Just wondering if anyone has had any problems filming Ween recently. I filmed them a couple of years ago, but I don't know if their policy has changed. Any info on this, public or private is greatly appreciated.
Also looking for a good quality No Knife show where they play stuff off "Fire in the City of Automatons".
Thanks,
Wes

For any real length of recording, you'll need a large CF card or an PC
Card.
You can get 1GB CF for $100-150. There are also CF microdrives and PC
Card Hard drives that will work. I have a 5GB Toshiba PC Card hard
drive.
I'd recommend an ipaq 3600/3700/3800/3900. if you want wi-fi builtin,
get a 5400/5500, but the 3000 series are discontinued and probably a lot
cheaper.
The PDAudio requires a CF slot. Most pdas have these, but the ipaqs are
the only ones that let you get an attachment to use more than one CF
card.
So you need
-ipaq
-pdaudio card
-storage card
-dual CF sleeve or dual PC Card sleeve.
Here's a link to the dual PC Card sleeve. Probably the better option,

C+Devices&dept%5Fid=3709&pf%5Fid=MP965183&listing=1
Since you can get up to 5GB PC Card hard drives, and it has a large
battery built in.
My first post to DAT-Heads, but something I know a good deal about.

Hi Dat heads, I want anyones opinion on a preamp and amp for a hi fi system.
Would you buy a Niam Audio system or a Mcintosh system regardless of the price.

CF will be available in ridiculous sizes (at ridiculous prices): I've
seen 1.5GB for $450 (due 9/10), 2GB for $650, 3 GB for $1100, 6GB for
$4500 (due 9/30) at mobileplanet.com.
Toshiba 5GB PCMCIA hard disk is around $200.
> I'd recommend an ipaq 3600/3700/3800/3900.
Definitely a lot cheaper than the 5000 series, in the $200-400 range
(the low end for refurbished).

I trust the attachment works even if the iPAQ has only an SD slot.
Which is actually faster, the 206 MHz or 400 MHz models? And does it
matter?

That's why I recommend this. It's not really feasible to use this for
taping with less than 2GB (roughly 3 hours at 16/44). Now, a 2GB CF
card will run you $650. You could get two 1GB cards and swap them for
half that price. The problem here is the battery life. CF draws less
current than the hard drives will, but they're a lot more expensive.
With the ipaq and expansion batteries, you'll probably only get 3-5
hours with CF. And considerably less with a microdrive or Toshiba
drive. But for under $20, you can buy parts from radioshack for an
external pack that'll use C or D rechargables. That'll give you more
than enough time.
> Definitely a lot cheaper than the 5000 series, in the $200-400 range

The 5000 series include removable 1250mAH batteries. They offer a
thicker 2500mAH battery, but you cant use that with any sleeves, so it
won't work with PDAudio. The 3600 and 3700 have 950mAH non-removable
batteries, and the 3800 and 3900 have 1400mAH non-removables. The 36
and 37 have no SD slot. The others do have SD, but its not fast enough
to record this audio anyways.
> I trust the attachment works even if the iPAQ has only an SD slot.
PDAudio-CF is a CF card. It requires a CF slot, or a PCMCIA slot and a
cheap adapter. None of the ipaqs I mentioned have a CF slot built in.
You need to buy an add-on sleeve. There are many sleeves. Some with
one CF slot (won't do a whole lot of good). Some with two CF slots
(better), one with Two PC Card slots (bingo) and a big battery built in.
> Which is actually faster, the 206 MHz or 400 MHz models? And does it
matter?
It's debatable. The first 400MHz (Intel PXA250) models weren't really
any faster than the 206MHz ones. But they did draw less power. The
newer 400MHz (Intel PXA255) chips are definitely faster, but only found
in the ipaq 2210, 5150, 5550, and other new models. The other
manufacturers make good devices, but ipaqs are the only ones that can
use PDAudio with another CF or PCMCIA card. So unless you want to buy a
dozen 512MB SD cards, and swap like crazy, stick with one of these
ipaqs.

The Violet Burning is planning to play a special show at The Talking
Stick Coffee Lounge in Santa Monica this Saturday, September 13. Michael is
promising to play any requested songs (except Freebird, of course), so there
could be some great oldies thrown in to their usual great set. I'm not
familiar with the venue, but the band is taper friendly, and sbd patches are
not uncommon. Go hear and tape this great indie rock band. Have lots to
trade, thanks!

I have the HP 216198-B21 on order; that includes the adapter for CF
cards (it has 2 PC Card slots). It has (according to Core Sound's
page) 2 100 mAh non-removable batteries, which can be replaced with up
to 2200 mAh batteries. (Source for the latter?) (The cheapest place
to buy it looks like Amazon.com.)
So it looks like the 3800 or 3900 series are the best bet, if only for
slightly larger batteries.
I went for the 3835, based on price (since this is the only
application I'll use it for).
Next week: how it all performs.

Hello to all,
I am using Sound Forge 6.0 to convert my DAT's to CD. I've just started
experimenting with this software. I'm looking for advice on mastering;
should I use the normalize or Wave Hammer function (essentially a volume
booster) to increase the levels? I am aware of the faults of normalizing
with inferior software. Also, how does one eliminate the high-pitched
screaming of female fans next to my microphones? Any other mastering
advice would be very much appreciated.
BWT will be offered when I get some good finished recordings to offer up!
Thanks,
Matt
