I just had a question, Donald....I was just curious as to if you have done any
type of DJing or anything in the past, I mean, have you DJed for any parties,
have you worked for your school radio station or anything like that?? I under-
stand that you want to blow up, but I know that it would look nice to have a
reasonable pedigree to flash...or are you just a more or less amateur who just
is interested in music and DJing and wants to get into it...you sound like you
know what youre talking about, but Im hoping you pretty much know what youre
doing before you drop cash on those things youre listing...Just curious, do 
you have a job, b?? Seeing how hard times are, I think youre safer not rely-
ing on some sugar daddy to adopt you...you have a solid background in computers
at least get a *temporary* job, earn that money, youre gonna need it to pay 
for the studio schooling(If you really *do* need it), and your equipment..

                                                       Peace, and good luck

I don't think that's the mic element the original posting meant, but
I'll second that it's a great mic for the money.  I have two of the
PZMs, which are made by Crown and have the same element as one of
their low-end mics that sells for much more than the rat shack
version, and I've gotten good results recording my band's practices
using two of them as ambient room mics, directly into a stereo
cassette recorder.  I've never used them specifically for drums, but
I read an article some time ago about someone who had good success
using them this way.  One approach I remember was having the drummer
tape the mic to his/her chest, though I've never tried it.  I know
that there were several postings awhile back about bypassing the
transformer in the mic and using higher-voltage batteries, but I've
just used the approach mentioned above: replace the AA battery with
two camera batteries, which I believe brings the voltage up to 12
volts.  This is far superior to using the AA battery, and because it
requires no modification of the mic, won't void the warranty.  The
camera batteries are readily available (I buy them at Perry Drugs
for about $3 each).  The instruction manual that comes with the PZM
mic tells which batteries to use.

Good luck!

I think I have in mind what I want (as far as sound) ...

Remember, I like to make my own sounds and recreate new sounds  
from old sounds ...

   A KORG Wavestation
   An EPS-16 Sampler (or two)
   Maybe an SY77 (or *sigh* an SY99)
   Maybe the World Music Proteus and a Procussion
   Processing up the wazoo (I like to be classic AND creative)
   A small, simple, but nice PHAT-sounding monitor/mixing system
   An Atari ST (or *sigh* TT) with a whole helluva lot of Gb
     Sound Designer
     C-LAB Notator
   Any old DAT machine (yuk, I like analog) (A-DAT???)

Any recommendations?  I've been away for a while, so I don't  
know what's what (though, I still think this stuff sounds crazy  
PHAT, old or not).

Any rich sugar daddies out there want a new son?  (I'm willing)

I have a Peavy Deuce guitar amp, not sure of the year, that has some problems.
Occasionally the sound will just cut out, regardless of which channel I am
on.  Sometimes wiggling the volume knobs will bring it back, and sometimes
just plain hitting it will work, but not always.  The 4 tubes are brand new,
so I don't think they are the problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I play with my fingers but use a pick when I want that hard attack
(without busting my fingers in the process). Although I think that
fingers offer more contol and better overall sound I am not biased

Uh, just FYI...if you're going to post about "rare CDs" to this or any other
newsgroup that you're trying to find info about, it would be really, _really_
helpful if you'd simply state in the posting _which_ rare CDs (or any other

Yes, it'll be like the artificial animals in Blade Runner ("You think I

No it is not a sin to use a pick, or any other technique.  The sin is
to tell someone else they should use a different technique because you
can't record them properly the way they are playing it.

Just wondering where you use this contract. A good portion of the bars
around here hire bands on a verbal contract basis, and I'd think that
after doing so for several years, they might not take to the idea of a
contract. Do you do a lot of bar gigs, as opposed to say doing office
parties or outdoor concerts?

   A friend of mine recently bought out the remaining stock
  of an out of business Public Address System manufacturer.
  He has available for immediate sale:

       3 - 40 watt 5 channel mixer/amplifiers

       1 - 100 watt 5 channel mixer/amplifier


  Features:

      - bridging input and output circuits
      - RF bypassing throughout
      - load line output limiting
      - short circuit transient proof
      - 4 and 8ohm transformerless output
      - 25 & 70V transformer coupled output
      - 4Hi-Z,Lo-Z mic or aux inputs
      - Mag. Phono/Aux Input
      - Master Volume, Bass & Treble controls



  I have the full manufacturer specs at my desk, I tried
  one with the signal from our music computer and the sound
  is real crisp, I think the full output distortion is less
  than 0.2%. I was thinking of using the one I have for a
  power amp to boost the signal from my 20 watt tube guitar
  amp.

  Asking prices are :

         $150.00 for the 100 Watt, and $100.00 each for the
         40 Watters.

  Operators are standing by! Well maybe if their not too busy doing     
  real work!

I guess I'm just not too familiar with the auto-locator for the MS-16.
last a-l I used (last night) saw a lot of use shuttling the transport 
back & forth (inaccurately) and punching in, eg the common druggery of
overdubs.  The LRC on the ADAT does the job just as well.  MIDI time 
code would be of great use with sequencers, but doesn't the ADAT support
it stock (or at least MMC)?  If it doesn't, then I retract my comments 
above. 

Regardless, the BRC does a heck of a lot more than your garden variety 
auto-locator.
