As I mentioned before, I was told when I called the club in DC that only handheld cassette recording was allowed, they didn't mention anything about soundboard access. Someone else I know just told me that they were turned away with their DAT deck at the show, so at the show here definately no DAT recording was allowed, board or audience, and this is a club that normally goes along with whatever the band or their management tells them, and does allow me to tape most shows I ask about. Rob Why don't you come up and surf me sometime? --> http://www.patriot.net/users/rob ------------------------------ From: Reynaud Jonathan Subject: rig update: DPA 4061 or other...? Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 20:50:26 +0200 (CEST) Hi, I'm willing to change my microphone (Soundman OKM II R for the moment) and maybe someone could help me for my new rig..? I hesitate to buy DPA's 4061 but do you there are better mics for such price and such size? By the way is there a real difference between DPA 4601 + MPS 6030 and Core Sound's HEB (4061 + Core Sound battery)? I noticed that the DPA's 4061 has good drums and voice in comparison to many many mics (that's what I like), but it seems to lack the trebles a little bit (cymbals notably...)...I can't be sure, I don't have many "DPA-made" recordings, but that's it for the few ones I have.

I spoke to several dat owners before I bought some, and maybe it's just who I talked to, but all of them said they used the same tapes, sony DG90P tapes. When I called a vendor who I had dealt with several times prior for CD-R media, they told me the Sony DG 60 and 90P's are the most widely used DAT tapes. More Sony DGxxP tapes are sold for DAT use, than all other tapes combined, was what I was told. Sony probably reccomendsAudio DT tapes because they sell them, as do other DAT manufacturers, of they sell Sony tapes with their brand on them. If there is some truth to the story that Data Tapes are rougher than audio tapes, the money saved with Data Tapes will pay for many sets of heads. Keith >Are data tapes rougher than audio dats on your >heads? i know the differences between 60m and 90m >tapes, I am not referring to that. But it seems that >all the manufacturers recommend only audio tapes, not >to use data tapes. And of course maxell says never to >use data tapes in my dat deck. But I know I have heard >the data tapes are actually better, lower errors. > ------------------------------ From: cclaymont@mindspring.com Subject: Aiwa/HHB DAT service recommendation?
