He's got some BB King shows I need, that nobody has. His website is defunct. any help would be great. thanks George Rue ------------------------------ From: Jim Subject: How to identify pre-emphasized recordings? Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2005 14:25:44 -0500 (EST) I must comfess that until these recent pre-emphasis/DAT>WAV discussions I have simply transferred my recordings to .wav (via Delta DIO 2496) and burned away. I have searched the web and the manual for my M1 and have been unable to find any info regarding when pre-emphasis is applied. Is this an option that is only available on certain recorders, or only when recording at 48 kHz, or all DAT recordings, or what?!? Also, is there any way to know if downloaded .shn/.flac files need the pre-emphasis flag set when burning to audio CD? Thanks for any info, Jim ------------------------------ From: shane b Subject: Radio KCRW 11.15am Tuesday, March 22, 2005.

Most dat decks (including the M1) will copy pre-emphasis on the digital in, but not create it on analog in. The Casio DA-1 always wrote pre-emphasis on recording from analog. (It also had only 15 bits of accuracy; it's a _very_ obsolete deck.) A few other decks and A/D converters allowed the user to set emphasis. Some PCM (pre-dat) devices used emphasis. > Also, is there any way to know if downloaded .shn/.flac files need the > pre-emphasis flag set when burning to audio CD? If that isn't in the .txt file very prominently, somebody needs to get flamed. Seth ------------------------------ From: "William Schofield, III" Subject: Anyone going to see Interpol in Boston on Wednesday? Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2005 06:29:29 -0500 Still looking for anyone who might be going to see Interpol in Boston this Wednesday. I'm trying to find tapers for this show. Thanks for your time! B ------------------------------ From: "William Schofield, III" Subject: Anyone going to see Bloc Party on April 5th in Boston? Date: Mon, 07 Mar 2005 06:34:13 -0500 I'm looking for anyone who plans on attending and taping the Bloc Party show in Boston on April 5th. Boston tapers unite!! B ------------------------------ From: "Vernon Webb" Subject: CoolEdit Pro - Cassette > DAT > WAV transfer Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 07:47:05 -0500 OK, so now I have successfully transferred a DAT to the PC. The DAT is actually a copy of a master cassette recording of a show that a friend recorded. I have transferred it to DAT VIA the normal processes. However, if you turn the sound up, naturally you heat tape hiss. CoolEdit Pro has a setting that is called "Noise Reduction" and another called "Hiss Reduction". More than likely I know what the answer to this is, but I figured let me check anyway: should I use either of these options? I would think that the "Hiss Reduction" would be a good option, however I know that many people are always crying to leave the show as close to original as possible. What are your thoughts? Vern ------------------------------ From: "john e. bogus" Subject: stealth report needed: Starland Ballroom Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 09:00:53 -0500 Having never been to this venue before, I need a stealth report for the Starland Ballroom in Sayerville,NJ. Can anyone tell me what it will take to get through the door, security procedures inside the venue, etc? If it makes any difference, it will be a heavy metal type of show (see my next post if you're curious). Need to know by Wednesday afternoon.....any help would be much appreciated! Yours Truly, john e. bogus ------------------------------ From: "john e. bogus" Subject: more shows worth taping Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 09:00:56 -0500 Hidden Hand is also about to tour soon, with Mastodon and Burning Brides. This tour will be through just about everywhere except for the northwest and east coast. Headliners Mastodon have been making quite a buzz as of late, but what I would really be looking for are the Hidden Hand sets. Hidden Hand would probably best be compared to sort of a cross between Black Sabbath and Motorhead, if you can imagine Tony Iommi and Lemmy on the same stage. This should be a taping allowed show, if you run into problems with venue staff, Wino of Hidden Hand should be able to verify that taping (both audio and video) IS allowed. To the best of my knowledge, Mastodon also allows taping. I don't really know much of anything about Burning Brides, but I've been told that they're a 'Sabbath / MC5 / Stooges sort of band.....this should be a GREAT triple bill for those of you here who enjoy old-school heavy rock! Tourdates can be found here: http://www.thehiddenhand.com/shows.php I'd really like to hear from anyone who tapes any of these shows....I've traded or corresponded before with some of you who are in about half of the places (NO, TX, AZ, CA, WI, and IL come to mind....do I have to email you guys personally to convince you how worthwhile this is?) this tour will hit, so I know you're out there.....the shows should be reasonably priced, so don't miss out! Yours Truly, john e. bogus ------------------------------ From: "john e. bogus" Subject: Motorhead tourdates Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 09:00:54 -0500 For those of you who may care but do not yet know, Motorhead is about to start their 30th anniversary tour.....the dates and locations can be found here: http://www.imotorhead.com/index2.htm I've got tix for the first show of the tour in NJ.....anyone else plan on taping on this tour?
