From: "J G" <jgreen11@umbc.edu> Subject: Getting started with DAT Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 15:04:51 -0400 Hi my name is Justin. I am getting started in DAT trading and I would love to get a hold of some shows to help me get started. I am mainly interested in Audioslave and RATM. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Justin
From: dave@deadlinepublicity.com Subject: FT/ISO Lollapalooza 03, Indy and beyond Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 14:16:44 -0500 Hey there. Taped opening day of Lollapalooza, Tornado and all. Only time I'ver ever been scared for my life at a concert. The delay made me miss the first two songs of QOTSA. Otherwise tapes of them Incubus, Audioslave and Jane's are all pretty decent with CSC and D8 taped dead center about 10 rows behind sbd. Anyone else tape that day? I'd love to hear other source since there was a fair amount of wind (not too noticeable on my tapes, and not too frequent. i'm gonna try to clean up the tapes with some new software I downloaded)and crowd (only bad during incubus, screaming girls etc.) All the sets were shortened because of the delay. Jane's played a measily 55 minutes. Sound was f'ed up many times. With opening song by Audioslave missing vocals early on and 1st Jane's song "stop" without any guitars whatsoever. Pretty sad for one of the most memorable Alt rock guitar riffs of all time. Anyway good luck taping the rest of the tour.

(Higher resolution than 16 bits, and higher speeds than 44.1/48 kHz are even better.) > People have told me that I should stick with MD as DAT Recorders are soon to > be outdated by better, cheaper methods of recording (Hard Disk recording). > True / False? True; but MD will be just as outdated. Seth

From: Chad H <hobbscf@yahoo.com> Subject: newbie - microphone selection help... Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 07:01:45 -0700 (PDT) Ok... This is my first post here... I just ordered a creative nomad jukebox 3 (20gb model) which I would like to use to record shows. My main question is which mic should I get. And yeah... I know there is no "right" answer. But I'd just like to hear some other thoughts. My price range is under $300. I plan to tape mostly stealth... And mostly loud bands in small-medium sized venues. Not many (if any) small or acoustic shows. And I will be taping for a variety of spots/conditions. Near, far, left, right, balcony, crowd, etc... From what I have read Cardioid mics are the way to go for these situations. But Binaural mics seem to be more popular. The only significant advantage binaural mics have (that I can find) is a better sense of "hall effects" -- Which imho would only be useful if you have a fairly quiet and "acoustically happy" (there has to be a better word for this) room. Also binaural mics seem to require you to be somewhere near the sound for proper effect. I have a feeling binaural mics used on the side of a room or back of a room might sound funny. One fear of the cardioid mics I have is it being TOO directional. If I have the mics mounted in a hat or on my glasses and I turn to look to my left (or heaven forbid - behind me) - is the sound going to suffer significantly? Will it be obvious? Will I have to take my glasses off to turn my head? So far all I have seriously looked at are the core-sound mics. I have seen some other similar mics using audio technica caps... Also are the core-sound battery box/bass roll-off filter a good deal? Are there any other recomended boxes? Anyone recomend Sonic Studios? I like the idea of buying from core-sound as they seem to be very easy to deal with, and have been around for a long time and specialize in live recording. Reply to list or me personally thanks for any help, suggestions, comments, thoughts, etc... --Chad hobbscf@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

From: Karl Rehn <rehn@arlut.utexas.edu> Subject: looking for receiver w/ lots of digital inputs Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 10:35:58 -0500 I've got 2 DATs and a CD player all with digital outs, and I'm shopping for a new receiver that handles multiple digital inputs. All I want is audio-only, just stereo. No interest in all the extra "home theater" features that most receivers seem to have now. I'd like it to handle digital data from Sony DATs. If anyone has suggestions, recommendations, etc, email me at rehn@krtraining.com.
