(Danny Thweatt) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Tyler Huff" Subject: Mic Suggestions for a 'in-the-bedroom-with-a-mic-and-a-MD' recording? Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 22:52:33 -0800 A friend of mine who is just getting big in the local scene, and asked me advice on what mic she should get when she is doing her solo-sessions in her bedroom. She is recording with just a Mini-disk and the mic and her guitar and her voice in her bedroom. what do you guys all suggest? I record shows with AT831 mics, but i don't think they are the best for this situation. i think one of those mics with a stand and is about the size of a twinky, right? Any suggetsions/comments are very appreciated. Good times!

If you're camera does not have inputs (which sounds very strange), then you need an external device to do the encoding for you. As I see it there are two options. If you have a computer with firewire, then all you need is to get one of the $50-100 video capture USB devices. I believe you can capture the video to the computer and then write it out via the firewire interface. Depending on what video software you have, you might have to purchase one. The other option is to buy a dedicated analog to DV format converter. These start around $300 and go up. If you're looking for recommendations, I suggest you hunt around on the web for a few video forums, as I don't keep up with all the latest equipment. As an example, though, Canopus offers two solutions that look interesting. The first is the ADVC-100 Analog to DV (and the other way). I believe it can be used standalone, but you should check. It's priced at $299. For strictly computer use, they offer the ADVC50 Media converter that only does analog to Digital, and is priced at $200. Canopus is pretty well regarded, and many people have used them without problems, but I do understand there are circumstances where they can have serious conflicts with specific computer components (specific chipsets and/or firewire controllers).

Since I usually tape club shows from very close to the stack, I'm wondering if the 4060's might overload. I've never had any distortion problems with my CSB's, not even when used head-in-stack at very loud outdoor festivals, and even though Core Sound's Len Moskowitz assured me the 4060's wouldn't clip either, I would still like to hear from people who've actually used them in such situations. The main reason why I want the 4060's is because of their low selfnoise (23 dBA). I would like to use them for home recording applications (acoustic interuments, mainly guitars) as well as for taping shows. Any comments appreciated! Thanks Christian ------------------------------ From: Jason Neely Subject: Re: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Questions Reply-To: bondibox@bellsouth.net Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 07:45:11 -0500 BY FAR the easiest way I've found to cut a DAT show into tracks is with the sector boundry features of shntool. as shown in this URL http://mtdshn.home.mchsi.com/macosxshn/shntoolsplit.html. Oh, the hours I spent dividing the early tapes with cut & paste in the audio program ... -jas ------------------------------ From: "Bob Siegl" Subject: re: mini dv ?

Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 12:05:21 -0800 (PST) i got a dvcamera with no analog IN, but has dv in/out, is there way to get it so i can go from the vcr into the camera? like a set of cables that have the three analog plugs on one side and minidv on the other or some kind of convertor to go thru? thanks i think you'll need to have the camera set to VCR, not camera - the setting you use to play your tape back. use the AV I/O and a three RCA to mini plug. at least this is how i think it works with the sony trv series. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

I have a MD master from BB King's 3-16-03 Thanks PC. Mike's the lead singer from the 60's DC 5, for those of you who don't know. The set consist of R& R standards peppered with old DC 5 ravers, and a guest appearance by Little Steven on the encore. Thirty five years out of the limelight haven't diminished his great voice." Catch him if you can." http://home.att.net/~meurglys3/index.html Tom ------------------------------ From: Trey Woodruff Subject: FS: Lucid DA9624 (DAC) Reply-To: tbrown@livetaping.com Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 08:54:44 -0800 (PST) A first-class converter for recording, mastering, and post-production. Take your digital recording system to the next level with the addition of the DA9624. This converter bridges the gap between analog and digital equipment with transparent audio conversion. True 24-bit resolution is the best way to record and process all the detail the human ear can hear. The DA9624 supports sample rates of 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, 44.1kHz, and 32kHz. Multiple connections for flexible operation. The DA9624 receives input through professional AES/EBU and consumer S/PDIF(coaxial and optical TOSLINK) connectors, and it delivers analog output through XLR and 1/4'' connectors for interfacing with balanced or unbalanced equipment. A front panel headphone output provides a convenient way to monitor audio levels. Finishing touches make all the difference. Easy-to-read, 20-segment LED ladders show you exactly where to set I/O controls for optimal D/A conversion. Rack the DA9624 next to the AD9624 using a Lucid RM-4 rack mount tray, or use the DA9624 on its own for your specific interface requirements.
