Hello

The preamp I listed for sale is not the Oade m248, but the m118.  The 
link I pasted shows right preamp, I just called it the wrong name....

 >>>
I still have the following equipment for sale.  It absolutely has to 
go!  Make me an offer.  If I get no responses it's going to ebay this
weekend.  I would rather it go to a taper but it has to go.....


OADE BROS.  AUDIO M118 MIC PRE / PHANTOM POWER SUPPLY -  this is the 
original killer mic pre I purcased from the Oades.  It has had a new 
battery installed and was used only a few times after the new battery 
was installed.  You can check these out at

After recording with a DAT recorder for the longest
time, I'm finally going to try and record a concert on
a minidisc player (MZ-N505 type-R). Since I feel like
I’m starting from scratch, Can anyone tell me how (if
at all) I can properly set my levels, and which mics
they recommend? (preferably cheep ones).

The venue I’m recording at is a small club/bar, and
I’m just worried that it will be bass overloaded due
to all the instruments on stage.

This code means that both heads (the A head and the B head) are 
returning essentially no signal.  This could mean an electronics 
problem, but most likely it just means very dirty heads.  This can 
happen in an instant if you play a tape with loose oxide on it, it 
doesn't mean you haven't taken care of your deck.

You need to clean the heads.  Most DAT head cleaning tapes are 
dry.  You should only run a dry tape about 10 seconds at a time, 
but you can do this more than once if the error count starts to go 
down  (ie, the numbers reduce from "9" to "5", for example).  But 
do not run the cleaning tape for a long time; you will simply wear 
down the heads and the problem could be somewhere else.

If you have a wet cleaning tape (very rare) or the expertise to clean 
the heads manually, of course, this will also fix the problem.

Hi all,
I am selling my mac as I need the money and don't use it enough to justify
having it. It has been well taken care of in a smoke free environment, it
also has a few extra's. I added a second 40 gig hard drive and added ram, I
believe it has 1.5 gig of ram currently. This is the last model of mac to be
able to boot in classic/OS9 which is nice for those who would not want to
run OSX. I was hoping to get $850 for it with the extra ram and hard drive.
I will also include the newest macOSX, which I can even preinstall for you.
I have been using a modified Edirol device to plug in my DAT for music
editing. If interested I would sell that as well. Below are some of the
basic specs of this mac, please send me an email if you are interested. I
will wait a few days before putting this up on e-bay... thanks all..
Tony

Can anyone recommend a pair of headphones for live mixing on location? 
Ideally something that will provide some type of isolation from the 
source sound. I've heard of the etymotics used in conjunction with a 
hearing protection headset but have never had any experience with this. 
Can anyone comment on this combination? I was also told to look at 
headphones drummers use for recording anyone have experience with these? 
I'd like to hear any advice or comments on brands or solutions. I've 
used sony 7506's before. I could tell I was getting signal but 
everything else was washed out by the source. Any diy solutions? I'd 
like to keep this within $200-300 range.
thank you, Adam

Etymotics by themselves provide up to 20dB of isolation.  I've never
tried them under hearing protection headsets; I'd expect that noise
cancelling headphones over them would be better.

Looking for any all people who might be hitting Modest Mouse on the
current tour.  If you are, please get in contact with me, as I will be
taping them as well.


Benjamin
