He was aware of it and did not object, either before, during or after the show. They were also taping for the live CD that was released this year. He puts on a great show and I didn't notice any airs regarding a literary connection. As James says, he used to think he was an artist but he found out he was a beer salesman. Don From: "Dan McDonnell" Subject: J McMurtry taping policy Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 08:27:14 -0400 Anyone know how James McMurtry feels about taping? I'm guessing he is against it, based on his "literary" reputation. Thanks, Dan in SC ------------------------------ From: DeMatt Harkins Subject: Re: J McMurtry taping policy Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 09:46:33 -0500 He doesn't allow taping. ------------------------------ From: Joe Navalance Subject: DVD-R content Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2004 11:11:12 -0400 Hello! I am with Media Supply. We have helped a lot of you out with Mitsui and Taiyo Yuden cdrs. I thought you would be interested in this content. If you have any questions or comments, please call or email me. I will be glad to discuss prices with you if you are interested. We are a very large distributor of Verbatim. Thanks! Joe Navalance, Media Supply, 800-681-9214 or joe@mediasupply.com Are some brands of DVD Recordable better than others? As those of us who work in the business of disc production start to see DVD Recordable become a significant portion of usage, some of the standards we=B9re use to working with are challenged. Need help finding the best CD-R for your job? No problem, I can handle that. Tell me what you=B9re doing, how you=B9re sending it, what=B9s going on the disc and how the disc be used, and I can point you in the right direction. Archiving? Then Mitsui/MAM-A gold is the best for you. Need a low price on discs that won=B9t let you down? Go wit= h the Taiyo Yuden.=20 Unfortunately DVD Recordable isn=B9t the same easy group of answers. Check with a manufacturer about why their particular DVD works best, and you=B9ll get comparisons to their CD-R quality and broad statements about overall quality, which are hard to measure or prove. So how do you differentiate one DVD Recordable from another? Well the starting point is what works for you. If you have had positive experiences with a particular DVD Recordable, then keep going with it. We=B9ve found in our office that certain DVDs can be "problem solvers", or the discs we send out when a client complains of playback problems in a laptop or old set-top player. A problem inherent with inexpensive DVD media is video skip, which will occur in the second half of a full DVD. Another issue is ability to recognize the disc in older laptop or set-top players. By recording to Verbatim, MAM-A or Taiyo Yuden DVD, most of these errors can be avoided. These three manufacturers use quality dye materials, and the AZO dye used b= y Verbatim has specific long-life characteristics. The AZO dye shows lower error rates after 600 hours of aging, where the specification is below 280 hours. Another aspect of DVD disc quality is the bonding agent, which keeps the two-piece DVD disc together. A DVD recordable is made of two thinner discs, which are held together by bonding glue. The ability of the bonding glue to resist breakdown in extreme conditions is a key part of the disc quality. W= e see many DVDs, which are damaged from impact on the side, where the impact separated the two discs, damaging the dye and reflective layer. Using a premium bonding glue can dramatically increase the performance of the discs in aging test. Tests have show the premium Verbatim product can again excee= d over 600 hours of aging, while some media with one particular bonding glue showed increased errors at outer areas. The final pieces of the quality picture are the polycarbonate & reflective layer. These parts of the disc can vary in thickness & density based on the manufacturers efforts to keep costs down. Even a tiny drop of saved plastic can save a lot over the production of millions of discs, so lower-priced manufacturers tend to use the minimum they can while staying within specs. Just like with CD-R using the better DVD Recordables has benefits that work for you from start to finish. ------------------------------ From: "Art Munson" Subject: FS: Sony 75ES Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 08:41:23 -0700 So much for my "fuzzy" brain cells, seems like another century:) Thanks!

I have Cool Edit 2000 and I have not found a great setting with the filters it has. If someone knows of a good setting on Cool Edit that would be very helpful too. Most of these filters remove too much which make the end result sound "tingly."

The picture shows a _blue_ faceplate. AFIK, SN #V001-#V054 were all made w/ red faceplate covers. The first 30 numbers are individuals, w/ variations in how they were manufactured, & in how they work w/ different mic impedances. Things standardize after #V030, & are primarily machine assembled after #V054. The blue faceplate started w/ #V055...

The sounds system at the Tweeter Center was cutting in and out. They had technical problems so there is a noticeable difference in sound at some parts during the show. When all the speakers worked, the sound quality was superb. The show was taped center stage, from the front of the lawn. Sting had two drummers, two keyboard players, two backup singers, one guitarist, and he played Bass. Synchronicity II still did not sound as full as it did when the trio of The Police played it. They did a cool improvisation during Roxanne. Sting’s voice sounded overall healthy. ------------------------------ From: Subject: Counting Crows Merriwehter Post 7.22.04 Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 17:47:50 -0400 Hi all, Went to the Crows show last night and had a small problem so the tape didnt come out to well.
