That's rather ennoying, but then for the price...

My RTS 405's output is a barrier strip.

Hmmm. I think I have one Amphenol DPDT BNC switch, so if I take 
RCA-BNC adapters, that will cover switching the cartridge to either 
of the two preamps and then I can have output switching as well...

Tom: learn one filter at a time and remember the continuous noise 
filter has several different personalities in the drop-down box. I 
think it's three in DC6 and four in Live/Forensics.

Do you have an FFT analyzer? I use HPW Works and it saved my bacon on 
the Diana tapes. I was able to set something like two dozen notches 
at the odd frequencies that the "medical device" she was wearing 
during part of one interview was emitting. I tried looking for a 
fundamental for the harmonic filter to work, but no luck.

Oh and with the harmonic filter, put two in series in the multifilter 
so that you can filter out both odd and even harmonics.

It's not a simple program. I'm still learning it after having one or 
another version of it or the other, more ennoying (heck, you can have 
email, why not ennoyances) DART-Pro since 1998.

I've never burned a CD or done a final edit in DC6-I don't even know 
its capabilities in that arena. I also use it in the classic mode not 
the single file mode, 'cause too often I need to go back.

Cheers,

Richard
