From: patrickprice@attbi.com Subject: Coax > Optical Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 21:01:36 +0000 Does anyone know of a good Coax > Optical converter for use with the Nomad Jukebox III. I have a Midiman CO2 but I am getting strange little pops of static here and there on my dat conversions and was hoping to try out a different converter instead. I was also wondering if anyone had used the Midiman CO3 and whether it was a step up in product or the same with just more options and inputs, etc. Any help you can give me in perfecting my conversions with the Nomad would be appreciated since it's a great little toy - I just wish it was a little better. If they had put a coax input on it it would be perfect to use. Pat

From: Joe Rioux <jrioux@attbi.com> Subject: Live recording to laptop hard drives Reply-To: jrioux@attbi.com Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 16:29:15 -0500 I did some reading recently about latency with regard to using a Windows-based operating system for audio engineering. Although it was directed at those doing audio editing on the PC, it would seem to me that latency problems would also effect those doing live recording to a laptop's hard drive, at least as far as latency problems with regard to hard drive operations & audio are concerned. So I guess my question is - for those of you doing this stuff, is latency a problem for you? Or a problem that you're aware of? And the second part is, I don't understand the desire to record direct to a laptop hard drive. Why do it? What do you gain, or think you're gaining as the case may be? http://www.rme-audio.de/english/techinfo/lola.htm http://www.rme-audio.de/english/techinfo/lola_lomo.htm
From: Greg Teltschik <gteltschik@mindspring.com> Subject: Wanted: UK Lilith Fair '98 Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 21:29:09 +0000 I've been looking for a copy of this show since '98. There was a taper who recorded this show, but he was in the process of getting out of the hobby. I've seen at least one purported mp3 on Kazaa, so I know it must be out there. If anyone has a copy of this show, please get in touch with me. I'm interested in all of the sets. Greg Teltschik gteltschik@mindspring.com

From: Rockcat <rockcat@bigplanet.com> Subject: Slightly OT: MP3 editing? Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 16:57:42 -0500 Can anyone suggest a good software app. for editing MP3 files? I have a few MP3 files that have some extraneous noise that I would like to trim from either the beginning or the end of the sound file. Is there an app. that can do this easily in the MP3 format without having to first convert it to .wav? Thanks, Paul

ISO DARK STAR ENTERPRISES: this guy sent me an attached photo of his taperoom which was completely full of padded bubble mailers, to which he hadn't responded, because he was "busy" seeing springsteen and the stones. he did this because i'd spent the better part of three months waiting for some david gilmour from him. i eventually gave up ... john, maybe scott weber is just "busy." _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

From: distance <distancexx@attbi.com> Subject: "recent" masters FT + ISO some stuff Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 22:44:03 -0500 "recent" is a relative term, in by "recent" i mean last year (2002). haven't actually traded out most of this stuff. stuff i taped last year: explosions in the sky [x3] , frog brigade, the mercury program, mono, coldplay [x2], queens of the stone age, zwan, death cab for cutie, hank III, american analog set, the strokes, plus some others. what i'm especially looking for is: any explosions in the sky shows that i don't have. radiohead shows 1995-1997 (especially 11/xx/95). if interested, in any of that or just in seeing my list, drop me an email. like someone else who posted on here a few days ago, i too am looking for a pair of tickets for coldplay in charlotte (01/25/03).
From: "Chris Mcgrath" <imissmybus@earthlink.net> Subject: Help cleaning up Police US Festival recording Reply-To: "Chris Mcgrath" <imissmybus@earthlink.net> Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 20:16:08 -0800 I have an interesting sounding Police recording from the US Festival in either 83' or 84' ( I have the date somewhere) taped with Nak 300's. The problem is it has pops throughout & I don't have the ability to remove them. I've only seen low quality analog copies floating around on peoples lists & since the pops are the only problem it seems worth fixing up. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to send you the discs along with 4 blanks-two for you & two for me along with return postage if you could run it through a de-popper and send me a copy. If interested please contact me. Thanks, Chris

From: "Tidmarsh Major" <tidmarsh@bellsouth.net> Subject: Re: Help Please: Recording to CD Ideas... Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 07:10:36 -0600 On 6 Jan 2003 at 15:50, The SchoolNerd asks about a simple setup for producing informal voice CDs. How about a home minidisc deck and a standalone CD burner? The minidisc would work much like the cassette deck he's used to, and probably has enough editing capability for his purposes. A home deck would also have a digital output, which he could burn directly to the CD burner once he finishes editing and then duplicate the resulting CD. For that matter, he could keep using his cassette deck, and just copy the finished cassette to CD using a standalone CD burner. Tidmarsh

In particular, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, Clint Black, George Strait and Kenny Chesney. But ANY country would be great! Am also looking for Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Healing Sixes and ZZ Top. I have a large list. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! Eddie
From: wilkinsmd@attbi.com Subject: Re: DDS2 DAT tapes Date: Wed, 08 Jan 2003 15:38:51 +0000 Let's clarify a few things... DDS -- or Digital Data Storage -- is a specification for tapes and drives attached to computers to store data. Each new generation (they're on the fourth currently) introduced longer, thinner tapes and denser recording techniques. DDS-2 is by definition a 120 meter tape. They are not recommended for use in audio DAT recorders. Of course 90 meter tapes are not recommeded either but many people use them with varying degrees of side effects. But realize that 120 meter tapes are thinner than even 90 meter tapes, which in turn are thinner than 60 meter tapes. That said, "Sony DG90P DDS2" is a contradiction in terms...it's either DG120P DDS-2, or DG90P DDS. Oh and by the way, I have a DDS-2 tape drive attached to my computer and am looking for some DDS-2 tapes to use for backups, if anyone bought some by mistake drop me a line and maybe we can work something out.
