Looking to trade for any Tracy Chapman live shows I don't have on CDR, DAT, 
TAPE or any other media.  Check my list out at the below link.

Alternatively - I am willing to buy any Tracy Chapman live show's that I 
dont currently have if anybody is willing to sell - You can name your price. 
  I am wanting to get more shows from Tracy's early tours in 1990, 1991, 
1992 or from the 1995 and 1996 tour.
I am willing to pay over $100 for any shows from the above years that I 
don't already have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Since I'm a little new to this, I'm hoping the list can validate my
findings.  The story:

I have a Sony D8, a pair of MXL 604's, and an M-Audio Audio Buddy
(just bought).  I hooked them up for the first time tonight with the
mics as overheads on drums to test that it all would work.  On the
first recording, I noticed considerable distortion (I'm using the line
in on the D8).  So, I experimented a bit with the levels...turning
them almost to zero on the Audio Buddy & below "4" on the D8.  This
alleviated most of the distortion with the exception of the low tom
and floor tom.  After reading this:

...and a few other posts, it looks like I need an attenuator.  Will
this do the trick?

I guess I should state my purpose.  I don't plan on recording drums
this way, but rather plan on putting together a rig to record in a few
weeks (http://www.wakarusa.com).

Thanks,

Michael

before ebay gets it...

I've got 2 decks I need to sell - both will need some time in the shop.

tascam da-p1 - purchased in 1996 and serviced/cleaned by pro-digital. I 
haven't started her up in years - but I believe that there were some 
transport issues (eating tapes). no power brick, but I do have a battery 
cable for an external 6v battery.  incl 2 internal batteries (with very 
few hours on them) Make Offer.

Sony D8 - purchased in 1996 and serviced/cleaned by pro-digital. I was 
running this without problem up until recently when it started eating 
tapes. Make Offer.

peace,
