I don't know what Karl bases his statements on. For the record, the "compression" I refer to is analog compression of the audio dynamic range (ie, automatic level), not digital bit reduction. The compression I'm referring to is *intended* to change the sound, whereas digital bit compression (ie, MP3, Digital Dolby) is not. --Gary ------------------------------ From: "Gary Davis" Subject: Compression to save bad soundboards Reply-to: g@hoxnet.com Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 04:19:11 -00 The reason that audio (gain) compression can help badly mixed soundboards is simple: If some of the instruments/vocals are too loud, and some are too soft, compressing the audio so that everything is the same volume will correct this! Of course, compressing the mixed signal can't make everything the same volume at the same time, so it's not a perfect solution, but I've been surprised by how well it can work. --Gary ------------------------------ From: "Adam Ryan" Subject: ISO: Evan Dando tapers....Australian Tour Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 21:50:47 +1000 Hi there, This is a perhaps naive request from someone who does not actually have DAT Recorder or any shows to trade, but here goes. Will anyone on this mailing list be attending (and recording) any of Evan Dando's Australian Tour shows in the coming days? Friday, 1st August @ Prince of Wales in Melbourne Saturday, 2nd August @ Hi-Fi Bar in Melbourne Monday, 4th August @ The Zoo in Brisbane Tuesday, 5th August @ The Metro in Sydney ---- I am also a fan of the support act, 'The Givegoods', who are playing at each show on the Tour also. If anyone is going to be there, and recording, I would be most interested if you were kind enough to consider some sort of deal, for blanks & postage for any / all of the above mentioned gigs. I know it is not much of a deal for the Taper, but I would be most appreciative and would like to start my collection one way or another. Regards and thanks for the space...please feel free to contact me off-list if you prefer.

(D8) Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 14:32:37 -0400 I'm looking to buy a used/refurbished D8 preferrably with a 7 pin input/output cable. I found someone selling one with 130 hours on the heads that had it sent in to Pro Digital to have everything cleaned and one of the glide block posts reglued. My questions is: Is 130 hours of use worth buying or should I look for a rig with less use but probably more expensive? Thanks Chris ------------------------------ From: "Ragan Todd" Subject: Upcoming taping opportunities for OtR Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 19:16:22 +0000 I know there are a few Over the Rhine fans on this list, so I thought I'd pass this along. Keep in mind that their label is anti-taping, but the band is not. You can stealth with a clear conscience ;-) Have plenty of OtR to trade for any of these special occasions.

Thanks, Brian ------------------------------ From: "DCA" Subject: Shure Headphones Reply-To: "DCA" Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 19:59:18 -0400 Don't Cancel, Block Noise for Better Sound!** Noise canceling headphones can be great on a noisy train or bus, but they won't block out the screaming kid sitting behind you, or that moron on the cell phone. If you like listening to music on the go, but hate all the distracting noises, we've got a solution for you. It's a new in-ear set of headphones, modeled after the ones Madonna and Bruce use on stage. Surprisingly affordable, these could be the best headphones since the invention of electrostatic plates! ** Copied from Ziff Davis Newsletter. ------------------------------ From: "Andy Liu" Subject: Re: ISO: SP-CMC-4 (AT853) mic users Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 17:29:07 -0700 I got a pair of AT853Rx that I run into a Sonosax SX-M2. The SP versions handle slightly less max dBs, the Rxs 138dB max. The output in power from the stock AT batt box is less than 5V. I have no idea about Chris' batt boxes but the AT8511 power module puts out about 8V when hooked to a 48V phantom supply (Rx version). They are what Owen said, the best sub $500 stealth mics around. They are kind of too big to clip to glasses and the omnis are useless as I used them and got major thumping in a nightclub setting (Supergrass, Showbox, Seattle). The Cards and Hypers are nice. They are better at handling crowd noise than a CSB-O or CSC. I think they are nicer too in terms of transient details than the CSB-O. Great mics for the price. I own both DPA 4061s and AT853Rxs to this date and love them both! ANDY BWT: Gregory Paul Group 7-28-03 (1cd SHN) - 2 copies ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! Coner Byrne Pub Seattle, WA (FOB DFC, 10 feet back, ORTF) Nakamichi CM-301>Sonosax SX-M2>Zu-Cable Pivot Silver>Oade modSBM>M1 These guys are one of the best non-jammy jam bands around I have seen in a while. They are from Rochester NY and will be making waves before too long. The recording is stunning despite the shortcommings of the room and PA. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ From: P0wderfinger@aol.com Subject: ISO: RHCP 6/6/03 Charlotte Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 21:34:20 -0400 I'm looking for RHCP 6/6/03 Charlotte on cdr.

XM Radio is supposed to broadcast live from the Satchmo Summerfest in New Orleans this weekend (Saturday and Sunday). It's XM channel 70. Not sure which sets they're broadcasting, but there's some pretty good jazz lined up - trad as well as modern. Richard ------------------------------ From: Mark Mayhle Subject: ALD tips? Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2003 01:48:47 -0500 (CDT) I've never tried taping with an ALD but thought I might give it a go. Are they generally easy to get at public facilities-- ie, handed to anyone who asks for one? Am I better off buying my own? Any general tips appreciated, off list if you prefer.
