(Smashmark@aol.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Dan ONeill Subject: Liquidation of DATs and DATRax Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 09:18:08 -0800 (PST) I am a former FOB Schoeps taper that is interested in liquidating my DAT collection. I simply do not find myself listening to these recordings anymore, all of which are high-quality (mostly Grateful Dead but also including U2, Sting, Dylan, Van Morrison, Who, Prince, etc.). As such, I would like to sell the tapes at the going rate for media to someone who will enjoy them. I have compiled a list of the tapes with as much detail info as I have or can remember, which is summarized below and can be forwarded by email upon request. I am only interested in selling the entire collection of 125 tapes in one transaction. If you are interested, please send me an offer. Also, I have four DATRax storage cases that are in great/like-new condition. Please send me an offer if you are interested in these. Thanks! Dan dmo770@yahoo.com Here's a description of the DATRax: DATRax - DAT and MiniDisc Storage Racks. The high-impact molded plastic rack is perfect for smaller studios. Holds 40 DAT tapes or 80 MiniDiscs. Both can be conveniently wall mounted, either horizontally or vertically. Charcoal Grey. Dimensions:17 3/8" x 73/4" x 2" Here's a summary of my tapes: Allman Brothers 8/30/90 Allman Brothers 6/17/92 Bela Fleck 9/2/90 Bob Dylan 1/20/98 Bridge School Benefit 12/4/88 Chuck Mosbrook 5/14/92 Chuck Mosbrook ?

So obviously, my first question is what is everyone using today? I hear FLAC is the choice of most DAT-heads, but am not sure. I've used shn and have not had any troubles with it. My next, major question is, what is the best way to transfer from my DAT to the computer. I have a MIDIMAN interface from A Audio that I am using to patch into my computer from my Sony D5 using a patch cable from Core Sound. I have successfully transferred some music to my computer but have noticed that perhaps the transfers might not have been what the should be quailty-wise. Might be my imagination as I am a perfectionist. I guess my reasons for asking are because I recall a thread a while back that discussed this issue and if I'm not mistaken I recall something in regards to the transfer might not really be a true transfer but rather a conversion from digital to analog and back back, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of digital thing. So anyway, if anyone has any comments or suggestion I would appreciate them. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: Thomas Wulf Subject: Re: ipod compression choices Reply-To: Thomas Wulf Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 22:38:00 +0100 mp3 the dark side: imo this is a bright, shining side side esp. for travelling. ipod or not, do yourself the favour of encoding in vbr (variable bit rate). this is *much* better and/or *much* smaller than fixed bit rates. the ipod strangely can't do it on its own but any computer will do it and it will easily double your capacity.. the link is interesting but i think a bit outdated as vbr is not even mentioned there, yet. may the force be with you and enough power :):):) Thomas mailto:TaWulf@wulfware.de ------------------------------ From: avps Subject: how high up to place mics? Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 16:40:05 -0500 i taped a show out doors last summer. i used dpa4061's. these are onmi's. i put windscreens on them. there was no wind. i was in front of a stack about 70' away. i put the mics up 7' above head level. i still got mic phasing/whoosing like people were walking in front of the mics. the mics were line of site with the cabinets, no obstructions. there were people below them. any idea why i would not get a clean sound? thx avps@erols.com ------------------------------ From: Dan ONeill Subject: FS: Technics SVDA10 Dat Deck Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 18:04:26 -0800 (PST) I purchased this deck, the "home version of the Panasonic SV3700" (similar except for Pro features i.e. SCMS), in 1991. It has been intermittently and lightly used since 1993, so I've decided to put it up for sale. The deck has been well maintained and I have had no issues/problems with it. I can send pictures of the deck via email upon request. If you are interested, please email me an offer. Thanks! Dan dmo770@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo!

Check! > I'm making sure > that the Music are still cool with taping. I have a show coming up here > Thursday night. I had no idea The Music _were_ at one point cool with taping; had I known, I wouldn't have gone stealth (AT-853s > SPSB-6 (160 Hz bass roll-off) > JB3) last Thursday... Good-sounding and -looking band (singer's a dead ringer for, and sounds like, Robert Plant circa January 1969), but a bit of a one-trick pony. After 30 min of being pummelled, you wonder whether they're going to vary their shtick any. Kasabian were much more "musical." If I had to compare them to the mid-late 80s Brit-rock recyclers that they're, uh, recycling, I'd say The Music are The Cult to Kasabian's The Mission. Good luck with the recording! Watch your levels; both bands are LOUD. I pulled three different shows in the same venue over four nights last week; only in one instance was I required to drop my gain all the way to -6 dB. I'll let you guess which. ------------------------------ From: Mark Lavallee Subject: DAT Collection for sale Reply-To: Mark Lavallee Date: 28 Feb 05 07:48:03 -0800 Hi all, I'm retiring from trading, and selling off the remainder of my DATs. I'= ve traded with tons of great people over the years, and met a good bunch = of you too, a big thanks goes to everyone who's helped me out over the = years, it's been fun. The majority are on Maxell HS-4 60's and 90's, = there's a few other brands in there as well. I really haven't done much = trading over the last 6 years, nor do I find myself listening to too much = anymore. I'm letting everything go at a very low price, less than $1.50 a = tape. I have 665 tapes plus 28 sealed HS-4 90's and 16 HS-4 60's for a = total of 709 tapes, I'd like to get $1000 for the lot. Majority of my = stuff is Grateful Dead, but there are several other bands as well. If you'= d like a list please email me. I'd like this to all go to one person but = will consider breaking it up. If you're located in the Southern = California area and would like some DAT decks or DAT holders (they hold = 360 tapes I believe offhand) let me know. I'll be selling 2 or 3 of my DA-= 20's.
