Welcome to my DAT / CDR trading list. I have been collecting and recording live music for over 15 years. My collection began on cassette. As the technology improved, DAT became my primary focus. Now, like most traders, I use CDR as a trading media.

I have attempted to rate the recordings to the best of my ability. I realize the rating of live performances is a subjective art. However, I have been trading live recordings for several years. I believe my ratings are fairly accurate. If you question my rating of a show, please let me know. You may change my mind about my rating of the recording.

My DAT masters are recorded with a Sony DTC-D7 or Sony DTC-D8. I am able to clone digitally with either deck and a Sony DTC-690. I am able to make CD-Rs as well with a Philips CDR 870. I have used the following microphones when making live masters:

• Sony ECM-959
• Sony ECM-939LT
• Sony ECM-717
• Sound Professional CMC-10 Hyper-Cardioids>Sound Professional Battery Box BPF-2
• Sound Professional CMC-9 Cardioids>Sound Professional Battery Box BPF-2

Please check eachsetlist for more specific microphone information.

I record all of my audience masters in the SP mode. I record the majority of my FM masters in the LP mode, unless otherwised noted. I prefer to trade in the SP mode, unless the master was recorded in the LP mode. Please feel free to list important information with your list such as type of equipment, quality of the recording, the tape speed, and generation of the DAT.

If there is a particular band you would like me to record in the future, please let me know. I will be happy to attend and record the performance.

I have a wide range of musical tastes. I am looking for recordings by the following artists: Better Than Ezra, Big Country, Counting Crows, Crowded House, Duran Duran, Neil Finn, Finn Brothers, Peter Gabriel, Gin Blossoms, Hootie and the Blowfish, Living Colour, Alanis Morisette, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., Soundgarden, Sting, 10,000 Maniacs, U2, and others.
