You may want to make sure that you are not sharing an IRQ with another device. That could cause problems. Also, make sure that you are using the latest drivers, 3.80. If you are sharing an IRQ you should put the card in another slot.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but a lot of venues don't allow backpacks these days. When I taped moe@Wiltern, they didn't allow backpacks, but apparently my Pelican and light stand were fine. For Phish@Forum, they only allowed backpacks for tapers. I'd recommend calling the venue ahead of time and having a contingency plan (or two). -Eugene ------------------------------ From: "MattB" Subject: ISO: AD-20 Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 12:48:57 -0700 Looking for a deal on a used Denecke AD-20 (or Zefiro Inbox). Anyone got one collecting dust? Got anything else that sounds good and can give me an optical S/PDIF signal from an unbalanced input? The AD-20 seems to be the best deal going in this niche. If it only included 48v phantom it would be perfect. I have a PS-2 already, but combining the boxes would be nice. Let me know if you have something or even a good suggestion for an alternative. Thanks! Matt "Gravity. It's not just a good idea, it's the law!" ------------------------------ From: David Toomey Subject: Newbie strugglin' Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 12:15:14 -0800 (PST) Hey DATsters- I need some help concerning transferring to hardrive of DAT's recorded at 48. I am using Sony M1>Delta 2496 Audiophile card>CDWAV>CDR Any help/info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. * The only things I had transferred from DAT to my PC, is stuff I recorded on my own DAT at 44.1, like radio shows and band practice. They all sounded fine after transferring (via 7 pin cable to delta 2496 audiophile card). The pull down menu option on the record section of my CDWAV is/was set at 44.1 * Recently I picked up some tapes from someone on the list (my first ones from someone else), and after transferring them to CD, the talking in between songs sounds incorrect, like the pitch is off (slow and distorted). The master was recorded at 48 . I didn't notice it as much on the music (although Im sure it must be out of pitch as well), but the speech by itself sounds strange. Just enough that you think "that sounds weird" To those using CDWAV, or anyone who familiar with this issue, what am I doing wrong and how can I correct it. Thanx in advance for your help- Dave Toomey __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

You should have no problems at all, but if for some reason you do, ask for Joe Lyons. He works the merch booth, but is also the bands tour manager. You can bring all the gear that you can handle to the shows, even a digi still camera using no flash (which is in contrast to what I originally posted some time ago about camera use). shane >From: "Tim Desai" >Subject: Question: Taping Toad The Wet Sprocket >Reply-To: >Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 13:35:36 -0500 > >Hi, > >According the information listed at the Internet Music Archive, Toad The Wet >Sprocket allows taping.

Roy Redman ------------------------------ From: TheSchoolNerd@aol.com Subject: RE:Apex AD-1500 at Circuit City this week Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2003 22:41:12 EST Gary also forgot to mention that the Apex AD-1500 in many cases can be rid of its macrovision and specific region with an easy ROM flash. The serial number must begin with A, B, C, or D and NOT "SV" and then its a pretty easy thing to do. The serial number can be found on the outside of the box on a small sticker. And we'd also all make Gary happy. D ------------------------------ From: "Will Foy" Subject: Lyric Theatre taping? Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 01:28:51 -0500 I'm hoping another DAT-head has taped at the Lyric before. How was your experience? I'll be making a road trip from NC to PA to see my late wife's grandmother, as well as attend the Flecktones' show in Reading, then going to the Lyric Theatre show the next day in Baltimore. Email me privately, unless you think the whole list could benefit from the knowledge in the archives.

I confess I've been giving some thought to stealth video, and I'm sure I'm not the first person to whom it's occurred that many digital still cameras will put out an NTSC video signal, which could easily be run to a pocket-sized camcorder acting as a VCR. Would be interested in hearing from folks who've tried such a setup. -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com ------------------------------ From: "alf" Subject: Lester Quitzau German tour Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 15:50:20 +0100 I really hope some german guy will tape the following tour of this great Folk/country guitarist from Canada He plays like a master and have beautiful voice: please don't miss him and tape him!!

Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 16:35:28 -0000 Hello all, I have found a place that sells Maxell data cartridges fairly cheaply (for the UK anyway!), but I remember reading on this list that the tapes "shed". I take "shedding" to mean that the oxide flakes off of the tape? Does anybody know if this is still the case? If these would not be a good buy, then can anybody in the UK recommend a place to buy 60M tapes from? Cheers, Gary ------------------------------ From: "Zach Payne" Subject: ISO: Bob Kollmeyer Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 11:40:08 -0600 Hey all, sorry to put out the APB on this person, Bob Kollmeyer, but I haven't = been able to reach him since last August. I was seeing if we couldn't = work out a trade and he sounded like a very nice a guy. Not sure why = I'm no longer getting replies though. If you know how to reach him, = please get back to me. pzane@hotmail.com thanks Zach ------------------------------ From: sybern2@email.com Subject: DAT newbie questions Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 12:47:50 -0500 The folks at Oade tell me that audio-DAT, rather than DDS, should be used in DAT decks (all other things being equal, e.g. tape length), and I'm wondering if this is really true, given the wide DDS use in these forums. Is it mainly a $ thing (understandable, given that audio-DATs are pricey), or are there really DDSs of quality comparable to audio-DAT ($ and quality ARE usually related :-) ? E.g. Oade tells me that you can expect 5000 hours on da-p1 heads with audio-DAT vs. 500 with DDS; this seems a rather dramatic difference! What about tape length? 60m is the max. recommended length, what are peoples' experiences with longer tapes (specifically, in a da-p1)? Also, given that DAT is a dying technology, should one start to hoard blank DATs? What is the shelf life of a DAT? Apologies if any of these Qs are answered in the dat-heads' FAQ. regards, Sy -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
