proper way to make discs for others
« on: January 21, 2007, 09:24:59 AM »
Just wondering what the proper way would be to make a disc for another taper. The archivist for a band I just taped wanted me to send him the wavs from the show. I put both sets (1 wav for each set, totaling 2 wavs) on a data dvd, but he said the that his dvd player wouldn't read the disc. Is there a better way than "data" to burn the files? Would flacs be better?

I'd send them on regular CDRs. That way if he just wants them to listen to, he can - or if he wants to move them to his PC for editing he can as well.

Right now nothing...in the past: Schoeps CMC6, AKG 480, AKG 460, AKG 414, MBHO 603a, Neumann KM100, ADK TL>Schoeps MK4, Schoeps MK2, Schoeps MK41, AKG ck61, AKG ck62, AKG ck63, Neumann AK40, Neumann AK50, MBHO ka200>Lunatec V2, Lunatec V3, Apogee Mini-Me, Oade M148, Oade M248, Sound Devices MP2, Sonosax SXM2>Sony (mod)SBM1, Apogee AD500>D7, D8, D100, M1, R1, R4, R09, iRiver HP120, Microtrack

Im not sure I would expect a DVD player to read a DATA DVD...

So you would burn them as a regular cd and not send the flac or wav files? How would he transfer/edit the files? Wouldn't he have to first use EAC to get the files to wavs?

Burn as DATA(shn,flac or wav)  on media of your choice (DVD or CD, doesnt matter) - insert disc in computer > Drag and Drop files to computer...

Sounds like you are confusing DATA and CD-Audio formats...

You did do it right here - It sounds like he should try to put the discs in his computer DVD drive and see if he can drag and drop the files...sounds like he tried to stick them in a standalone player...

When I send the artist or archivist a copy, I usually send a data dvd with all the flacs and a CD copy that they can listen to immediately in case they don't know how to deal with flacs.

You did the right thing.  Shouldn't a band's "archivist" know about flac/shn files?

Depends on the band. For example, one artist that I record has an archivist. But since the band isn't really taper friendly and they collect the material for the benefit of the artist, I would never think about sending them flac files. I know I would get a call from him asking what to do with them. Instead I send them both CDs (audio) and data DVDs with all files uncompressed. I think it has more to do with knowing what they expect.

Sending just the waves on a data disk is a good solution.  Nice way to dodge a technical support role.  ;D

Had to in this case since he needed the broadcast wav files that were timecoded. In this particular case one of the DVDs which had been verified prior to shipping it off to him was not usable on his end. So much for the theory that DVDs are a good storage medium... as a side note, this is one of the reasons the post houses in Hollywood still like to work with DVD-RAM discs. Although when I was there for a conference this past summer one of the post houses mentioned that they are getting all sorts of media in these days.
