Yo screw all these trading rules. You'll find on this forum, the more you share, the more you'll receive. If you're willing to give us this show, you'll find lots of users on this forum more then willing to help you find stuff you're looking for. I ain't bother with all this trading nonsense, I share what I got with people, and now I could ask for practically anything and someone on here will help me out. Seriously I don't know why people care so much what kind of cord was used to connect your MD to your PC or whatever :roll: lol.


yup...i personally dont like trading either...its kind of like the haves and the have nots...most folks dont record shows...share what you got...there are so many places that where shit is uploaded freely for all...dimeadozen, etc

Best recordings right now are made with DAT recorders. Most populars are done by Sony, such as the PCM-M1 or the TCD-Dx series (the good old D3, the D7, D8, D10 or D100). You can record at 32 khz (the so-called LP mode), 44.1 (standard) or the highest 48 khz. The bad new is that you have to transfer eveything into digital mode on your pc (44.1 WAV audio, or resample to 44.1 if you've recorded on 32 or 48 khz).

Right now, technology allow to record directly into WAV 44.1 digital mode, with the portable hard disks, such as the good Nomad JB3 by Creative (very popular nowadays, but a bit big) or some others (Edirol series, the Ipaq, etc). With an USB cable you can transfer what you've taped into you hard drive in a few minutes. Not as full as a DAT, but excellent quality, though.

The cheapest are the mini discs, but they are not as good as a DAT or a portable HD. They usually miss some music ranges, and turn out with a somewhat muddy sound. So it is important to place yourself to pretty good (taping location). Sharp and Sony made good mini discs. Purist traders don't accept mini-disc tapes, as they consider them "inferior quality".

However, the important thing here are the mics, external mics. A cheap but good series are the Sony ECM (extremely popular in the 80s, they still are a favourite out there), or the Core Sound (both binaurals or cardioids). Another good and cheap brand can be Audio Technica (cardioid and hypercardioid), or the Sonic Studios series (the DSM6s are really popular, mostly on the US). A little more expensive are the Soundman OKM series (both rock and classic, binaurals, with a really full sound). If you have enough money, DPA are amazing, probably the best for stealth taping, as small as matches. Some brands modify their mics using DPA capsules (for example, the Core Sound High End Binaurals or CS HEB). Finally, there are professional mics (the large mics we all know from TV) whose capture of the sound is awesome, such as Schoeps, Sennheiser, Nakamichi or Neumann. However, they are really expensive.

All in all, you've to think what kind of mics you are using (binaurals or cardioids), as probably the most important thing for taping is where the hell you are located, so the hot spot is different if you are using cardioids or binaurals. Reputated tapers say there are three rules for taping "1.- location; 2.- location, and 3.- location". I have amazing recordings on my trading collection with Schoeps or Neumann mics (expensive) and some others with Sonic Studios or Core Sound Binaurals that are as good as the first. So you can see that taping location is probably the most important thing if you have a competitive taping gear.

Hope it helps.


i started out with md and some shit stereo sony mic but as i upgraded my equipment my recordings got better...if anyone has my saarbrucken recording from 2005...compare that to kaunas i just did...huuuuuge improvement and most of that due to equipment...experience tells me now where are the best spots to record...so yes location is the most important thing and not not having chatty assholes standing around you....mics are the next important...i use core sound stealth...there are other good mics out there but you pay for what you get...cardioid is best just so you dont pick up all that noise around you like an omni would do...also watch out for bass...it will kill a recording...or make it sound muddy...good editing software is a must also...never have i had a recording that did not require eq work or other tweeks like volume...i like soundforge

recorders now go high def with 96/24...no spinning discs but high speed high capacity flash memory or cards...and they are getting smaller

my next recorder
Code:
