hey all, 
am soon heading off to tape an indoor/outdoor stage
festival, and am anticipating headache of working with
any less than 2 mic rigs...currently using an AT822
and checking to see if anyone has one gathering dust. 
must be in perfect working condition though cosmetics
not a big issue.
please reply off-list...other ATs or similarly
budget-priced rigs would be considered as well, though
i'm not looking for binaural.
thanks,
mikeL

I would stay away from using that "one button transfer" unless 
you're specifically trying to put 6 hours of audio on a DVD.

If you want to transfer your old VHS HiFi tapes, just play them, and 
record the audio on a DAT recorder, CD recorder, or go through the 
A>D on your DAT recorder to input the audio to a computer.  Any 
of these combinations can give you 44.1K, uncompressed PCM 
audio.

By comparison, the DVD will give you 48K, MP3-type compressed 
audio (actually Digital Dolby 2.0), in a format that will take some 
effort to rip the tracks and separate the audio from the blank video.

Also, beware of any DVD recording mode that goes over 6 hours, 
because this will likely reduce the audio quality as well as the 
picture.

Also, when you play the VHS tapes, you may well run into tracking 
problems.  You should be prepared to try playing them back on 
several different machines, and of course, to adjust the tracking 
manually if possible.  Keep in mind that if you adjust the tracking 
slightly "off", you will get continuous audio without static, but it will 
be the low-fi mono audio, not the hi-fi stereo audio, that you'll be 
hearing.

Looking for a sbm-1.  Would prefer a Doug Oade line stage modified
version, but a stock would do.  Thanks.

Just wondering if a kind DAT-head that owns an MD player that will play LP2 
mode would transfer a show for me. It's a clone of a master of George Lynch 
and Yngwie Malmsteen from
3-16-04 at Pop's in Sauget, IL. Would like just a raw optical out transfer. 
No need to track or anything. Obviously I will pay for media and postage. 
And whoever can do it can pick a few shows from my list as well.


Thanks, Danny
