A Taper is a person who records musical events often from standing microphones in the audience for the benefit of the musical group's fanbase. Such taping was popularized in the late 1960s and early 1970s by fans of the Grateful Dead.〔Michael Getz & John Dwork, ''The Deadhead's Taping Compendium, Volume 1: An In-Depth Guide to the Music of the Grateful Dead on Tape, 1959–1974'', Holt Paperbacks, May 15, 1998, ISBN 0-8050-5847-8〕 Audio recording was allowed at shows and fans would share their tapes through trade. Taping and trading became a Grateful Dead sub-culture.〔Jonathon S. Epstein, ''Youth Culture: Identity in a Postmodern World'', Blackwell Publishing, 1998 ISBN 1-55786-851-4, p 127〕 Tapers generally do not financially profit from recording such concerts and record using their own equipment with permission from the artist. Taper recordings are commonly considered legal because the recordings are permitted and distribution is free. Taper etiquette strictly excludes bootlegging for profit. "Stealth taper" is a common term for a person who may furtively bring equipment into shows to record without explicit permission. Although taping is usually done with microphones, often bands will allow plugging into the soundboard for a direct patch. Taping setups are generally portable, operating on high quality condenser microphones, phantom power, a microphone preamplifier and a recording device all of which are battery powered.〔Paul L. "Pro" Pearson, Ph.D. (Setting Levels "The music is what it’s about..." ) ''jambands.com'' May 1999〕 A common means of trade is by transferring the tape recording to a lossless digital format such as FLAC and sharing through an internet file share protocol such as BitTorrent with the assistance of a networking service such as etree.〔(Etree Wiki ) ''wiki.etree.org/''〕 == See also == * etree * Tape trading * Bootleg recording 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taper (concert)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
