Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Bonnie,
    As far as Digi's philosophy... it's sort of rapacious toward the
users... Almost any other company will do intelligent upgrades as opposed to
the Digi way.
    Still, my PT (2.xx) is sweet, particularly when I use just the card
with Emagic's Logic Audio sequencer as the 'front end'!
    Awhile back I did some assembly for a film trailer on the Spectral
basic 4-trk system and found the actual layout and functions very similar
to the PT, tho the graphics differed a lot.  Spectral looked very
...squarish (not as in hip/square <G>), so I definitely knew that I was
on a DOS machine, as opposed to the rounder look of the Macs...
    Isn't Spectral going thru some major growth changes just now?  Changing
their name and so on?

assistant: Hi!
I am going to buy a P90 or P100 with enhanced video and sound abilities.
I am looking for a soundcard which supports wavetable and enables me to
put sampled sound onto synthesizer voices so that they can be played (like
the internal synthesized voices), edited and so on...
I understand this procedure is possible with the Soundblaster AWE 32.
But for my video and graphics card will both be from Miro, it would be
nice to buy the soundcard from the same company...
Does the Miro PCM-1 Pro support this feature mentioned above?
Any recommendations?
Bye. Ralph.

assistant: Help!  I hope I came to the right conference for it!
I am shopping for a home stereo system right now.  I have narrowed my
choice down to three systems, but I cannot seem to decide between them.
I went to every specialty store in town.  My choices now are:
Technics System for $1955
Kenwood System for $1610
and
Yamaha System for $2266
I will leave out the details, because all three systems are relatively
the same.  My problem is that I want to make sure I get a good brand name,
as well as the best price.  I saw a report stating that Yamaha was the
top system and that Technics and Kenwood were 10th and 11th.
What is some advice?  Should I spend the extra $600 on the best quality
system?  After all, I can talk the guy down when I show him the prices I
have from the other places.  They also have the best speaker warranty.
I have not made a large luxury purchase like this before, and I really
do not want to waste my money.  I would rather spend the extra $ for
a better system, but is $600 ridiculous?

    I am interested in both nets.  Anything Media, Music, or Writer oriented

    newspapers] and several working, non-working, and amateur musicians and
    writers [including screenplay writers and composers] as users.  We at
    Backwoods had intended from its inception that BACKWOODS would be

    it would escalate quite as fast [guess cause there isn't another one
    around this area, from what I have been told by several of my users who
    check out the outlying areas].  I had one new user today from Ohio, down
    here on vacation and had heard about the bbs from some of the users at

Depending on the type of noise reduction you are using, you may have to boost
the treble just a tad.  The bass may be exaggerated a bit, but as for that,
you just need some experience with your recorder because they do vary a
ittle

assistant: Hi everyone.  Got a slight question here.
How do you make a simple power supply for a microphone?  I have a Sony
Professional Walkman that has a small pair mic.  It will only work in
the Walkman and my (also Sony) vido camera.  On other equipment, the
signal is to faint to record.  A quick circuit diagram in ascii will
suffice.  Both the Walkman and the Vido camera say "plug in power" next
to the mic jack so I figure it is some kind of phantom power-type thing.
If I connect a lead to the mic jack it shows about 1.5 VDC on my
voltmeter in record mode.
Also does anyone have a circuit diagram for a transformer to convert
standard coax cable to 3 pin XLR?  I want to build one into a small
project-thingie.
