Mark Pearce Assesses Sound Quality

It has been requested that I talk about the sound quality of some of the CDs that I own. So here it is. I grabbed a handful from my CD rack of 90s-Noughties titles. I also have a shelf full from this category, so what you see is a minute sample from my collection. I make 2 piles: Good quality and bad quality. Here I am only assessing what my ears can tolerate. I have not made scientific waveforms, nor are there any measurements against which I judge. The criteria is merely - listenable or not! In fact, my Elliott Smith Either/Or CD sounds like a good deal of it was made on a 4 track cassette recorder, but the sound quality is beautiful - smooth, intimate and very dynamic. Enjoy it, if only for a glimpse of my musical taste besides ABBA. Incidentally those wishing to learn about the quality of ABBA's remasters are directed to Mozpiano2's excellent "Rudolf Ondrich discusses the ABBA remasters" videos.

Mini DV Players

!±8± Mini DV Players

Mini DV players are available with many different features. Sometimes the technical terminology becomes a little confusing for the layperson. You may have doubts regarding the compatibility of Mini DV cassettes with certain players, or what kind of editing features are available with a particular player. It is best to research extensively before purchasing a Mini DV player, and if you have doubts, you can always get them clarified at the DV player retail store. Also, many websites offer advise on what is the best Mini DV player to suit to your needs.

The Mini DV players mostly double as recorders. They are available for both amateur and professional use. For professionals like wedding videographers and filmmakers, JVC has come up with many innovative players. The JVC HR DVS 3U, for example, is a player as well as recording system. It is very convenient to use, since the Mini DV cassette can be directly inserted into and played by the DV player. There is no need for connecting the camcorder to a VCR using a jumble of confusing wires. It has good editing features, and is capable of converting analog signals to digital. JVC's HR DV S 3, on the other hand, is a double deck Mini DV VCR which also converts Mini DV to S-VHS format after editing, apart from being a player and recorder compatible with almost all Mini DV cassettes.

For amateur use, the Panasonic Professional DV Proline offers many features like a high sound to noise ratio, four video heads, timer programming, and a clear image quality. This device is meant simply for playing and not for recording purposes. Many users have mentioned problems like the absence of remote control or parental locking mechanism, as well as the lack of built in monitors, which means the player needs to be connected to a VCR, but this player is good for amateur or home use.

With many brands of Mini DV players flooding the market, there is always one out there suited to your needs. With a little patient research, you will be able to locate the best Mini DV player in terms of features, size, recording/playback quality, and price.

Cantè J'euv - Bra 8 Aprile 1979 - Parte 6-6

Cantè J'euv - Bra 8 Aprile 1979 - ITALIANO: Dopo più di 31 anni, ecco uno dei miei ricordi personali, di una giornata passata a Bra (provincia di Cuneo), per assistere dal vivo alla Rassegna Internazionale di Musica Folk "Cantè J'euv". Questa manifestazione ha origini antichissime, è legata alla Pasqua e quindi alle uova. La questua delle uova è una tradizione che prosegue fino a noi dalla notte dei tempi e fa parte delle usanze contadine popolari. I concerti si tennero durante le giornate del 5, 6, 7 e 8 Aprile e videro esibirsi gruppi italiani e di svariata provenienza. Bretoni, Irlandesi eccetera. Anche gli strumenti usati, hanno quasi tutti antiche origini e le musiche sono per la maggior parte finalizzate al ballo e all'aggregazione. Nel contempo, l'ambiente primaverile festoso, favorisce gli incontri dei giovani con nuovi amori che nascono. Andai alla manifestazione (su una Fiat 500) con un'Amico che ne era venuto a conoscenza, e fu lui a scattare una dozzina di fotografie. Io portai con me un registratore di musicassette Philips mono, (non erano ancora i tempi delle telecamere!) e passai tutto il tempo, fino a tarda sera, a registrare. Nove anni dopo, trasferii le registrazioni su CD, filtrando per quel che potevo, tramite un equalizzatore da chitarra a 10 bande, i suoni zeppi di rumori e fruscii. Solo alcune delle fotografie in questo video, fanno parte di quelle scattate al concerto. Sono state posizionate in modo che siano relative alla musica in riproduzione ...
