| Onkyo TX-906 Robert McIntosh 16:45:49 |
| | I purchased an Onkyo TX-906 stereo receiver off of eBay - no manual or
remote control. I found a manual online but it does not answer the
problem to my dilemma.
How do I adjust the volume for the remote speakers?
It's got two sets of speakers labelled "Main" and "Remote" (what would
normally be labelled "A" and "B"). I can control the main set of
speakers with the master volume, but the remote speakers do not respond
to it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Robert

| Audio interfaces with robust preamps Colin Henein 11:30:30 |
| | Simple Question:
What reasonably priced audio interfaces (usb, usb2, or firewire) have
the most gain-boosting mic preamps?
Back Story:
I have just bought a Studio Projects LSD2 microphone. (It's a stereo
microphone with adjustable angle between 2 vertically coincident
condenser elements.) My plan is to use it to record live concerts using
mid-side or blumlein techniques. I had planned to get a firewire or USB
audio interface with microphone preamps and go mobile with my iBook for
recording.
The problem I have run into is that the audio interfaces I've tried
can't give me enough gain to get anything out of this microphone for
room recording. In order to get half-decent levels I have to crank the
gain up to at least 90%. Somewhere around 85% gain the interfaces I've
tried produce a lot of noise, and some high-pitched hum as well.
I've tested the mic on an old and bulky analog Yamaha mixing board that
does phantom power. It works fine, and the board's gain knob only needs
to be turned to about 50% to get great whole-room levels. No noise. No
hum. So it doesn't seem to be the microphone. It seems to be the
interface. I don't want to carry the bulky board to concerts though.
The two interfaces I've tried are the M-Audio Firewire 410 and the
PreSonus FireBox. The 410 was a poorly designed piece of crap with bad
software. The PreSonus was ok. Neither could boost the volume of the
microphone without maxing out their respective pre-amps and introducing
unacceptable amounts of noise.
Is there an interface out there that has onboard preamps with the power
to boost the LSD2 to the point that I can reliably use this as a room
mic? I really hadn't budgeted for a separate mic pre at this point.

| YOU MUST KNOW THIS MAN Guest 10:58:07 |
| | MUHAMMAD
(May peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him)
You may be an atheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to anyone of
the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a
Communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you
are, and no matter what your religious and political beliefs, personal
and social habits happen to be - YOU MUST STILL KNOW THIS MAN!
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth.
He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a
moral code, initiated numberless social and political reforms,
established a dynamic and powerful society to practice and represent
his teachings, and completely revolutionized the worlds of human
thought and action for all times to come.
HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD, peace and blessings of Almighty God be upon him
and he accomplished all these wonders in the unbelievably short span of
twenty-three years.
Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him was born in
Arabia on the 20th of August, in the year 570 of the Christian era, and
when he died after 63 years, the whole of the Arabian Peninsula had
changed from paganism and idol-worship to the worship of One God; from
tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion; from
drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety; from lawlessness and
anarchy to disciplined living; from utter moral bankruptcy to the
highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known
such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since!
The Encyclopedia Britannica calls him "the most successful of all
religious personalities of the world". Bernard Shaw said about him that
if Muhammad were alive today he would succeed in solving all those
problems which threaten to destroy human civilization in our times.
Thomas Carlysle was simply amazed as to how one man, single-handedly,
could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful
and civilized nation in less than two decades. Napoleon and Gandhi
never tired of dreaming of a society along the lines established by
this man in Arabia fourteen centuries ago.
Indeed no other human being ever accomplished so much, in such diverse
fields of human thought and behavior, in so limited a space of time, as
did Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him. He was a
religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, a political
thinker, a military genius, an administrative colossus, a faithful
friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all
in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of
these difficult departments of life.
The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one
sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields
such as religious thought or military leadership. None of the other
great leaders of the world ever combined in himself so many different
qualities to such an amazing level of perfection as did Muhammad, peace
and blessings of God Almighty be upon him.
The lives and teachings of other great personalities of the world are
shrouded in the mist of time. There is so much speculation about the
time and the place of their birth, the mode and style of their life,
the nature and detail of their teachings and the degree and measure of
their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity today to
reconstruct accurately and precisely the lives and teachings of those
men.
Not so this man Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon
him. Not only was he born in the fullest blaze of recorded history, but
every detail of his private and public life, of his actions and
utterances, has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to
our day. The authenticity of the information so preserved is vouched
for not only by faithful followers but also by unbiased critics and
open-minded scholars.
At the level of ideas there is no system of thought and belief-secular
or religious, social or political-which could surpass or equal ISLAAM-
the system which Muhammad peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon
him propounded. In a fast changing world, while other systems have
undergone profound transformations, Islaam alone has remained above all
change and mutation, and retained its original form for the past 1400
years. What is more, the positive changes that are taking place in the
world of human thought and behavior, truly and consistently reflect the
healthy influence of Islam in these areas. Further, it is not given to
the best of thinkers to put their ideas completely into practice, and
to see the seeds of their labors grow and bear fruit, in their own
lifetime. Except of course, Muhammad, peace and blessings of God
Almighty be upon him, who not only preached the most wonderful ideas
but also successfully translated each one of them into practice in his
own lifetime. At the time of his death his teachings were not mere
precepts and ideas straining for fulfillment, but had become the very
core of the life of tens of thousands of perfectly trained individuals,
each one of whom was a marvelous personification of everything that
Muhammad peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him taught and
stood for. At what other time or place and in relation to what other
political, social, religious system, philosophy or ideology-did the
world ever witness such a perfectly amazing phenomenon?
Indeed no other system or ideology secular or religious, social or
political, ancient or modern - could ever claim the distinction of
having been put into practice in its fullness and entirety EVEN ONCE in
this world, either before or after the death of its founder. Except of
course ISLAAM, the ideology preached by Muhammad, peace and blessings
of God Almighty be upon him which was established as a complete way of
life by the teacher himself, before he departed from this world.
History bears testimony to this fact and the greatest skeptics have no
option but to concede this point.
In spite of these amazing achievements and in spite of the countless
absolutely convincing and authentic miracles performed by him and the
phenomenal success which crowned his efforts, he did not for a moment
claim to be God or God's incarnation or Son - but only a human being
who was chosen and ordained by God to be a teacher of truth to man kind
and a complete model and pattern for their actions.
He was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a
noble and exalted mission-and his unique mission was to unite humanity
on the worship of ONE AND ONLY GOD and to teach them the way to honest
and upright living in accordance with the laws and commands of God. He
always described himself as A MESSENGER AND SERVANT OF GOD, and so
indeed every single action and movement of his proclaimed him to be.
A world which has not hesitated to raise to Divinity individuals whose
very lives and missions have been lost in legend and who historically
speaking did not accomplish half as much-or even one tenth-as was
accomplished by Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon
him should stop to take serious note of this remarkable man's claim to
be God's messenger to mankind.
Today after the lapse of some 1400 years the life and teachings of
Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him, have
survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolation. Today
they offer the same undying hope for treating mankind's many ills which
they did when Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be
upon him, was alive. This is our honest claim and this is the
inescapable conclusion forced upon us by a critical and unbiased study
of history.
The least YOU should do as a thinking, sensitive, concerned human being
is to stop for one brief moment and ask yourself: Could it be that
these statements, extraordinary and revolutionary as they sound, are
really true? Supposing they really are true, and you did not know this
man Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him or hear
about his teachings? Or did not know him well and intimately enough to
be able to benefit from his guidance and example? Isn't it time you
responded to this tremendous challenge and made some effort to know
him? It will not cost you anything but it may well prove to be the
beginning of a completely new era in your life.
Come, let us make a new discovery of the life of this wonderful man
Muhammad, peace and blessings of God Almighty be upon him the like of
whom never walked on this earth, and whose example and teachings can
change YOUR LIFE and OUR WORLD for the better. May God shower His
choicest blessings upon him!

