From: Michael Blakeley <mike@blakeley.com> Subject: taping TJ Kirk at GAMH? Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 10:22:06 -0800 Anyone know if there'll be taping at the TJ Kirk re-union gig, this Friday and Saturday at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco? I know it used to be easy to tape TJ Kirk, but I'm wondering if this weekend's gigs will be open or not? If you're planning on bringing mics, I'd love to pre-arrange a patch. thanks, and have a yule that's cool, -- Mike

And you can call this rationalization or hypocrisy. But as a matter of copyright law, as long as you don't sell the item, you haven't done anything wrong. Sure, many of the venues prohibit taping (as do some bands) but what they are really doing is trying to prevent someone from making money that might otherwise go to the band. If you are living right as a taper, you are not making that possible. I try to ask artists for an OK in every situation, but it's not always possible. (I'm usually in small clubs seeking a soundboard patch, so it's rather mandatory that the artist OK it). But the downside would be -- I suppose -- that some tapers don't buy a band's official releases because they own so many tapes? Except we all know that's not true. Most of us put more money in the bands' pockets than non-tapers. So you can live by the letter of the law, or the spirit of it. I think responsible tapers honor the spirit. BASS SATURATION: > >"If, after making a tape, you decide there's too much >bass, you can have MUCH more control over the bass in >post-production (ie by copying or computering the >tape) than a simple filter during recording. >I completely disagree. If I get too much bass during >the actual recording process, it is impossible to >properly remove the distorted points of maximum volume using any software within my possession. > If you >think you can remove oversaturated bass signals from >masters, I'd love to send you a Sonic Youth tape that I'd desperately like to salvage. And I've got a Built to Spill show that you can repair for me too. I agree with Phil ... oversaturation during recording leaves you with a useless DAT. The low end obscures some of the signal you want to retain. There's no way to recover it, and I've tried ProTools and just about everything else. Best to go with the filter. Berkeley Mike
