Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 22:33:07 -0700 Check this out: *#*#*#*#*# Thursday, January 30 - 9:00 pm Open to All Ages! SOUL BRAINS (A.K.A. BAD BRAINS) REUNION TOUR with H.R. DR. KNOW, DARYL JENIFER & EARL HUDSON w/ Sucker & Stuntdoubles By melding punk with reggae, Bad Brains became one of the definitive American hardcore punk groups of the early 80's. The temperamental roar of their thrasher punk songs coupled with their radically contrasting junkets into dub and reggae have forever raised them to an untouchable, almost god-like musical plateau. The masses often put off by "hardcore" are succumbed by the band's Rastafarian, "positive mental attitude" and overtly political views seamlessly melded into culturally and racially affirmed music. One of the most underrated rock bands of the last 15-20 years, dubbed "the greatest punk-jazz-fusion-hardcore-rasta- reggae-gospel outfit ever", graces our stage tonight! This show is open to all ages. ****SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR E-MAIL LIST ONLY! THE FIRST 100 PEOPLE WHO PRINT THIS MESSAGE AND BRING IT IN, OR MENTION THIS TO THE BOX OFFICE WHEN YOU CALL WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE TICKETS TO SEE THIS SOUL BRAINS SHOW FOR ONLY $15.00!!

Unfortunately I can't go. Matt ------------------------------ From: "B Conner" Subject: Sound Card advice Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 12:43:18 -0500 I'm looking to buy a new sound card for my desktop computer. The only requirements are Windows XP compatible, 24-bit 96khz recording & playback. and does not needlessly resample. This sound card will be used primarily to transfer my DAT collection to my HD. Is there a sound card out that meets these requirments and is less than $200. BC ------------------------------ From: Scott Goodwin Subject: Battery Box 2 Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 08:37:55 -0500 I'm not saying the below info is crap, but I will tell you that "matching components" never made a bit of audible or otherwise noticeable difference in any recordings from either battery box I've made. Just use 1% tolerance parts if you can find them. I used 5% both times and they work flawlessly. **************** >If you roll your own, you'll have a tough time matching your components, >especially the capacitors, as closely as Len does. ------------------------------ From: Scott Goodwin Subject: Battery Box Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 07:45:00 -0500 I've made the battery box that the below link details. Actually, I've made two - the second one was much smaller than the first (learning curve...), and I added a switchable "bass roll-off" feature, by simply putting both listed values of capacitors in in, with appropriate switches. I found it very easy (my first genuine soldering electronic-geek project) and very, very cheap. Less than $10 will get you enough parts to make three of these guys... BTW, I've made some great recordings with Core LEBs > D8 mic in, but any high sound pressure will make you never want to try it again.

Well, i'm still having trouble with the afore-mentioned items: First week of January i tape in Nowhere NM and after a great show in which all worked well i go back to our rented cabin to plug in the Eco for the night. I am somewhat 'faced and tired so i don't notice if the green/yellow light comes on the wall-wart. I am sure there was no red light though! Unplug the Eco-Charge next morning with the light glowing green, thinking it's a full charge... Head out to Doc Watson in Tucson AZ that night and get a SWEET stealth-spot and find that all the "warning" lights on the V2 are on :( These include [and please correct me, as i have searched high and low for my manuals, but alas, spring cleaning has yet to arrive at mi casa] both "power" and "low batt" lights aglow...and the red "peak" lights glowing when the mics are powered to their lowest. Get back home and plug in the wall-wort and it glows green. Plug in the Eco-Charge to the 'wart and it still glows green. Yet the batt takes no charge. Any help for this confusingly simple problem?

Here's why: Sony PCM-M1 Portable DAT Recorder, Still Under Warranty! M1 and IDS warranty purchased 11/98 from the Oade's (Hi-Fi Sales & Service), valid through 11/11/2003, Oades can do warranty service. This unit has seen extremely low use, probably under 75 record hours for mastering and less for playback. I use R500's for cloning/playback almost exclusively. Having sold my mics over a year ago, I've used it twice for patching and am just not into the live taping thing these days, so it's time to part with this. I still have all original manuals and accessories (except AA batteries): ---Sony "leatherette" case for M1 ---Earbud Headphones ---AC wall charger/power adaptor ---NiMH Battery charger sled ---missing AA NiMH batteries (can get from Radio Shack for little $, but see below for better rechargeable option) Extras: ---Pro Digital 7-pin Digital I/O Cable (orig. $120, can you even get these anymore? Grey 7-pin with voltage for M1.) ---Sony D100 Wired Remote Control (orig. $120, provided only with the D100 model, I purchased this separately, great for stealth) ---Heavy padded case fits M1, patch cable, and rechargeable battery pack (see below). ---Extra AC power adaptor with EUROPEAN plug/voltage (ready for Euro tour!) ---Automobile power adaptor for road trips! ---TWO super-rechargeable external power packs that last hours and hours and hours (I've done several shows in a row and have yet to have one run out of juice. This is why I stopped using AA's.). ---Monster Cable XLR->1/8" stereo mini (for recording from most soundboards) ---Monster Cable RCA<-->1/8" stereo mini (for connection to home stereo components) ---Monster Cable RCA splitter (for splitting digi-patch signals) ---female/female RCA "barrel" adaptor (for connecting digi-patch cables) ---Translucent Red static film for covering the bright blue LCD in stealth situations. (Security guards are attracted to that blue glow like moths to a flame.) Get all this plus a fresh Sony DG-90m tape to get you started recording your first show. You're ready for just about any kind of patching or recording situation. "What," you say, "no mics?" Heck I guess I'll throw in some mics, too. I've got a pair of Sound Professionals Deluxe Mini Hard Wired Binaural Stealth Microphones with extra batteries. Get the Ultimate M1 Package for $849.
