This show was taken directly off the master analog cassette and burnt to cdr. It contains Bob doing all his stand up stuff as well as many songs sung by Bob and backed up by a full orchestra. If interested, feel free to contact me for a B&P.

(exception: Canon XL1) Also, you run a very good chance of brickwalling (distorting) the audio on the camcorder unless your mic>attenuator>camcorder situation is just right. On one popular Sony camera I tested, the difference between "adequate level" and "badly distorted" was very slight; ie, the camera had no dynamic range. On the other hand, if you're in a position to plug a soundboard into a miniDV camera, if you can arrange so there's no overload (proper attenuators or whatever), the compression can actually help. Many badly mixed soundboard can be saved by adding heavy compression, and as a bonus, it will bring up the volume of the audience between songs. Finally, I recommend ALWAYS using the "12-bit" audio on camcorders, because this makes it possible to add a second audio track. Often you can combine a camcorder tape and a DAT this way without using a computer. (Hint: If I can't start it exactly right, I'll lay down the audio slightly *ahead* of the picture; then, I play the DV tape back through an audio digital delay line (Alesis Midverb IV) and simply "dial in" the amount of delay needed to bring the pix & sound together. One you have it correct, simply rewind the DV and dub it to your DVD recorder or SVHS master). In theory, the 16 bit audio would sound better, but trust me, the preamps in these cameras are HORRIBLE and the sound of concerts recorded from mics at the camera position is, at best, tolerable, so you're really not likely to hear any difference between 12 and 16 bit audio. But, if you use 16 bit, you forever lose the chance to dub a second (stereo) audio track. One more note: in LP speed (90mins or 2hrs per tape), you can record in 12 bit but you can't dub audio. BUT, if you dub a 12-bit tape in LP to a tape in SP, you get a 12-bit tape in SP which you can perform an audio dub to. --Gary ------------------------------ ** 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.