| DigiTech JamMan Looper Software Guest 14:11:30 |
| | I purchased a JamMan a month ago and am having a great time with it,
but it is hard to manage the loops and keep track of where things are.
So, given that I write software for a living, I've written an app to
manage it through a PC. The app has tremendously enhanced the value of
the JamMan and I think others would appreciate it too.
I've got a number of features built-in, such as drag-and-drop between
the loop library and the device, custom naming of loops (not just
"Loop1," "Loop2," etc.), customization of all loop parameters from
on-screen (including Tempo in beats-per-minute), creation and updating
of the loop.xml and loop.wav files, etc. It works with multiple cards
and just makes things so much easier. If you're looking to set things
up for a performance, having a printed sheet cross-referencing loops
and titles is great, as well as being able to swap out libraries at
will.
I'm really interested in what other features you would want to see in
it. I'm going to have a version out for review in the next few weeks.

| oktava microphones opinions Marc Amsterdam 07:30:49 |
| | yesterday one of the muso's came up with a russian made oktava mk012.
Having only known the brand by fame i was pleased to have an
opportunity to try one
I compared them to a neumann KM140 and a KM184 and expectations were
above and beyond!! smaart measurement (which only gave an indication)
and then putting it in front of a nylon string acoustic guitar.
i was sold and used the oktava during show as well, it sounded
brilliant.
today i went to the oktava web site to check out prices and i was even
more stunned, $299.- for a three capsule microphone that easily stood
the comparison to a $1200.- neumann is just unimaginable.
So where is the catch i wonder? Iis it made in russian goelags without
the burden of paying employees? do they use child labour? are russian
employees this low paid?
the one issue i found on the web was that there are chinese made fakes
w/o serial number and more
but other than that i really like to order two or three pairs
so any opinions? pro/con
Cheers
Marc

