Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 23:02:58 -0600 I just got a laptop and am looking to go 24 bit. Anyone know the going rate now? I bought it for $1,500 4 years ago and I'm not sure what a fair price is. ------------------------------ From: Christopher D Gacek Subject: RE: Soundman OKM II Microphones Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 23:23:57 CST   Just looking to get some opinions on the Soundman OKM II microphones. Has anyone on this list used them? Any pros/cons? Does anyone in the U.S. sell them? Thanks, Chris ------------------------------ From: Keith Bode Subject: Birchmere Taping Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 02:20:48 -0800 Damn, There was a show at the Birchmere a few weeks ago, I would love to get a copy of a show there on 2/28/03 which was Bill Kirchen, with Commander Cody opening. I have had a fair amont of contact with Commander, A very psycho dude. Kircen had been the Lead guitarist with the original LPA, and now he's been playing with his own band, and is a mindboggling good rockabilly Telecaster player. He's toured and played wit Nick Lowe, and others. If any eastcoasters were able to get a recoring of this show, as Commander Cody's band pened, and Commander had said he was going to do 3 sngs with Kirchen's band.

I'm not clear if tickets are open to the public, but naturally if would be very cool if someone could find their way into the venue & make a recording of this show. If you are successful, I would greatly appreciate a copy of this show on dat or cdr. In trade, I have a wonderful copy of the George Harrison Benefit concert @ The Royal Albert Hall from November 29th, 2002....or you can choose from over 3,000 other entries on my list!

Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 10:39:10 -0500 First of all. I think that it is great that the Birchmere is finally waking up to taper friendly bands. History and personal experience has shown that in the past that anti-taper would be a mild statement for this venue. My experience was that even when the artist was O.K. & the tape was for the artist, the Birchmere wanted to charge a fee!!!! It appears that they want to change & be different, however I am a little confused as to how tapers need to be by the soundboard but not have mic stands. Yes this is a step in the right direction, however it doesn't seem that they have come around 100% yet. Hopefully this will be worked out & I too can begin to go BACK to the Birchmere. The original Birchmere was, in its day, one of my favorite places to go and record! PEACE Stuart "In general, recording is not allowed at The Birchmere (as most of the acts we play do not allow it). If an act specifically requests that taping be allowed, than we will allow it (like Keller, Robt Hunter, Derek Trucks. No mic stands & no obstructing of anyone's view. Tapers need to stay in the back by the soundboard, or have equipment that is unobtrusive at your table. Our staff is friendly to tapers, as long as tapers are friendly to our staff." Sincerely, The Birchmere PEACE & BLESSINGS, Stuart ------------------------------ From: Ryan Engel Subject: Misloaded and mysteriously blank dat Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 9:50:28 -0600 Hi All I have a Sony D8. When prepping for a show recently, I had a set of batteries die while fast forwarding a tape. This caused my deck to eat the tape, which I replaced with a new tape, and went to record the show. When I got home and tried to eject the tape, it caught on one of the wheels inside my DAT deck. I managed to get it unstuck without breaking it, and I wound the tape back up with the eraser end of a pencil. I used a Sony head cleaning tape and successfully recorded two shows since my unloading incident. Yesterday I went to play back the tape that had got caught in the deck during unload, and it comes up as blank. My deck says it's blank. I spot checked the rest of the tape and don't get any sound output anywhere in the 2+ hours of tape that had a recording on them once (I gave a brief listen to it after taping the show). Can anyone tell me what might have happened that my recording somehow got erased? Is it possible that the data is still on the tape and my deck just doesn't see it? Thanks in advance for any information/help anyone can provide. R ------------------------------ From: Colin Liston Subject: Stanley Clarke taping policy? Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 13:31:01 -0500 (EST) Does anyone know if Stanley Clarke allows taping of any kind? thanks colin ------------------------------ From: Todd Romero Subject: Re: Misloaded and mysteriously blank dat Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 13:54:27 -0500 (EST) let me guess.. is the tape a Sony DG60P? (or DG90P) this seems to be a frequently occuring thing lately with the Sony DGxxP tapes. they recently changed the blank stock they used. i think the bad ones say "DDS-1" on them now. at any rate, you arent alone, and dont waste time trying to recorver the tape. there is no data on it. i had been using the sony dg60p tapes for 8+ years without one single problem till recently with the new stock. needsless to say.. ive switched brands to prevent this in the future, i recommend recording a 30sec's or so after you put the tape in. then eject the tape and put it back in. you can hit play if u want to see if there are levels from what u recorded, or you can just check to see if it read the timecode. if it read the time code on the tape, you know its loaded properly.
