Topic: any one still run analog?

[sml42]

I have lots of Dead/JGB recorded with that rig, though I usually used them on my own head in my hair (hrtf).

Would that make it a Hair Related Transfer Function?
(sorry, couldn't resist!)

There was a guy at Gathering of the Vibes two years ago that had a mono mic rig and a cassette deck. Basically he told me that he never traded and what he recorded was fine for him.

I didn't get a chance to listen to his stuff, but I have to tell you, it probably sounded as good (maybe better) than my Dickey Betts & Great Southern sounded... Man, I got a great tape of wind noise. ;-)

Yeah, those are some windy recordings!  we had a guy on etree yell at us and tell us to use windscreens for one set of that fest.  we told him that was how it sounded at the show.

recording to analog is better, just not to cassette :-)  hell if i could bring a 2" studder into the field youd see me there with it every show.

mmmmmmmmmm....

that would be so delicious!  maybe the White Stripes would let you bring one in.

[JAH]

yeah dood... I have ran a D6 a few times. anyone got a D3,D5,D6 they want to get rid of???

 I have a D5 ProII and a D6 left over...I may part w/ the 5 though (gotta love analog metering)...pm me, I saw it in the drawer last night..

When the security gaurds would ask what it was, we would say, "It's a Deadhead" and smile real wide. We were never refused, not once with this line

That awsome    "It's a DEADHEAD".....damn freeks

Somebody correct me if the alzheimers is setting in..  I used the D-5pro in the early 80s,  If I remember right the "m" had 1/4 inch mic inputs.  My pro had xlr.  Most tapers I knew on the Dead tours were running XL-II tapes.  later when the IIS came out I saw a lot of those.

There is no phantom power in those units but the input section is pretty clean, can take high loads and the metering is outstanding.  Some times I ran 451e when I could deal with the preamps and all, but there were a lot of Senn 421s on tour.

I am not sure what you gain from running the UA-5 unless it is just for the phantom power.  Bring lots of D-Cells and practice your tape flipping technique!

I've got a buddy in NYC who is anti-DAT for whatever reason. He made the jump right from a D5 to one of the Marantz CD burners...going on a year and a half now, I think. Another friend in Rhode Island goes AKG C1000's>D6 and has been for years.

that looks like a cool machine, but i cringe everytime watching rick sweat out the disc switch...

[bodegahwy]

Disc switching seems like a nice alternative to A/C/B/D tape switches on 45 minute sides with rewinding during the break.  let's see... looks like there is about 8-9 minutes left... do you think they will jump into China/Rider?...  shit!

[Idle Wind]

I remember a bunch of Uher Reel to Reel tapers - running at least two decks
5" reels at 7.5IPS you'd get, I don't know, about 15 minutes - they'd stagger
the starts and flips and reassemble them afterwards, splicing as needed.

as stated before, I think those masters would be superior to any DAT -
its just in the transfers that you run into trouble.

the last time I saw that was Oxford Plains Speedway, I think, 1988.

I was going through my taper closet and saw the old D6.  that was
stealthable with the old sony stereo mics, or good for patching line in...

[Tim]

good stuff guys....

[bodegahwy]

I have seen running D5 go for between $150 and $350 recently.  $350 seems quite high considering they went for around $500 street when new.  I have not noticed any difference between the various versions price-wise.  I would think that if you got one in pretty decent running condition that $200-250 is pretty fair.

[kcmoejoe]

wow! came across this one and couldn't believe it. you don't see this kind of source much nowadays.  so old-school with the source yet so new and high tech using the bit torrent. And what a great band for your "first" taping experience!
I guess whatever gets the job done right?

O.K. So this is my first recording ever so take it easy on me. A few mistakes were made. Unfortunately Fat Old Sun is cut at the end and Arnold Layne is not here.

The recorder stopped and I didnt notice it until it was to late. High hopes is cut at the end due to a tape change. Sorry nothing I can do about that.
