The analog will be the output for the sound card (so you can listern to
music CD's)
Computer based CD-r's don't have any inputs for external sources, you
have to send data via it's bus (SCSI / IDE).
That means that to get digital audio in to your computer you need to
record to hardisk via a digital I/O, generally on a sound card.
theres quite a few companys who make digital sound cards if you take a
look about.

Not quite those disk's, I've two IDE har disk, scsi hard disk, Scsi
CD-rom & Scsi CD-r in the same computer with no problem, but you
shouldn't have any trouble if your CD-r/Rom are SCSI, IDE *might* cause
some headaches.

Another HAPPY Microsoft customer! Tis a shame they couldn't be bothered to
make Win95/98 usable out of the box with more than just short snippets of
audio, eh? But what do they really care. They have me to help you!
With the tweaks at the URL below you can get glichless audio of any duration
you want on a 486/100 with 16Mb. I have, back in 1995 when my 3Gb scsi drive
was a great deal at only $1100. My, how things non-Microsoft have improved!

You want to do the [vcache] tweak, for sure, and maybe some of the others.
Good luck,

hey everyone
i'm a bit new to this DATheading, for years i've swapped on analog. now that
i finally have a DAT, i'm looking for hall & oates - does anyone here like
them? i saw someone mention Chicago, who i have on analog... anyway I'm ISO of
Hall & Oates DATs, and i've a lot of analog tapes, plus a few DAT masters from
the past month (men at work/howard jones, billy bragg, cardigans, st. etienne,
new order, underworld, daniel johnston, davie allen & the arrows) as well as a
few D.Clones.
also i want to buy a pro-deck to avoid SCMS - Tascam is the obvious and most
common name thrown at me, can you recommend other brands? i can't afford to
pay a lot of money. i read the FAQ but still feel eerie - maybe you can email
me direct, to avoid wasting bandwidth on an obvious question!

Subject: Protocall when trading CDR's?
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 20:23:48 -0800
I have just set up my new computer with a Plextor CDR. But I have a
question or 2 involving the trading of CDR's.
1. When converting a DAT to CDR, is done just as a D>D transfer, that is
keeping the crows noise and tuning between songs? Or is it preferable to
spend the time and edit out all of that extraneous material?
2. What software is everyone using to copy CD>CD. I have CDArchitect and
SoundForgeXP, but do not find anything in the manuals.
Thanks in advance for all assistance.

Subject: Does ZA2 work w/ Win98?
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 21:06:43 -0800
Yes, I use a ZA2 with Win98 on my comp. I've only had one problem with
it, but it's probably not related to Win98. Sometimes if I start
recording in Sound Forge XP before I hit play on my D8 I'll get an error
message that basically says it can't open the device(or something like
that), then I have to reboot my computer and it works fine. Does anyone
know how to fix this problem, is it related to buffer size? Also, the
person I bought the ZA2 from reccomended increasing the buffer size, but
I haven't bothered to figure out how to do it. Anyone know how?
Thanks,
Eric Angel

11 means "one more generation". 10 means "no more generations".
(The reasons have to do with retrofitting it into the codes that were
already written on CDs; the first bit means "copyright asserted", the
second is 1 for "master" and 0 for "later generation".)

Subject: AES/EBU <-> S/PDIF clarification needed
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 00:46:19 -0800
Hey folks,
I have a Tascam DA 20 with SPDIF coaxial/rca jacks and I've been trying to
figure out how that limits me in terms of buying a second deck. I've read
the FAQ section that relates to this, and I still am confused. Or, I need
to know whether or not the DA 20 is "smart enough" to recognize an AES/EBU
signal and handle the voltage or could I damage my unit.
Specifically, I am looking at whether I could get a Fostex D5 as a second
deck and how I might be constrained. I'd be cloning with a DA 20. Which
direction should the cloning go? I would think it would be DA 20 -> D5
based on what I read in the FAQ about the two digital standards, one
consumer (SPDIF) and one pro (AES/EBU). But do I need a special conversion
cable, or do I just connect both of them with either an AES.EBU or an SPDIF
cable? Which one?
Thanks for the help folks. I'll probably just end up getting a second DA
20--I love how the unit has treated me so far! It's like a tank, so solidly
built and all. But I wanted to weigh my options completely, and I figured I
could learn some valuable stuff about these standards.
Peace

They sell the sound driver for US$20, but give a free, downloadable,
no-questions-asked, 7-day trial. They claim to support the ZA2, but
don't recommend the card. Whatever that means...

I found out the hard way that YES tapes sent though the
mail should be repacked, but even more important, open the
tape cover by hand (slide your finger on the tabs and
gently pull up the cover, not touching the tape) and then
use your little finger or a pen to move the take up spool,
so that any slack tape is taken up....
I didn't do this once, and I ended up having to send my
DTC-790 off to get the jammed tape out of it.....this
happened on a Maxell HS/4 60 meter...I love these
tapes...but the sleeves are very slick (good for you
machine's motors and the life of the tape), but because of
this slickness, it has a tendency to cause slack tape if
they've been jostled around much (like through the post
office).

Neutral! Neutral! Neutral!... Then, you can bring it home, and EQ it
correctly for a well balanced sound on either: A) a well respected playback
medium...(I use AKG K240's, myself...) or B) your home stereo... (or do a
good D/A of step (A) and then do (b)... (heh heh, doobie...)
Straight wire with gain... That's the whole concept.. (Well, VERY long
delay's (months...) too....) What's wrong w/ Belden or Canare, anyway? (
I trust their ISO 9000 quality control more than subjective experiences... )
( Of course, if you CAN tell the difference between a connection wrapped
with cold-fusion tape and one wrapped with heat-shrink, you can ignore all
of this... But you better be able to do it double-blind, buddy...)
