Is it legal by dbdra rules and reg's to run an an 8 track tape,if even for a spectator display.
I have the equipment to record my bass tracks to 8 Track tape and would love to see what it does..
Just think about it...CLICK....BOOM!!...REEEEEP!!.......LOL
I have looked thru termpro.com and found no mention of it.
I would like to get one run at least on a mic to see what this Frankenstien creation of mine can really do...
Does any one know?

I would think it is not legal as you do not have the ability to play a sanctioned, pre-recorded disc for accuracy. During the recording to 8 track, there could have been some modification in the original recording, which I don't think they would allow.

Yes you can.

Still sort of confused on it...but first show I can make,I will ask if its possible....

Now tell me....who wouldn't like to see that?

Think about it....

I may need some backing on this to get a run in....thats all I am looking for.......one run....

If there is anyone out there who judges,these shows,would you get back to me on what you would say to such an idea...Thanks Much!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Does DBdrag not make you use a sanctioned disc? Or can you just play anything you want? Pardon my ignorance, but I am just a sq guy goin out on a limb here.
Iasca requires you to use their disc for all comps. It can't be a copy or modified. I would have thought DBdrag would have been the same.

For 3x events you need to use a sanctioned disc, maybe for 2x as well.. but for 1x you can use whatever you want.. I guess it all depends on the judges too.. some might not care..

At this point, it shouldn't matter what source you are using, since the new TermPro meter monitors frequency as much as it does amplitude.

But, I am pretty sure they are going to want to see you load their disc in your CD player before you run at any major event.

If you aren't sure, call Wayne at 208-773-3371 and ask him.
