City ------------------------------ From: "Don Landis" Subject: Ryman Auditorium -- taping Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 22:27:19 -0600 Neal -- I was there for the Hank Williams Tribute (early show w. Hank III and Jr.) on 1-04-03. I stealthed with a Sharp MD-SR60 and Sound Pro bi's. The mics were fixed on my glasses, with the cable coming out of the back of my shirt. I sat on stage left, next to the large speakers. The mics and cable were obvious and I made no attempt to hide them. I had a small flashlight and checked sound levels throughout the performance. I never flaunted the equipment, though. It did not appear to me that Security was concerned. They took no precautions at the door, such as wanding or frisking. Note: I would suggest getting tickets for the center balcony, first row. My seat was horrible for taping although great for seeing the show. You might be able to get an excellent recording from there, especially if you could dangle the mics over the balcony. I did not see any security in the balcony or any traffic along the first row balcony. The night we were there it was a piece of cake to tape. Don From: Neal Copperman Subject: Ryman Auditorium Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2003 23:02:20 -0700 Anyone have any info on what it's like to tape in Nashville's Ryman Auditorium? I thought, as the former home of the Grand Ole Opry, that it might be tougher to get gear in then other places but was curious what sort of experiences people have had. ------------------------------ From: Keith Bode Subject: Plextor SCSI, Old School thinking Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 20:44:04 -0800 For my needs, an 80 minute high quality Audio CD-R burned on a 12x10x32 Plextor is fast enought to keep me happy. Even the 8 minutes or s it takes an 8x20 SCSI has kept me happy for years. Wwithin arms reack f where I am sitting are 2 computers with 2 Ultraplex 40 Max drives, an 8x20 SCSI and a 12x10x32 SCSI. I have no doubt in my mind that 8x20 has burned 3,000 cd's easily. The 12x10x32 sitting here was a Plextor Refurbished unit I picked up for about $110. I have another like it, I haven't even opened the box yet. And a 3rd I bought brand new, in a computer I rarely use. Last summer ssomeone was selling some of the Imation badged 8x20 Plextor CD-R's. He claimed they were new, and looked it, but I think they were refurbished. The original Imation badged Plextr 8x20's, you could run the upgraded firmware, and the computer would recognize them as Plextor's. The Plextor Firmware won't run on these. I bought a bunch of them maybe I'll be burning CD-R when it's a completely obsolete format. At least I'll be burning on drives as reliable as anvils. I hope my PCM R-500 lasts. Keith ------------------------------ From: Zzutak@aol.com Subject: Stones MSG Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 01:01:40 EST Howdy friends, Like some of you, I recorded the Stones HBO broadcast this Saturday. I'm curious how others got their digital copies, as there will be many, many of these circulating immediately, and some might be CATV->VHS tape->CDr, for instance, or sampled on low-end computer soundcards. My DAT is a 48 kHz recording from the analog cable box, via analog RCA cables from my amplifier. Thus, the first time it entered the digital domain was when I recorded it to DAT, although there is no analog tape generation like a copy of a VHS tape of the broadcast. I'm curious if anybody was able to do a straight (and not resampled) clone of a digital broadcast. A couple Stones fans wrote me and said that their attempts to do so were met with a "copy prohibit" message, and they had to record through the analog outputs like I did (although some people recorded analog out from a digital cable set-up). One guy said that he believed the HBO analog broadcasts were compressed compared to the digital ones, but said he hasn't done A/B comparisons to check for sure.When I asked my cable company last year about getting a digital cable box with a digital output for straight un-resampled clones to DAT, the cable guy told me that you can't do it with the system they offer. So, long story short, although this DAT copy is clean and complete (with the pre-show nonsense and interminable audience clapping conclusion also), I don't want to do a CDr transfer and spread it to my trading buddies if there are theoretically superior bit-for-bit clones that never left the digital environment from broadcast to CDr. Thanks for any responses to this question!

You can go to radio shack and buy a 4 AA cell cartridge. It is the same. What you need to do to make it work is simply flatten the 9v barrel connector (the large, positive side) with a pair of pliers. Now, it will fit inside the bay of a D7/8. I believe the positive terminal goes in back. You can just flip it around until you find which side is correct. It fits very snugly (and has great contact) so you'll need to carry those pliers w/you to remove it when you need to. I find a pair of small needle nose pliers does the job, and is a good thing to have in the gear bag any way. =A0www.nickspicks.com - Reviews on location recording gear - FAQs and HOW TO's=20 - all things pertaining to Digital Music =A0 ------------------------------ From: JAZZPUNKER@aol.com Subject: ISO: GONG, Daevid Allen, University of Errors...related Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 09:44:36 EST Always looking for Gong and related.

Sweetest of the sweet spots is the front of the balcony (I'm usually a floor guy). Balcony hangs low and comes out far...sound is pristine. Make good tapes.

Thanks, Marc. ------------------------------ From: "Daniel J. Ennis" Subject: Sony D7 problem - Can ya help me out? Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 09:15:31 -0800 (PST) Hi folks, I successfully used my setup a few times, but am having problems now. Sony D7 CoreSound Binaural mics with bass roll-off filter I was using fresh batteries of the E2 type that are supposed to last 3 times as long and the price reflects it. I haven't gotten rechargables yet. Problem is that even at high mic sensitivity and the recording level cranked all the way to 10, the system shows no recording level on the display and if I tap the mic it shows only one tiny little bar. Listening to the recording confirms this. It is unbelievably quiet. I have fiddled with many settings with no luck. What am I missing here? If anyone can help me out I would be elated.

Now, when I try to read a tape, it scrolls the "error detected in data block" message continuously (at like 90mph) and eventually fails reading. It isn't the tape, b/c it does this with any tape I try, and I can successfully read from an older Seagate drive that I have that is also audio capable (so I know the tapes are not the issue...nor is my setup). Makes me wonder if the heads are dirty or something. I have tried writing a wav to the tape in the drive that is giving me problems, and I am able to successfuly WRITE error free .wav using the problem drive, I just can't READ from it. Are there separate read/write heads...I don't know that much about the transports? Anyone know? I was thinking about running my DAT tape cleaner through it, but I thought I would ask around first. Oh, I am using DAT2WAV (tried w/ and w/out the /errorcorrect switch). I did try the demo of vdat, and it does read the tape, but it sounds slowed down and the quality is pretty shitty.
