Would love to get a copy of the Waits set if anyone happened to be there. Also, is anyone taping The Weakerthans on their current tour? would love more recordings of them. I'll be doing the Oct. 17 Columbus show. r.

Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 23:07:17 -0500 I've heard they are open taping for sure, but i have a friend who is wanting to know if they allow video as well. Please get back in touch with me on this. Many thanks in advance, Benjamin ------------------------------ From: "JASON BRANTLEY" Subject: Re: ISO:Computer to Stereo System setups Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 01:40:47 -0600 Any 24 bit capable soundcard will work. I would make sure the card is bit perfect, however, because there are lots of devices that claim 24 bit support, that are not bit perfect. What recording device do you use do to make your 24 bit recordings? Almost every device I know of that can be used to record at 24 bit can also be used for playback. Does your home stereo have digital inputs? Do you have an outboard DAC? Lots of little questions would help to determine the best route for you. I'm guessing probably the best way to go is just plug the laptop you use to record into the stereo either via analog or digital I/O. Obviously, to achieve the best results you would want to go digital out of your computer interface to a quality outboard DAC going into your either a pre-amp, or powered monitors As for storage of the 24 bit material you can use .ape (Monkey's Audion Compression) or .flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec). Recently .flac has taken the stage as the standard for most people, because the project is open source and multi platform. Storing 24 bit onto CD is very ineffecient however. A recording at 24bit/96kHz uses approximately 2G's per hour, so each hour of recording will require approximately 3 CD's in .wav format, using .flac to compress you can get that down to about 65% of the original size, still 2 CD's per hour. A better way to go these days is DVD-R (4.7 GB's) Using .flac to compress you can archive approximately 3.5 hours of 24/96 .wav data per DVD-R. Another option is DiscWelder Steel v2, or DiscWelder Chrome to create gapless 24bit DVD-A's that can be played in many of the newer DVD players on the market. This doesn't even require a computer to playback the 24 recordings, just to make, master and author the DVD-A's. My favorite solution is storage directly on removable harddrives. You can either stock up on external firewire or USB 2.0 drives, or better yet invest in geek bay system and you can get your storage costs down to well under a $1.00 a gig. I have one computer in my living room that is connected to my stereo and home network that has access to every harddrive in the house. Check the archives of the laptop tapers Yahoo group for more details on all of these topics.

Soundman's name is Myk (Mike); super nice guy, great engineer...show lasts about 1:40. Isis, the opening band is not to be missed. Not sure how they feel about taping though. one caveat however: the room mix is so loud and sweet a board tape alone does not do this show justice. A perfect show to do an audience and a board tape and mix them post. have at it indie rockers, tm __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
