pretty interesting mix of jazz, rock, alt-rock, and the like. no jambands! it's all good stuff! all i want is someone to send me a new spindle of TDK Taiyo Yuden 80 minute disks + return postage and the Mystery Grab Bag is yours! i'm also interested in sealing this deal ASAP, so we've got to get this underway within 24 hours. all you've really got to do is order a spindle from bestbuy, staples, wherever, ship it to me, then paypal me money to ship the Grab Bag back to you, so there's no reason why someone interested in this can't make it happen quickly. ready, set, go, the first recipient who promises to get his end of the deal underway quickly wins! cheers, happy new year y'all peter ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ web: http://home.nyc.rr.com/pedroworld AIM: sleepypedro ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

No DAT decks other than very high-end decks such as the stella dat or some somy models intended for film production actually use 'time code'. However, when you are cloning a digital stream (dat>dat, dat>nomad, dat>soundcard, whatever), any decent non-resampling unit will lock as a slave onto the host clock of the unit feeding it the signal. Thus the *sample rate* of a clone is exact. if you went analog into the recording unit, it would reclock the data internally, and there would be a slight variation in the sample rate (say 44.101 vs 44.105 kHz for example). That is why it is difficult to mix two independent digital sources, as no two clocks were alike, and drift occurs, causing echo, etc. But as long as you are cloning a recording with non-resampling equipment, the sample rate will be *exactly* matched to whatever the original a>d that clocked it was. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
