The Titanic Terrarium

This new section was designed for all the discussion regarding the organization and taping of shows. My idea behind it is to allow the tapers on the base to stay in closer touch with each other, and better manage taping duties when it comes to recording shows; a place to bounce ideas off one another and streamline efforts.

The forum is only viewable by members, meaning the public or general users shouldn't even know its here. To become a member you've be added individually. The way I see it working is that the forum has to promote the members. Basically just send me a PM if there's somebody who should be in this forum.

It's operation is up in the air. Post your suggestions here. I have no idea if this forum is going to help or not, or just be ignored, but theres no harm in testing it out.

A list of who is already added would be a good start.

You can get the names by hitting the "Usergroups" link up top, then selecting the Tapers group.

Hey how about that thanks srb.

Chris don't tape he quit! Plus he's just a pain in the ass.

I guess someone should let Steve(dreyfuss) in on the fun.

Here is the list. I want it to be as comprehensive as possible so give me any and all names of those to be included. It will probably work best if this forum doesn't act like a "Taper Club" but just a venue for anyone involved with the taping, past, present or future to collaborate. I know everyone I added so far probably doesn't need this forum, you've all done well this far without it. Myself, I'm just going to start taping and I know I could benefit from more experienced tapers.

Anyone let me know if I step over any boundaries, I won't be offended if I'm just being ignorant.

All I have to say is
'Bauer is not a taper'!

Dryfuss, he just upgraded to cassette and a radio shack condenser mike, so I guess he is a taper now!

Hey Steve,do the batteries run out just as much on the cassette recorder?
if not nice upgrade buddy.

I don't care who you are, thats funny!

I know my stuff aint the best but a good idea for this forum is mabye to post links to what kind of taping equipment each of youse use. That way the rest of us can see what it is exactly that your using.
I for one would buy a taping system if I knew exactly what im looking for and what it entails.

OK Wesley - here's what I've got:

Audio
Church Audio CA-11 (Omnis and Cards) Microphones
Church Audio CA-9100 Preamp
Church Audio eBay Store
Something similar to this:


Tascam DR-1 Recorder



Video
Sony DCR-SR100

Panasonic PVDV102K

Been meaning to get in touch with you Chris. Any idea if we will be able to tape at Centre In The Square and Massey Hall? Im looking to get a better Video camera as well.Time to make the jump to HD.

I'd say 100% no to video at both, and unlikely for audio. Union rules seem to trump band rules.

I want to get some Church Audio mics still. I ran Marks during the Wintersleep tour in December and really liked them.

I got a package deal through taperssection.com - Chris Church posts deals there quite often.

I liked the price, they sound nice, and he's local to me if there's a problem.
