TRADING AGAIN!
Chances of us being able to trade are best if:
1. You record your own shows and your master recordings are clearly identified on your list.
2. Your list includes the following information: exact date, venue, source, length, rating, any relevant comments. An informative list tends to be a good indicator of the quality of the discs one will produce.
3. I'll be more inclined to trade if you state that you understand the quality standards listed below.
4. If you initiated the trade, please agree to send first. I will send your requests as soon as I have verified that the following standards have been met (usually within 2 or 3 days). Sorry it has to be this way, but far too many people claim to have understood the standards below and still send discs with flaws.
ALL DISCS SENT TO ME MUST MEET THESE STANDARDS:
(I'm really picky about this)
Transitions between tracks MUST BE 100% SMOOTH and CONTINUOUS without any fadeouts, edits or gaps (no matter how miniscule). This includes a disc that was TAO at one time and subsequently glued back together (I can tell if this has happened by examining the WAV file). The only edits that are acceptable are those that occurred in the master recording such as edited commercials/dj chatter, pauses for encores or intermission, the end of a side of tape or an anomaly in the master recording. Discs with interruptions caused by crappy burning software/ equipment or a careless transfer to CDR are what I am trying to avoid here.
DISCS MUST NOT HAVE ANY POPS, CLICKS, TICKS OR OTHER DIGI-GLITCHES.
No mp3's or webcasts unless I agree to it first.
I do not want discs with all songs recorded as one long track. The majority of songs on the cd should be track-marked.
Please check your discs before sending them. 90% of problems occur at the track transitions, so focus your attention there. If there are problems with the discs you send me, I will require replacements. If you can't produce a flawless replacement and you have nothing else I'm interested in, you will have to tell me which one of your requests to cancel. Likewise, if I send you something you feel does not meet the above standards, and there was no mention of such an anomaly on my list, I will make it up to you.
CDR List
Analog List is here for reference only. My tapes are currently being stored away from home and access to them is difficult.
Setlists are now being added to the site. At present I only have a small fraction of the setlists for my collection online, but I am adding more whenever I find time. Any corrections or missing information is welcomed and appreciated.
