Hell, if you can afford the price
go for the box set - Shine On
it's 8 albums plus an unreleased compilation
of early works.  Definitely worth it.

Re: MD: Fw: Vaio

2001-05-07 Thread Francisco J. Huerta


 For a better product all around, go here:

 http://www.apple.com/powerbook/

 There uses to be a direct comparison to a Vaio here, but I don't know if
 it's still there.

This is not an argument to start a fight. Nevertheless, I'd like to tell you
about my personal experience with a Mac. I (and a bunch of other computer
geeks and normal users) evaluated them on behalf of my company (30,000
users total) against PC laptops (I won't tell what brand, but it wouldn't
matter anyway).

The result was surprising to everyone. Nobody (not even the end users) liked
either the PowerBook, the iMac, or the G4s. At first it was love at first
sight. Then everyone noticed how they could do everything a PC did. Then
everyone had problems with memory management. Then we noticed that, in order
to make a Mac interact in a PC world, we had to buy hundreds of  in
extra software. And that users hated the interface. They did like the fancy
colors, though.

The death blow came when we received lots of complaints from users that
couldn't open the *.exe files they used to receive via e-mail, and they
hated it when we told them to fire up the Windows 98 emulator to run the
software. And also, to run all their database programs.

A Mac is a good, albeit uncompatible, out of standard (and in many cases out
of touch) computer. I would never, ever buy one for myself. And I gave it
the benefit of the doubt (I went into the test completely unbiased; in fact,
I wanted to have one at my desk because I needed some graphics design done
on it... and because of the fancy colors).

 Briefly, I would like to sumarize what I think are the roadblocks to MD
acceptance:

 With the general public (at least in the US):
 1) pre-recorded MDs are not generally available
 2) MD is not well advetised and equiopment is not
 generally available in stores

 With computer integration (in order of severity):
 1) MD creation from audio files is not automatic.  This has finally been
fixed
 by MDSPC2.EXE (not from Sony) and maybe by Mcrew (MDS-PC3 only).  But
 if you have any other recorder than these 2, you still must do it
manually.
 2) There is no flow control (handshake) for the digital audio data.
Windows
 does not cope well with this, causing clicks, pops and dropouts from time
to time.
 3) MD creation from the computer is at 1X, not high-speed.  At least 4-5X
should,
 in theory, be possible with current transport mechanisms.

 (2) and (3) could be solved simultaneously by an MD recorder the *native*
USB
 support, not an add-on USB converter.

Yes. if you can find it used, I would recommend the 20th-anniversary 
edition; it's a great remastering job.

Just buy it. It's a classic.

MD: SCMS and Microphone Recording

2001-05-07 Thread John Salomone


Ok gang, what's the deal here?  I've bootlegged several shows recently using 
my Aiwa AM-F70 and my Core Sound mics and battery box.  I use the line-in 
setting since I have the powered mics.  I guess this constitutes a digital 
input then?  I can only assume so since I can't make digital copies of the 
recordings (SCMS prevent).  This sucks.  So if I use the mic settings to 
record will it be a different story (i.e. it will be a SCMS-free recording)? 
  I guess the next question is what are my best SCMS stripping options?  I 
don't want to mess with building the elektor kit.  Must I wait until I get 
my new computer and do this on CD-R using the Sony PCS-1 link?  But doesn't 
this yield an anlog copy anyway, something I can already do with MD to MD.  
Help free me from some of this SCMS confusion.  Thanks.

No, it's analog, unless you were using a digitizing microphone (which for all
I know doesn't exist) or had an in-line ADC between the microphone and the
recorder.

Are you positive that SCMS is the reason?  Microphone input should be laid
down as SCMS-penultimate just like any other analog source digitized by the
recorder's on-board ADC.  The F70 doesn't have digital output; what other
unit are you playing the discs on to try to make a copy by digital transfer?
Maybe it's malfunctioning.  More likely your inability to copy has nothing to
do with SCMS.

| So if I use the mic settings to record will it be a different story (i.e.
| it will be a SCMS-free recording)?

It will be SCMS-penultimate.  Recordings on MD, DAT, CD, or DCC are never
SCMS-free; the bits are always there and they have to be set to some value
or other, whether that setting is to allow one generation of further copying
(which I prefer to call SCMS-penultimate), unlimited generations (SCMS-unlim-
ited), or no further copying (SCMS-final).  Computer sound files and analog
storage don't have SCMS information; when they are copied to a digital audio
format that implements SCMS, the SCMS bits have to be set somehow, usually to
penultimate.

If your computer has a soundcard with digital inputs, and you have an MD unit
with digital output, you could rip digitally to the computer.  Since computer
sound files do not support SCMS information, you'd avoid interference from
SCMS without needing to go analog.
