Just as a note of common courtesy I'd say if you have a full blown rig
(stand and all) stay behind the SBD unless the board op says it is OK to be
in front. I know that is a pet peeve of some of the SBD ops and have
actually seen one person have to take down their rig cause they set up in
front of the board.
Stay Kind,
Dana

Hey all.... I've got 6 boxes of pre-recorded DAT's I'm looking to unload (10
tapes per box) for cost. The music is mostly Phish (some rare stuff), but
also includes SCI, Garaj Mahal, Santana and many others from the mid-90's
until now. I'll gladly pay for shipping on these and would love to get $25
box (again, including the shipping). These can be transferred, taped over,
added to your collection... whatever you prefer. I can sell one box at a
time, or all 6 together. Please lmk if you're interested or would like
specifics on the shows contained within. If you ask early, I can probably
mix and match.
Thanks...
Steve

Hey all... I'm selling my standalone burner as it doesn't really get any
use. I got it brand new directly from HHb last summer and have only used it
about 10 times since. It's in great shape and kept in a smoke-free house.
This can be added to a rack unit for studio work or hooked up directly to
your stereo and connected to a DAT player for on-the-fly transfers. It comes
with remote, AC cord, instruction book and removable rack-unit adapters.
Retail is around $549; I'll ship it to you for $350. Feel free to ask any
questions. I can send pictures if desired. Thanks.

Hello all! I recently upgraded and am looking to sell my AKGs. These
mics are excellent in terms of convenience (a breeze to
install/switch the various capsules), size (19mm diameter, flying the
caps with the active cables put them at 2 inches), and performance (a
taper favorite!). AND, since they're so tiny, they are ideal for
stealthing. If you've never seen or heard about the AKG 391/3
Bluelines, visit:
http://www.akg.com/products/powerslave,mynodeid,186,id,230,pid,230,_language,EN.html
A recording I made of Soulive can be found on the Internet Archive.
It is the #2 most downloaded Soulive show on that site. Link:
http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=15849
All of this equipment has been babied and is in excellent shape. I
will be selling the system in one of two ways.
Option A: Active system
Includes:
2 AKG c391b cardioid capsule/body condenser microphone systems
2 AKG MK 90/3 + H 98 "Active" cables and mounts
2 5/8 to 3/8 adapters (for mounts)
$980
Option B: Standard system
Includes:
2 AKG c391b cardioid capsule/body condenser microphone systems
2 15-foot Canare XLR cables w/ Neutrik connectors from Oade
2 Audio Technica AT8410a shock mounts
$760
Also for sale:
2 AKG ck93 hypercardioid capsules - $260

Colin brought up the point about dance floor placement in an e-mail to me.
I forget some venues are rowdier than others. With the exception of a
honky-tonk gig I did for a friend, all my live recordings have been at
classical recitals. The reception afterwards can be brutal - especially
when there is cheap box wine and divorcees. But no mosh pit for me.
But this does make me wonder, why would anyone take $3K Schoeps microphones
into such an environment? Surely, given the conditions and risk, a pair of
Audio Technica ATM33a's would do a fine job with a much lower exposure to
loss.

Greetings Datheads...I am happy to report I am the proud owner of the
Sound Devices 744T recorder. I just got it this week and taped 2
events with it. I can say only good things about it.
Having said that I now have the dilemma of what to do with the files
on the drive in respect to mixing and archiving. I have burned the
files to cd using toast but this won't allow me to make any
adjustments as far as track location or EQing. I see that Protools
and Logic are commonly used for this..(I use a mac G4/OSX). The 744
records wav and bmf files which can be dropped via firewire right
into an editing program...will one of these programs allow me to EQ
and tweak the mix without the need of an interface or soundcard? Is
there a best low cost option?
Also...when doing a 4 track recording what is the standard way of
archiving the files for future mixdown? I was thinking of storing
them as data on a DVD.
Thanks in advance for the help. Robert

Some off-list correspondence has helped me to detect my error and to
re-establish trust into my DAT equipment :
I had my M1 set to display the so-called R-time, which for whatever reason
does not reflect the actual recording time.
(To my own confusion, this R-time ran slower then the actual time on re-test
!)
Pressing the counter button a couple of times brings up A-time, which is
supposed to be an accurate reflection of the recording time, and to my great
relief also works accurately on my M1.
Sorry if I caused any confusion and unnecessary alarm and thank you for all
input I received.

Hey Live Music Fanatics:
I want to first thank all that responded to my plea for a working Beta
player to help drop down my PCM recordings. I very much appreciated the replies.
The death of my Beta player was the best thing to happen. I ended up finding the
original SL-2000 Beta Sony portable brand NEW on Ebay. In the box sealed for the
last 18 years. I also found a killer working Sony PCM-F1 processor. What a
difference in sound from the previous home units. I have not heard these
recordings sound this good in 18 years. This is a update for the few of you
wondering what I completed. A few classics for sure. Bruce Springsteen Kemper
and Soldiers Field, Supertramp 1985 Horizon...this show is amazing, Judas
Priest, Robin Trower, Frank Zappa 1984 a classic, Moody Blues The Present tour,
Jean Luc Ponty a EXC+ recording and a few more. They are all marked on my site.
