hey now,
i am getting rid of my P1 in order to have funds to replace an ailing
ad1000. serviced within the last 6 months and returned with a clean bill of
health by paul plotnick. the deck has been used fairly often (although not
exclusively....i had 3 other portables that were used in stealth
situations).
had no problems with it at all.
included is:
1 6v SLA battery (that will provide 5-7 hours of use).
1 tascam power supply
1 head cleaning tape
original box and manual
asking 900.00 OBO.
thanks,
-bry

Well, since you asked for it.....
http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/vinyl.html
Its a Direct X plugin that will work with Soundforge as well as other software. You can add all the pops, clicks, 60hz hum, dust, mechanical noise, ect. you want. No kidding! Its free too.
Enjoy,
Matt

Better yet, just don't post this crap. In having the right to express an
opinion
you should respect that others may have such too. You have been
given the right to express your opinion, but if someone has another
opinion (god forbid, the post you are complaining about had actual technical
content... we can't let that happen on DAT-flames) you won't hear for it.

Hi guys, I finally got my hands on a copy of this show. It's an unknown
audience that is pretty boomy & really needs some fine tuning that I don't
know how to do. So, again I'm asking for help from someone who would be
interested. I'll send the show & two blank discs along with return postage
to anyone who might like to help. Thanks, Chris

In regards to the message about the CoreSound battery box I have two of the
CoreSound mics, one with an 1/8" mini plug, and the other with XLRs and a
battery box that I use for my Tascam DA-P1 . The bias voltage in the mic
inputs on certain devices such as the Sony Pro Walkman cassette can power a
CoreSound mic without a battery box, but the battery box improves the S/N
and gives you more gain than you get from the same mics powered via bias
voltage. Sorry I don't have a schematic for the battery box, but it does
allow you to get more from the mics.

It has been several years since I made some of the popular Panasonic WM60AT
binaural mics, but if I recall correctly, I used one of the schematics listed
on this website for my "battery box". There's nothing special about these
schematics though, you're just wiring up first-order high-pass filters.

If you use a battery box you'll most likely run the output of the box into
your line-in. If your deck has a mic-in (which supplies power) then you can
just plug the mics directly into it and bypass the batt-box. Note that the
mic-in on Sony D7/D8's is absolute crap, and you should definitely opt for
the batt-box + line-in. I think the mic-in on Sony D100/M1's is a lot better,
but I have never used those decks.
Hope this helps,
Eric

If you roll your own, you'll have a tough time matching your components,
especially the capacitors, as closely as Len does.

One more thing: if your unit ever needs repair, the TCD-D100 is eligible
for Sony's flat rate for repair; the PCM-M1 is considered a professional
unit and is not.

Subject: Looking For Low Gen DAT Trades
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 15:31:16 -0800 (PST)
Hello List,
I am new to this list, but not new to seeking low gen
trades.
I am currently looking for new Stones shows from the
latest portion of their tour. From Pittsburgh
on...that is.
Likewise, I am looking for low gen trades of bands I
collect, such as Zeppelin, The Stones, Neil Young, The
Who....and, many more. My list is very
diverse...(hell, I listed Zeppelin & The Stones in the
same post....)..and, there are many possible bands
that would intrest me.
Also, I would be open for low gen CDR trades as well.
Personally, I tape/trade many bands and in the last
year have taped CSN&Y, Dylan, Aerosmith, The Stones,
Plant, The Who, Stone Sour, Nickelback, Cantrell, and
many more.
Please feel free to shoot me an e-mail for an exhange
of lists.....
I am a very serious collector that attempts to obtain
as much information about these "personal recordings"
as I can...and, my music is not for sale, but is for
trade with individuals that have similiar tastes in
music.
Hopefully, I'll get some responses....have a great one
& Rock On!!

Subject: RE: VHS Vs. DAT / Analog Vs. Digital - Wax cylinders
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 20:12:26 -0500
Hey People,
In response to Zach's pondering of wax cylinders, there was a guy at
moe.down this past summer who recorded some, if not all of, moe.down on
wax cylinder. Beautiful piece of machinery, looked like an old Victrola
(sp?) but I guessed it works in reverse. Maybe they're up for trade %^P
Isn't there a definite limitation to what 16 bits could record anyway
(excuse me those of you who've made the 24 bit jump but the same thought
applies, right or wrong)? Thus it could, in theory, never record to the
nth degree what analog would actually record, due to the A>D conversion.
I'm would bet that it comes damn close though. Does that make any
sense? I don't know this so someone that knows for sure, it would be
interesting to know.
Where are the wax cylinders... ?
Peace,
Sean
BWT: Joe Bonamassa / Milestones / Rochester, NY / 1 CD(must be Fuji/TY
due to finicky burner)
Note: first song missing but otherwise sounds great. I don't believe
there where any other tapers there.

Subject: analog vs digital
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 01:13:09 +0000
Many good points brought up on the topic so far. The main thing is to keep
an open mind. Sure, digital is easy, cheap, and convenient (especially in
the field), but if you've never heard pristine vinyl played on a Walker
Proscenium or other high end turntable, than you really are just stating an
uneducated comment. Sure I use DAT, but I'm quite sure a Nagra IV S would
produce a more satisfying result (based on hearing previous results).
Digital is getting better, and when truly high bit rate audio such as 24/192
or higher becomes the norm, then the difference will be so close it could go
either way. WHen I started attending CES a few years ago, the salespeople
played either vinyl, DVD, or SACD with only a few slackers playing CD.
Usually those were in rooms promoting DAC's that had upsampling to 24/96.
Those playing vinyl usully cleaned each record before playing. Extra work?
Yes, you bet! Extra nice sound quality? F*%K yeah!!!!!! The record
player, as some may remember bears almost no resemblence to the high end
turntables with external power supplies, and specially mounted plinth's
(part of the 'table). The wide stereo sound and dynamic range can then
really show through, even on those '40's and '50's recordings. I remember
sitting in one room listening to Nat King Cole, where if I closed my eyes,
he literally was there in the room, with full image height and depth.
Now if you like cd's, and find the sound pleasing, then great! But if
somebody else likes vinyl and finds that sound pleasing, then that's great
too! I also have heard 2" tape at 30 ips, (as I am a recording engineer)
and if you think cd's sound better, then you need to get into a studio for
some listening. When I compare my remixed tape vs the DAT mixdown tape, I
am sorely disappointed in the difference. But maybe when the higher end,
high bit stuff becomes available..............

Hello Heads
:
Some of you older heads may remeber the Dave Clark 5. Well Mike Smith,
their vocalist is touring with a band in March 2003.
Dates so far are scheduled for venues in NY, CT. & MA. Those interested
can check out the itenary here:
http://www2.rpa.net/~theboltons/DC5main.htm
One of the gigs is at BB Kings in NY. I'd like to record it but I'm from
Phila. and not familiar with the venue. If anyone has any insight
regarding the security set up, layout of the venue, and their attitude
toward tapers, please share your experiences with me.
Thanks,

my roommate's a huge fan... did anyone tape that 2nd
night in NY where he played w/ jon spencer, doing a
