I love the WT9624, especially the analog outputs. Getting high- quality, noise-free audio out of your computer is ESSENTIAL to properly editing/sweetening/remastering of music. I have the WT9624 analog output set to "+4 level" (a software adjustment) rather than -10, even though I'm feeding a normal home stereo, because this gives me another 14dB (approx) of s/n over any switching noise made by my P/C. I formerly used the card in a computer with a PCI video card, and there were some glitches. The manufacturer does not recommend this (after the fact). In my new computer, with an AGP video card (ie, not on the same bus as the Waveterminal card), the card works continuously. Regarding the question of "channel swapping." I have also noticed that audio imported from the WT9624 into Cool Edit Pro sometimes has the channels reversed. The analog playback from the WT control panel is correct but the audio imported into Cool Edit is reversed. The good news is, it's either reversed or it's not; it doesn't "flip" in the middle of a session! So if correct L/R is important to the recording, I look for one particular spot in the recording where the channels are really obvious, and compare that between the original and the imported data. If your channels are reversed, you can correct this with Cool Edit Pro using "Transform>Amplitude>Channel Mixer" and choose "Swap Left & Right" from the presets. Also, I've found the card's tech support, from www.egosys.net to be quite good, especially for a far-east company. While they never actually fixed any of my problems (oh well) at least they were very responsive. Unfortunately, it appears the WT9624 is a discontinued product, and none of the current PCI (card-based) models appear to have a digital input, so it looks like Ebay or Newsgroup if you want to acquire this card. On the other hand, they do make a USB-based product called the Waverterminal U24 which supports optical and coaxial in & out (and also pass-through conversion), as well as super-quality analog inputs and outputs. Yahoo Shopper found this device for $159. I have not tested it. Egosys also recommends using this device to make live recordings to a laptop, although I believe you would need an external mixer, mic pre-amp, or hot mikes such as CSBs (and this plus a laptop would be a pretty large rig for CSBs!) --Gary ------------------------------ From: Klay Anderson Subject: This is neat trick to turn your iPod into a portable HD recorder.

Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 09:41:28 -0400 I'm planning to record on Monday June 20th at the Beacon Theater. My preference is to record from 1st row loge with mikes mounted on the ledge if taping is allowed. Otherwise, I'm ok with stealthing from the orchestra. Any feedback from prior shows? Regards, Barry Glassberg ------------------------------ From: Steve Bennett Subject: Looking to trade Pink Floyd and related DAT's Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 10:39:58 -0400 I am getting into the realm of trading Pink Floyd DAT's. I have only two so far to offer in trade, but I do have a modest amount of PF shows in lossless SHN or FLAC. If anyone is interested, contact me for a list.
