 source for dubbing?

Assuming we are talking analogue copying, for those who need to handle
multiple in/out at the amplifier I can recommend QED audio products. Here's
the link to their page for 2-deck or 3-deck "tape deck" adapters
(http://www.qed.co.uk/switching/input.html).  I got one years ago to
switch in and out signals between amp, TV, VCR, cassette and reel-to-reel
(nostalgia - not!) (but only a 2-deck adapter so I still had to do some
occasional juggling).

Vivanco (website: http://www.vivanco.com/pgo.html) have a 4-way - look
under Audio | Audio/Video distribution. I expect others (Tandy? Maplin?)
have similar.

All the best,
John (pse excuse corporate verbals).

I used to have a 1GB Jaz drive. It died every two weeks. Whenever
I brought it back to the service center, I got a new one. After 5
times drive failure, the last one I have is made in Singapore
instead of Malaysia. I decided to sell it. I lost of a couple of
important files.

   The point is Iomega's Jaz and Zip drives suck.  :)
 
  Well I have a USB zip drive, and I've never had a problem
with it :)

 I've got a dead 2Gb Jazz disc (just says invalid, cannot
format).
 So far Iomega have ignored me, they cost $205 AUD, wonder if
 I can claim $40 USD.

 thinking i need a mixer or something that will allow me to selectively 
 switch the output between 3 differnt sources (DAT, CD, and MD) and send a 
 signal to a single input in either another digital recording unit, or at 
 least my stereo. know what i mean? for example: on the back would be 3 input 
 jacks, and 1 output jack. on the front would be a selector switch to allow 
 me to route one of the three sources to the target recording device. like an 
 A/B/C selector switch.

If they all have optical outputs, perhaps the simplest way to do this is
use two Toslink splitter/combiners.  Feed two sources into the first
splitter.  Feed the output of that splitter into one input on the second
splitter.  Feed the third source to the other input on the second
splitter.  Feed the output of the second splitter to your stereo input.

The only thing you have to watch is that only one of the sources is on
at any time.  Otherwise it won't work.

You'll find details about the Toslink splitters on our Web page.

I hope this helps!

MD: Elektor SCMS stripper help needed

2001-04-18 Thread Asplandg


Hi folks,

O.K., so I've built the Elektor SCMS stripper, and now the hard part - 
setting it up / getting it to work.  Have any of you got any info on how to 
set up the pots, and what the LEDs are supposed to indicate?
Failing that, I'm going to have to strain my brain and see if I can work it 
all out - ouch!

BTW, if any of you would like a decent scan of the unpopulated board, let me 
know.

Cheers, (with fingers crossed),

Greg.

What Gaz said, plus be sure to uncheck the silly "always reply to messages

should have been sent in plain text, and the very few that belong in HTML
should be answered in plain text.

LP2 sounds surprisingly good; listen for yourself on a floor demo model, or
on another person's machine, and reach your own conclusion.  LP4 is not so
great for music but more than adequate for spoken-word recordings.

In Outlook express - Tools - Options - send- "news sending format"
check plain text radio button and in"Plain text settings"  - Mime with

Yet I also use Netscape exclusively. Under OS/2 of course.

==END QUOTE==

There are some vendors who sell switch-boxes that route signals between two
or three recording devices and an amplifier. QED distribute a premium-grade
"two-deck" unit and a "three-deck" unit through most specialist hi-fi
stores - you may have to order the unit in.

But you can get a cheaper unit from Tandy / Radio Shack which handles three
recording devices e.g. a cassette deck, an MD deck and a CD burner. This one
uses four knob switches on the front - one for each deck and one for the
amplifier. For the switches that are associated with the decks, they select
between the other two decks or the amplifier while the one that is
associated with the amplifier selects between the amplifier's REC OUT
sockets or any of the three decks.

Some other accessory makers like Musicway may supply switch boxes that route
recording and playback signals with two or three tape decks.

With regards,

Simon Mackay

Seriously, let's not start this. Leave the browser wars offlist.  
Unless of course you made a new plugin that can control your MD
