Live Recording  / Video Trades

Current trade status:
I'm afraid I'm not doing trades at this time as I'm too busy to dedicate any time to it for a while and would like to spend the time EQ-ing some of the recent things I have recieved, archiving them and others for storage. (I have a backlog of stuff to do as long as my arm!!) Therefore my list is currently unavailble for download. I will make exceptions for any rare items and Creatures 2000 shows and SATB 2002 shows.


AUDIO INFO / PREFERENCES

(PLEASE read carefully,
as I will only trade under these circumstances due to past experiences)
L

  Y
These audio's are for TRADE ONLY
Y
on MD and CDR (consumer music or PC music discs) audio formats and I would prefer them recorded optically when possible.
PLEASE NOTE THAT CDRS / MDs SHOULD NOT BE RECORDED TOO HIGH WHEN RECORDED ANALOG, AS THIS LEADS TO DISTORTION ‘PIPS’ or 'BURNS' in the recording, ALWAYS AIM FOR MIDDLE VOLUME (-10/-06 dB) TO AVOID PEAKING INTO THE RED! Digital recorders do not have a buffer zone like tape machines where you can go into the RED and distortion's not always audible. With digital, it will just clip the RED and a 'click' will be heard.
Y
I prefer not to be sent tapes unless absolutely unavoidable.
Y
I do not accept blank trades (for cost of postage and blank cdrs sent to me etc...) except with long established friends.
Y
I will only send out after I have received (with new traders) to safe guard against being ripped off.
Y
Please do not write on the disc.

If all the above are taken into account and would like to trade, then please download list and email!. Thank You

QUALITY

My Mini Disc deck can also be used to correct the speed (PITCH) so that when an old tape has altered speed (be it too slow or fast but is good quality otherwise) I can correct this and if you have any that recordings that I don;t have and that need speed correction, just let me know! The recordings I have done this to are indicated by 'speed corrected'.
Y
Some recordings benefit from digital EQ and if a recording has 'improved' / EQ-ed next to it, this is why, although I keep EQ-ing to a minimum and only for very hissy  / rare recorings.

RARE TRADES / NO TRADES
If an item has rare trades only besides it, I will only trade for a similar item or of similar rarity, these will not be traded otherwise. No trade items are simply that except for extreme rare things or if I have permission from source to trade it for a particular item. Items marked as VB REF: are NOT available and are marked purely for my reference and appear on my private rarity list. Please do not ask for this as refusal may cause offence...sorry L
