Is there enough interest to warrant posting tape info to the entire net? It would be possible to use a mailing list, but with all the sites that would have to pass the mail through, posting might be more effective if many people are interested. I know that this does not really fit into net.music, but theres no official net.dead. Here's my background: I bought a D6 with plans to patch into other peoples decks for the New Year's 83/84 concerts. I soon realized that I don't trust other people enough to depend on strangers for mikes, so I bought my own. After a little unpleasant episode with crowd noise, I bought a pair of shotguns too. I have sucessfully taped the following concerts: 12/{23,30,31}/83, 4/7/84, 6/{9,10,13,14,21,23,24,26,27}/84. I have taken the master tapes, and editted them into "sub-masters," all of whom use Dolby B, NR (the masters are in B or C) and I have tryed to even up the left/right balance, and bring up low signals to acceptable levels (the tapes done in C can be raised without fear of introducing too much tape noise). I haven't yet made the submasters of the last 5 concerts, I hope to have them done within a couple of weeks, each tape takes much time to do correctly. I keep a log of the information on line in the following format: Cal Expo, Sacramento CA 6-9-84 2xNak300/CP4->D6->ZX-C90 2 Iko Iko 2 Deal 197 Feel Like a Stranger 298 Loser 214 I Need a Miracle 404 Cassidy Bertha 489 Dupree's Diamond Blues 405 Playin' in the Band 575 C.C. Ryder China Doll Drums Iko damaged Severely, Dead had P.A. problems and I Jerry's mike was cutting in and out didn't keep good control of of Loser, so I fade into where he my levels, i.e. bass starts over saturation In addition to the concerts I have taped myself, I have a few others that I have traded. I don't keep quite as accurate notes on the other tapes, but I should have a list that at least gives some sort of sound quality rating. I would like to trade with people that have fairly high quality tapes. What sort of interest is out there? If it is marginal, the best bet might be to handle the whole thing through U.S.nail, since we will have to exchange tapes like that anyway. If that is the case, it might be nice to standardize list formats (although sound quality ratings will always vary).
