TRADE RULES
1) I do 3:1 trades for all you newbies who need it, because someone did it for me at one point. I will only do 3:1 for VIDEOs. You will send three VIDEOs along with return postage. I will keep two for myself and copy as much material as you can fit into one 2 hour video tape (see bottom for brands). Please remember that with 3:1 trades, I am doing YOU a favor! I will then send you your video as soon as I am finished-- I tend to get rather busy with all this stuff, so please be patient. Thank you.
2) I only trade for video tapes and CDRs. I will not trade for audio tapes, but if you can only make audio tapes, email me anyway... we can always work something out. REVIEW MY RATIO RULES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) Include set-lists and jewel cases with each CD, I will do the same. Do not write onto the actual CD though.
4) DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING THAT IS BAD QUALITY BECAUSE OF POOR COPYING EQUIPTMENT!!! Recently, I have recieved CDs from pr0teus@juno.com that were laiden with digital noise. I have also recieved discs that are the result of poor reading/ burning equiptment-- they have small glitches and pops in them. If you have any doubts about the quality of the CDs you are sending me, please let me know. If I recieve any discs with problems that are the result of the copy (not the master, but the copy), I will demand that you send me what I traded for it back plus the costs of shipping (both the first time and when I send it back). Not only does this upset me because I can't enjoy the show, I cannot trade it out in good conscience. Thus, I gain nothing through the transaction.
5) ELIMINATE ALL GAPS BETWEEN TRACKS!!! Do not send me anything that has the two second gaps between tracks (unless it is a compilation, but even then you must ask me first), or you will be subject to the same punishment described in rule number 4.
6) Never cut tracks off the CD if it doesnt fit without telling me. If something's too long, then use two discs and i'll send an extra one with the copy i make for you.
7) DONT RIP ME OFF! ! ! !
RATIOS
2 CDRs: 1 video
MEDIA
FOR VIDEOS:
USE ONLY MAXELL GOLD (GOLD HGX-120)
TDK DIGITAL SOURCE PERFORMANCE (TDK DSP) (I will use these)
SONY HIGH GRADE
FOR CD-Rs I prefer:
TDK (I use these... they are very high quality)
Sony
Verbatim (probably the best CD-Rs on the market)
CDRs must be high-quality. Anything that is a blank CDR that I can see through is NOT high quality, along with some other name brand discs (enquire to me). If i feel that you cheated me in the quality of the tape and/or CDR you used, i will ask that you resend with a higher quality audio device plus the cost of me shipping the shitty one back to you..
If you want to trade, or if you have ANY questions....
