As far as quality, it seems as from looking at the spec's and analysis that the Core Sound preamp is superior to the Sonic Studios preamp as far as performance is concerned. Why the Sonic Studios preamp is priced $500 hundred dollars higher than the Core Sound and doesn't even work as good is beyond me. But Sonic Studios tends to overprice all of their stuff anyway. Leonard the owner of Sonic Studios has always for some odd reason priced his products a little on the expensive side. In my humble opinion I figure that for the huge difference in both price and performance the Core Sound seems to be the way to go. Not only does the Core Sound preamp cost less, but technically according to the spec's it should beat the pants off of the Sonic Studios preamp as well. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Subject: ISO Pavement 6-17-99 Scheops DAT / Tori Amos 99 DATs Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 14:58:45 +0000 I'm sorry for making an individual post about this, but I'm in the process of converting my hi8 masters to DVD. I want to put the best audio possible with them. I recorded a DAT (csb) of this show but would like to get a dat clone (or 48khz SHN if you own the DAT but can't clone) of the Schoeps tape [6-17-99 NYC, NOT the night before 6-16-99]. I know this was recorded and have seen some copies on CDR but I need a dat clone (preferred) or 48k SHN. If you can help me out, I can trade you something from my list (I have a ton fo pavement and other artists, on video and CDR) or send you a copy of the finished DVD. I'm also looking for two Tori Amos shows, again on DAT; 29 june 98 Philadelphia and 23 november 1998 Bethlehem. Same story as with the Pavement shows, only I've never seen these circulating. E-mail me if you can help, slowdivingblue@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus ------------------------------ From: Don Webb Subject: Faster, faster, faster..... Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 09:03:23 -0700 (PDT) Not to start a war here, but I'd be naturally suspicious of any study done by a manufacturer or supplier who then announces in the same breath the creation of the media they want to sell you.... d. From: Klay Anderson Subject: CDR Speeds Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 08:06:09 -0600 "Jamie Lutch" Subject: cdr speeds Brought up: perhaps its time to check out newer burners. My liteon 52X burns flawless discs in 2 1/2 minutes. Now I do a lot of mastering at 1x and most of you probably are striving for 600x, but I'll quote from a recent HHb Press Release: ======================= As most CD-R media manufacturers chase the large and lucrative data recording market, evidence is emerging that high record-speed discs are failing in standalone audio CD recorders. Dennis Charney of Pennsylvania pro audio service center NXT Generation reports "We're seeing an increasing number of audio CD recorders from all manufacturers with the fault reported as 'does not record'. We check them out using correctly speed-rated discs and find that they work perfectly. When we ask the users what type of discs they use, they often reply 'the same as I always use' but what they don't understand is that most manufacturers are constantly increasing the speed ratings of their media for compatibility with the latest high-speed computer drives. Unfortunately, this means they're often no longer compatible with the 1x drives used in audio CD recorders." It's a problem that New Product Development Manager Henry Edwards is also seeing at HHb Communications in London. "High-speed discs will often set-up in audio CD recorders and even appear to finalize, but won't replay. What's more, these discs put an excessive strain on the lower powered lasers of audio CD recorders which can reduce component life, making it all the more important that operators use correctly speed-rated discs." To address this problem, HHb has developed a comprehensive range of pro-audio optimized CD-R recording media, specifically developed and extensively tested for use with standalone audio CD recorders and duplicators. The HHb Professional Recording Media range includes a range of 74 minute, 80 minute, printable and bulk packaged 'silver type' discs, all rated 1x-24x, and a 'gold type' 1x-8x disc. "Users need consistently reliable performance at 1x" concludes Charney. "They should be cautious of using any CD-R disc with a specified speed rating wider than 1x-24x". ========================== End quote. Food for thought.

Currently the mics in question are sonic studios w/ batter box. The show will be a somewhat loud metal/bassy show. are there any major advantages of using the m1 over the minidv. -steve bwt(1 b+p): only winner will be contacted w/ details Poison the Well 07.04.03 DSM-6S/L>PA6LC3B(250)>M1 _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ From: "Stephen Pzynski" Subject: Taping at Telluride Blues & Brews? Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2003 18:50:08 -0500 Hey all... I'm wondering if anyone plans on running a sturdy rig on a sturdy stand for the Blues and Brews Fest on Sept. 12-14 and would allow me to clamp on? I'm flying out from Minneapolis and hate to bring my Bogen stand on the airplane if I don't have to. Not sure if this event is generally saturated with taper's or not? I'm also planning on the Karl Denson show at Sheridan Opera House on Sunday night after the Festival. Thanks all....

I'm hitting a multi-day festival soon and will be camping so I'll need to charge my battery/ies somehow. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks all...

M ------------------------------ From: "Fares Halteh" Subject: FT: The Mars Volta Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 00:03:47 -0400 As I mentioned in a previous post, I was able to tape the Toronto stop on the tour. Taped on a mic stand Microtech Gefell Caps > Microtech Gefell SMS 2000 bodies > Edirol UA5 (digi-mod out) > Sony PCM-M1. Came out pretty good. I am doing B+Ps for the show. Since I expect a large amount of replies I will be able to take only the first 20 responses and I'd prefer to burn the disc(1) as data in shn format. This will make my life easier, and seems to be preferred by a lot of traders these days. I live in Canada, so you Americans, please judge yourselves accordingly, pre-stamped postage will not work :( p.s. I will share this show on the smashing pumpkins hub soon. address: tsphub.dyndns.org:1979 --Fares ------------------------------ ** 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.
