« on: July 01, 2003, 08:06:18 AM »
I was asked this question by my parents yesterday but it was Why do you want to start so it got me thinking. Why did you start taping? For me its the love of music and the ablitity to share it.

Why? Because I was tired of getting s#*t.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Nothing makes me smile more than walking out of a venue knowing I have a perfect copy in my bag that I am carrying on my shoulder.
I started patching with a PCM-M1.

Why did you start taping ?

Firstly as Metallica started touring last year, so I thought that was time to have a try, but I'm now taping several other bands (mostly metal ...). And if I don't get a proper record, there is now livemetallica.com ... (for instance, I broke my mic during Download Festival in UK. I was then plugging my earphones with entry level to max as a last resort, but I got a lot of noises ... Well, I didn't expect better result from cheap earphones anyway ::) )

First rig ?
First (and current ) rig is Sony ECM-179 + Sharp MD-MT 190. Yes, no batt box, no pre amp, there's certainly room for improvement, but I have likely learned a few things while lurking in the forum ...  ;)

I started taping because I only have memories of all the great bands that used to be around in the mid-90's in the area I live... The local music scene here has suffered big time in creative terms lately, and back in the day, bands used to put on awesome shows... all I have now are their studio cds... and memories.

I decided to begin taping when I heard the sound quality on a Digital video camera.  BUt I don't care about video as much.  So I bought a Sony 909A mic and a Sony MD.  been upgrading since.

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

I started taping for much the same reasons everyone's listed so far, the sheer joy of leaving the show and having a copy to listen to on the way out. Sort of like my own personal "Instant Live" production. ;) That and I was sick of shows I was at not getting taped, or at least not circulating.

My first rig was AKG c1000s>D8, been upgrading (i.e. spending more and more money) ever since.

I wanted to start tapin' shows so I could trade tapes (anolog cassetes) w/ traders who had the shit. Back in the day you could not score shows unless you had shows for trade. Most traders were power trippers and would not trade w/ low lifes unless they could gain something from you. It was all about your list and what you had and how fast you could send your tapes so on. My first rig was team rat shack stereo walkman w/ record button and a stereo mic w/ mini plug.

Somehow - the people I was working for in 1985 had a Sony Walkman that was similar to a D6 - but had built in mics and auto-level...

For whatever reason  - I snuck it in to a Stevie Ray Vaughn show at Constitution Hall in 85 -

I set it on the arm of my chair for second to get adjusted...and it fell - the batteries fell out and scattered everywhere...

So I got about 2 minutes of Voodoo Chile...

Why I did it - I don't know...

I think I was thinking of that episode of "What's Happenin'" where ReRun tried to bootleg the Doobie Brothers and gets caught...
