I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option.

If you have the FIXED output then it is all “tweaking” that you need to do. Bothe of my TU-X1 were export version and both outputs were driven via an output pot that needed to be bypassed. With the FIXED output you out of the woods…

I guess it depends on the length of the performance but I probably can split a recorded performance into multiple tracks and then transfer to multiple CDRs.  I will have to run some tests.  You can then use your editing software to merge tracks.

Why would you need to do it? A regular DVD hose a WAV file of 4.7G – that is 2.3 hours of recording…

I have the Lavry Blue ADC attached to an Alesis hard disk recorder so recording and editing on my end is no problem.

I wonder if you tried the Alesis  internal A/D processor?

a.  What settings (front panel buttons) you use on your TU-X1 when recording.

Well, I use the settings whatever give me better result, and you need to found yours. I record only in Wide mode, pretty much I keep all buttons in the TU-X1’s FM section unparsed.

b.  What settings (selectable options) you use on your Lavry Gold ADC.  I think they are the same selectable options as for my Lavry Blue ADC.  For example, analog soft saturation; digital soft saturation; dither: acoustic bit correction or ABC-1 or ABC-2.

88.24, no saturation activation, no dithers, no acoustic bit correction, no DC offset activation (I need to try it and to see if it is transparent in Lavry – it I transparent in Pacific though).   Generally I try to record as close to digital zero as possible but it is not always happens. Different stations do different signal output, some of them do not even stereo phase even and so of them reverse channels (very annoying!!!).  I do not set volume by digital attenuators – never. However to match the needed volume by analog attenuators is not always successful. So, if I have lisle no enough output from my tuner then I records at minus 2-6dB – it not a bit deal as at 24Bit you have a lot of depth. Generally I try to set the recordings to have in peaks around minus .5-.1dB… It happen only in very few cases as it is live and you have no control what is going on another side (limiting, compression etc), so keeping at minus 2-3dB is a good idea for beginning. If you record for a whale then you will know the signature of the suasion that you deals with and you would know how “hot” you can records a broadcast from the given station.