| Re: How do I tell which A/D Converter is better - thanks for the
input Matthias 22:40:28 |
| | Dear group members,
in my first post I said, that this might be the right group to post to -
and it turned out, that it definitely IS.
Thanks for all your input on this issue (though more will follow during
the time I develop myself) - there is surely a lot of testing to be done
to finally figure out which converters to use.
At the moment I have the folling options / equipment for ADDA conversion
(and recording):
- ADAT (Blackface, 8 x 16-Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) - Recorder
- AKAI DR8 (8 x 16 Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) - Recorder
- AKAI A-DAM DR1200 (12 x 16-Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) recorder, said to
sound very 'analog' - which is good (my opinion)
Not really a ADDA-option since I cannot use the converters just to
do the conversion (like the ADAT) but have to record the converted
signals first on digital tape and then do the transfer to another
kind of digital storage - remains the question if I need the original
D/A converters to keep the 'analog' sound - I guess I DO need them
(loooong story ...)
- ESI WaMi Rack (4 x 20 Bit with up to 192 kHz) external ADDA
- KORG 1212 i/o (14 x 20 Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) - PCI
- 2 YAMAHA CBX-D3 (2 x 16-Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) - external ADDA
- 1 YAMAHA DMP7D - (with IFU 3 + 4, 8x 16 Bit with 44.1/48kHz) - mixer
Digital Stereo out
- 1 YAMAHA DMP7 (8 x 16 Bit with 44.1/48 kHz) - mixer
Analog stereo out (or digitally cascading to the DMP7D)
(I thought it might make sense to use the effect-section with the
ability to recall the parameters by MIDI)
- there are a couple of soundcards showing up, but I tend to prefer
external units to convert the signals
- in addition, there's an analog mixing console which I like to use
(my guess is, that it's semi-professionell - don't know, if anyone
heard about the UK company 'Platinum' and their LEVEL IV console)
I think it'll take some time to check all this to finally decide which
way to go for ADDA conversion to 'store' my original tracks on a
computer harddrive (any suggestions are welcome - smile)
All this equipment was pretty cheap thinking back to the times when a
16-track recorder (TASCAM-38) was still in the US$ 2500 range.
I'd like to combine the analog 'warmth' with the easyness of digital
storage - but that's maybe what a lot of people want who are interested
in music / recording.
Thanks again
Matthias

| Mixing desk info request Big Tim 08:54:13 |
| | Hi, I'm making the step up from basic home recording to a more
substantial setup. It's still very basic (I wouldn't even go as far as
to call it a studio) but I've been accumulating some fairly cheap gear
to get started with. The aim is to replace with better gear as time and
funds allow. It's good enough to get an idea of what I'm doing in a
learn-as-you-go kind of way.
Anyhoo, the main reason for this post is that I've managed to get my
hands on a Teac "Tascam series" M-15 desk. 24 channel, 8 bus, looks its
age but has been reasonably looked after and supposedly everything
works, although I haven't fully tested it yet. It's certainly been used
til very recently in a local recording studio (they got rid of because
they were upgrading).
However I'm struggling to find any info or a manual or anything about
this desk. The internet seems pretty sparse and I'm not sure where to
look for companies or organisations who might be able to help.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the desk, or any suggestions where I
might be able to get more info?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

| OT(?): Sony Wireless Headphones MDR-IF0230? Travis Pupkin 02:56:54 |
| | Hi,
I was rummaging around and discovered a pair of Sony Wireless Headphones
(MDR-IF0230) that I got packaged with something else I bought (most
likely my MiniDisc recorder) over a year ago and had since forgotten
about.
I actually have a use for them now, but I can't find my users manual, if
I ever got one.
Are these things supposed to come with a transmitter? Or do I have to
buy one separately? I did some cursory Google searches and couldn't find
a Sony brand transmitter made to work with this model (which is
suspiciously absent from the Sony web site). I may have the transmitter,
if it exists, around here somewhere, but have no idea what it would look
like.
Can anyone point me to a source of info about the type of transmitter
required for these to function?
Thanks.

| downloading SonicStage Andrewh 07:51:27 |

but I have been wondering if I am able to download the latest version of
Sonic Stage in advance of the purchase. Is there any reason why this won't
work?
I know it is a huge download - on my pitiful modem connection that runs an
average of 3 Kb/s it will take all night.
I kind of have in the back of my mind that Sony might manage to disable
the use of the HiMDRenderer trick described on this forum and I'd like to
get the software in place in advance should they do so.

| Belts For Aiwa F660 Cassette Dexk Stephen 18:27:28 |
| | I've had an Aiwa F660 cassette deck for many years (more than I'd care to
remember!) and it's just given up on playing cassettes.
So I took off the cover to find that my thoughts of a broken belt was
confirmed. It appears that there's two belts in the back of the drive unit
one from the motor (white) spindle to a pulley and another from this pulley
to another pulley which seems to drive the cassette in play mode. It's the
former belt that's broken and was found to be wrapped around the motor
spindle. Extracting it was an art as it's perished and sticking together
being very fragile in this state.
My question is firstly does anyone know of anywhere I can obtain replacement
belts (might as well do both at same time) and secondly how do I go about
changing them (what parts do I have to dismantle). I'm not a total novice at
repairing hi-fi and have the skills to attempt small jobs especially on old
equipment sure as this.
