The levels are decent except for the audience applause between songs where the levels spike and clip. Should I leave them as is? My inclination is to lower the levels by 3 db's for the spiked sections. Thanks, Grape ------------------------------ From: "Jason C." Subject: Help EQing a show I taped Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 09:00:33 -0600 Hi all, I taped Modest Mouse 2/18/2002 (DAT) and am just now getting around to mastering it to disc. The problem I have is this: the levels are quite low but I can't normalize them without adding to an existing bass-distortion problem. Can this be filtered out? I was between mic setups at this point in time and was taping using a cheap set of ECMs with no battery box or bass filtration. I have never had this problem before or since so I assume that the bass roll-off absence is to blame for the distortion. Can anyone help me correct the levels and remove the distortion? Using a filter, maybe? I am using Sound Forge 8.0 and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason Coble jason.coble@comcast.net BWT: Above show on cdr when it's ready to first four people who ask. Thanks! ------------------------------ From: "Mike V." Subject: ISO: MMW 7.02.95 Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 00:59:48 -0500 Does anyone out there have this show? I'm looking for an upgrade from my copy that I currently have. Medeski, Martin and Wood July 02, 1995 Moe's Mo'roc'n Caf=E9 Seattle, WAV Source: DSBD > Cassette (unknown gen) > ? > DAT The cassette hiss on it is rather loud. I tried removing it but couldn't do so without destroying the highs too much. I'm content with it but of course would love an upgrade as this is a fantastic show. The main reason for my search of an upgrade is that there is an odd skip/jump at about 47:15 into the recording. Have tons of MMW stuff to trade/offer in return. TIA, Mike ------------------------------ From: "Rich Gomes" Subject: Brickwalled again? WTH? Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:42:49 -0400 Hoping someone here can help shed some light on this. I taped a show last weekend and with the following setup CSB > D8 15 ft from stack, line in, low sens., auto\music. And it brickwalled!!! I have used this setting a dozen times before at rock shows and they always come out perfect. The only difference is I am using a D8 instead of my old D7 (it consctantly reboots itself and I don't think it's worth the money to repair). So my questions are: Does the D8 have a higher sensitivity than the D7? Should I use an attenuator regardless of the sound source? How can I tell how much attenuation I will need? Will this still be an issue when I take the plunge into flash based recording? Is this attenuator sufficient? http://www.shoey.com/dat/xlr2rca.asp Thanks!

Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:44:47 -0400 Turns out I have this Thursday off so I was going to catch ZPZ here in Columbus that night. Anyone know if open taping is allowed? I don't care for stealthing much anymore. Either way, I'll check out the show, then hustle over to the one room indie movie house in my neighborhood for a midnight showing of the Simpsons Movie. Should be a good night. r. ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
