From the deepest of his mind, Greg MacLellan dare to say to Javier Colter: GM> pitch-shift will change the pitch of your voice so it's higher or GM> lower.. so ya, you basically sound different (though speech patterns GM> are the same so someone COULD reconize your voice). But it's harder to recognize who is it, right? :) JC>> That's great.. And what about the solo part? Can you do it? I JC>> don't. :( GM> for that i can always use live guitar :) Oh.. well... at least you know to play guitar.. :) I play drums.. E-mail : javiercolter@usa.net Email Cadorna: Cadorna@iname.com ...

That's what Denon says. I've seen one off those animals. What they do is sample the music and feed it through a digital effect that is supposed to sound like scratching. In reality it sounds artificial. bye .... Joe --- * Origin: F.A.T.C.

CH> Now that sounds interesting. :) But you have to be careful with the 90m and 120m types, there's some players, especially walkman type players, that don't like them very much. JK>> But recently there has been a huge price drop on CD-Rs over here. They JK>> have become cheaper than even DAT streamer tapes. CH> Has anyone tested those things against sun damage? In time I'd like to CH> get a writer and move some old cassette stuff over to a better storage CH> medium. You mean how a CD-R behaves when exposed to direct sunlight? Well, I wouldn't even consider to do that, but I would also not expose my DATs or diskettes to sunlight. All these melt relatively early. (For example when left in a cars windows in summer.) bye ....

Nothing, as far as I know. Everyone that still has old analog material is busy archiving it digitally on some kind of reliable storage media. But there have been some records recently released that claim to be remasters of some fairly old material. If your tapes are worth a lot, you might try to let them restaurate by a pro. bye ....

I've got a stumper for y'all to solve; at least it is stumping me... :) I recently purchased a 35" RCA picture tube-type television. I would like to have the option of getting video sound through my audio system. I ran a set of interconnects from the line output jacks on the TV to the line inputs of my preamp. No matter which input on the preamp (video, aux1, CD, etc.) I tried, a high level hum came from the speakers. As soon as the interconnect is removed from the preamp, the hum is gone. No matter which input is selected on the preamp, the hum is present. Then I tried the same thing using the line output jacks on the VCR to the preamp. Same Hum. Then I tried running the interconnects from the variable output jacks on the rear of the TV directly into my amplifier. Same Hum. Switching the internal speakers on the TV from "off" to "on" makes no difference. The TV and VCR work fine together and the sound from the TV itself is OK. The stereo system also works fine from any source; CD, Tape, turntable, etc., except when I try to tie in the video. Any Suggestions? Thanks. ...
