NOPE! The Dreaded D7 load error Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 00:08:11 -0600 Dang it indeed. I think it's just not there. Sometimes the D7 will do that, and occasionally the D8. It's agonizing, but there is a solution (for next time) when you want to record something important (what else?) run a few seconds of signal to tape, then rewind and play it back. once it's playing it back, go to pause, then record and play together to go into record mode. After it's played the test signal back, it will be in the right "groove" to record until it goes into standby. So it's good news and bad news, as usual, the yin with the yang- Your tape is blank, but now you know how to prevent that. "Oh joy!" I hear you say, "A lesson, when all I wanted was a nice tape."

I taped Jump, Little Children in Chattanooga last week. Two shows. Late show came out great, but I checked my tape from the early show today and it appears to be blank. Tape was running through the show, I had levels, everything seemed fine and dandy. Rewound it, put it away, that was that. Tried to listen today and no dice. Tape runs, doesn't read as blank, but I don't hear any audio. Any ideas? I'd love to be able to recover this if it is on there at all, as it was really a wonderful set. Dang it. FYI, I was taping with mic's into a D7 through the line in jack. I've taped twice since then with the same setup and those tapes were fine. Help? If this is covered elsewhere feel free to point me in that direction.

(For the Mac) I've been using Felt Tip Sound Studio (http://www.felttip.com) for the last several years. It's pretty inexpensive shareware and takes about 20 minutes to get the hang of. It also has a pretty generous trial approach. I've been using paid copies for years, but if memory serves, it gives you something like 30 editing sessions of arbitrary length. It has a variety of filters and other features. I use very little of them and do precisely what you described. Record (you can set automatic starting/stopping based on signal, time or data) and edit (set markers and then split file by markers). The only other features I use regularly are normalize (easy way to boost entire show to highest possible level withouth clipping) and Amplify Volume (for boosting talk and decreasing applause). I've never used it in OS 10, though it lists support. Probably even works better there. neal ------------------------------ From: "Rich Vining" Subject: Re: The Dreaded D7 load error Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 01:13:25 -0500 > So it's good news and bad news, as usual, the yin with the yang- > Your tape is blank, but now you know how to prevent that. "Oh joy!" > I hear you say, "A lesson, when all I wanted was a nice tape." FWIW, this was done with a Sony 60m DGP tape. I've been told they've been a little dangerous to use lately. Eh? Just another contributing factor, perhaps... - R ------------------------------ From: Passenger1@webtv.net (Cherie Ruff) Subject: The Who Encore Shows Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 01:44:22 -0500 (EST) I bought the series of 9 shows initially, and enjoyed the ones I listened to so much that I purchased the entire series before they sold out. ( 26 shows) So now I can spare the set of 9 at a reasonable price (less than what I paid) They are in great condition, with the original sleeves, packing, etc. Some I haven't even opened yet. I know there may be some skeptics out there who realize that I could have copied them for myself and am trying to recoup some of my cost. This is not the case. I would like to sell the ones I have 2 copies of, since I obviously don't need doubles, and I understand that these shows are no longer available so I thought someone might be interested in obtaining these great shows. ------------------------------ From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?G=FCnter_Wandtke?= Subject: Another question re Digital Sampling Woes Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 21:58:11 +1100 I'm using a D8 to Opcode Datport via a passive 7pin cable. Everything appears fine, however I'm getting the odd missing samples = jump in my wave files, as far as I can say so far, maybe one gap per half hour of transfer. I measured one of the gaps, it is half a second ! Anybody encountered this before, any solutions ? Gunter ------------------------------ From: "Patrick Krause" Subject: ISO: Audioslave in Philadelphia Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 08:31:01 -0500 I am in search of the recent Audioslave show at the Electric Factory in Philadephia, PA. I'm new to trading so I have a small list of shows available for trade. Please contact to work a trade, or possibly a B&P. Thanks! Patrick patrick.krause@verizon.net ------------------------------ From: "chris evans" Subject: FS: Apogee 500 w/batt system Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 07:57:05 -0700 Apogee ad500 setup. Supply mics, a preamp (or phantom power supply/line transformers) and a dat deck and you're ready to roll. $400. Pics available. Setup includes: Apogee AD500, serial number 00001 (!). This unit has been upgraded by Apogee to revision e specifications. Also included are: a) a 12 volt SLA battery system consisting of: 1) a 7.2ah 12 volt powersonic sealed lead acid battery, terminated in a 4 pin xlr connector 2) a 5 ah 12 volt sealed lead acid battery (radio shack) terminated in a 4 pin xlr connector 3) a powersonic charger. This charger is the 2 stage model that will rapid charge the battery to a full charge and then trickle charge/moniter the battery once it's charged. b) a 15 pin > 4 pin xlr connector to provide power to the ad500 c) a 1 meter canare aes cable> canare pulse transformer. This cable provides a spdif signal from the ad500's aes digital output. d) a "cage/box" cover for the ad500 custom crafted from durable home depot metal shelving. Seriously, this cage, while rather crude, allows the ad500 some well-needed ventilation space, protects the front panel knobs from being inadvertently jostled, and provides stress relief to the unit's back panel xlr connectors. This ad500 instantly and consistently locks to the appropriate sample rate and has always run like a champ.

Includes: - 2 mv692 bodies - 3 m70 (card) capsules - 2 m93 (omni) capsules Over the past year I bought each (capsules / bodies) as a set, however, each do NOT have sequential serial numbers. The bodies are the older verison (Gefell still makes this mic in Germany) but are (each body) from different eras, since one mic has a flat finish (black) and the other w/a satin-gloss finish. I've used these for home recording and live taping (i. Garaj, Fareed, etc), and have had wonderful results. One of the omni's will need adjustment or work since i've noticed different results in the high/lows. Beyond that, the other 4 caps work perfect. Please contact me w/any questions. Reason for selling: looking at a beautiful gibson acoustic guitar. Price: $500 plus shipping (paid approx $800 one year back for the sets) Chris Evans chrvans@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

I think it's about as sonically pure as it gets without spending insane amounts of $$ on a pro rig - definitely better than Pro Tools/Masterlist. I have a spare legit copy of Peak DV that may do just fine for your purposes (not sure which if any menu items are greyed out in "DV"). You just mark where your tracks go, export to a "playlist", and hit a burn CD icon which launches Toast for you. There are also some fairly kick-ass VST mastering plugins that can help smooth out your sound if necessary... Or you could let me master some of your stuff on my new Sonic Studio HD (the DAW formerly known as Sonic Solutions) ;-) dave n on 3/15/03 11:50 PM, Eliot Byron wrote: > From: Eliot Byron > Subject: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Questions > Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 08:33:52 -0500 > > I am trying to transfer some DATs to CD > > I'm using a > PowerMac G4 400 running OS 10.2.4 > 384 real RAM > and an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 > > DAT Decks are > Tascam DA30, a Sony D100, and a Sony D10 pro II > (I DO HAVE the SP/DIF cables for the Sony's) > > All I want to do is run the DATs into the computer, chop them into tracks, > and burn them with Toast. > > I do not think I need more tracks than two, and would like to avoid the > complex multi-track programs > > What is a good two track editor? > > Please let me know on list or off > > Eliot > NYC ------------------------------ From: cheeseguy usuck Subject: any minidv people here?

Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 20:56:10 -0500 Hey, I am doing a radio piece on the niche of concert-goers who record shows. I am looking to conduct interviews (preferably through phone, or by DAT or Mini disc correspondence) with those who have a good deal of experience recording shows, those who have spent a good deal of time and money attempting to get that perfect sound. I do not intend to make it a "look at how crazy those people are" piece. I record shows myself, and I do appreciate the sentiment involved in recording music one likes. Sample questions include: "What made you decide to record shows?" "How did you start recording shows?" "How much money have you spent on equipment?" "How much time have you invested into getting the perfect recording?" "What's the craziest/funniest/scariest recording moment you have experienced?" "Have you received feedback from musicians you've recorded? If so, what kind?" If anyone is interested please email me at barrylajnwand@earthlink.net. I will be more than happy to provide a copy of the final mix to all involved. thank you and take care, Barry ------------------------------ From: "hiroyuki tanaka" Subject: Rolling Stones and KISS Tokyo shows trade Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 11:48:56 +0900 Hello, I taped Rolling Stones and KISS Tokyo shows.
