Kieth is right, stick with what works. Nothing sucks like pulling out
an old favorite show on CDR that has gone bad.

Looking to trade, because it's fun. I have an extensive list. Recent
additions include McCartney & Brian Wilson from the Adopt-A-Landmine Benefit
in 2002. Not great sound but interesting to hear them duet on God Only
Knows and Let It Be.
One show I am looking for is an excellent recording of Dan Fogelberg from
Santa Monica in 1976 (radio broadcast). I have a copy with pretty poor
sound.
If you're interested, send me your list and I'll send you mine.

They review a large number of s/w packages for testing discs.
They present test results for a large number of CDR /DVD discs
as well as burners.
Not tremendously well organised, but useful.

I am going to try and attempt Gary Davis's "Super Seven Stereo
Soundboard" technique at an upcoming show. I am looking for some
recommendations for the mixer to be used with this. The one Gary
recommends is much too large to get into the venue with, if you know
what I mean. The band is fine with soundboards, but the security people
usually never have a clue, so the size is important to avoid such
problems. I found a couple mixers that would do the job by Rolls, but
was wondering if anyone else had any other recommendations. The design
criteria would be small, battery operated, stereo, and 3-4 inputs, with
a pan and volume controls a strong plus. Thanks for your input, it is
really appreciated.

How about an SPL meter from Radio Shack and some (electronic in-line) pads ?
Lets say that you know the AVLS starts to kick in when the SPL of the band
is 88 dB. The SPL meter says the band is 98 dB. So you just pop in a 10 dB
pad.
Alternately you could adjust the gain on the Beachtek.
Hope this helps.

Samson has some nice "pocket" mixers that use batteries. Just
search on the brand name to find facts and dealers.
Also, Markertek.com has some cool DC powered devices that will
run fine on 12VDC even though 24V is recommended for maximum
headroom. Check out these "Stick-Ons" models: ST-MX3, ST-MMX3,
ST-MLX3, ST-LMX3. These are all mono mixers, two are needed for
stereo. The manufacturer, Radio Design Labs, also has a website
with much more technical info about these devices. Up to you to
figure out it they can be combined to do what you need - but they are
SMALL!
While you are at Markertek, have a look at their Rolls devices: MX44,
MX22, MX28, MX41, MX51, MX54S, and MX56S.
Markertek also carries the Samson mixers along with mini models
from Midiman and Spirit. Its is a good place to see what is available.
The manufacturer's websites are the best places to get complete
information about a product.
