Just purchased a CD-R and am looking for the best way to record from DAT.
How is everyone else doing it? Is there a special soundcard people are using
or are we still in the analog input stage? Is there any special software
people use. My CD-R came with Adaptec's Easy CD Creator, is this sufficient?
Thanks,
Vern

I've been meaning to post this, and keep forgetting. B&H Photo Video
down in NYC (www.bhphotovideo.com) has the D5 for sale now at $620!
Even more surprising, they list the usual retail at $650. If you're in
the market for a deck, I've heard great things about the D5, and this
price certainly can't be beat. No affiliation, blah blah blah, just
like the price, and it's a pretty cool store (and it's 420 Ninth Ave no
less =).

For my new computer I spent a little extra to get a Soundblaster Live!
sound card, which does the usual sound card stuff (in/out, joystick,
etc.), but also includes MIDI, plus SPDIF (RCA cable) digital I/O.
Assuming your DAT has SPDIF (they look like ordinary RCA connectors,
except probably orange instead of red and white), this would probably
work just fine. I haven't gotten around to burning anything this way,
but your Adaptec software should work. Most burners come with that
same software.

Subject: Remote power supply for the DAP1
Reply-to: flatpick@interlync.com

Hi,
I use phantom power from my DA-P1 to power 2 Neumann
TLM103's. The internal battery lasts no more than 1 1/2 hours at
best when I use phantom, about 2 hrs without.
(I have a spare & it holds up with the same time frame). I'd made a
battery out of two 4V 10Ah nicads in series but for some reason,
they don't seem to last much longer (a little over 2 hours) than the
standard Tascam batteries. I need something portable that I can
put in a knapsack with the DAP1 that will last for 6-10 hours at a
time without a recharge.
I was wondering how well the RayoVac Renewal D size alkaline
batteries hold up? I could use 10 of them in a series parallel & I do
have use of the microprocessor controlled RayoVac special
recharger for them.
Anyone have a good affordable suggestion? the stock DAP1
batteries are 7.2V at 1.4Ah.
Answers direct to me or on list are really appreciated.

I use Radio Shack 7.2v batteries for the DA-P1 (via the external power
jack).
1. Cut the power supply wire, and install mini-xlr connectors on both
ends.
2. Make a cable with mini-xlr on one end, Radio Shack locking molex on
the other.
3. Wire the batteries with RS locking molex connectors.
4. Make a cable with locking molex on one end, 2 locking molex (in
parallel) on the other. This allows switching batteries in a
make-before-break (that is, no-dropout) way.
(I'm leaving out a lot of info about connector gender, etc. because
I'm too lazy to go check. It should all appear in back issues of the
digest.)
Another possibility is 6 high-capacity D-cell nicads in series. (The
advantage of this is that in the absence of time or ability to charge
them, you can use 5 alkaline D-cells and short the holder for the
sixth.) (Be careful which D-cell nicads you get; some are just
C-cells in a larger box. RS's high-capacity are real.)

Hey all->
I am in the process of picking up an Apogee DA1000E-20 and was wondering
what I can use to connect three dat machines and a CD player to the unit
via rca coax. I have some info about video switchers which use 75ohm
circuitry which would pass the SPDIF along and let me switch back and forth
from different inputs. Any help would be appreciated. Looking to spend up
to ~$200 if the value is there.

To any one out there that has Tapers Tix for Phish 7/10, 7/15, or 7/16 I

I picked up the Guillemot Maxi Studio Isis, it has an outboard box with 8
in/4 out analog jacks, and optical In/Out and SPDF In/Out. I have the Sony
optical I/O cord for my D7, I plug it into the optical ports and use
CoolEdit SE that came with the Maxi Sudio ISIS to record to wav files.
Once the songs are copied onto my PC as wav files, I use Adactec EZ CD

Subject: re: questions re tascam da 30mkII
Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 09:12:09 -0500
I picked up a DA-30MKII used from a professional studio who upgraded their
system to 24bit. They said they would never have given it up unless they
needed to upgrade. It is(was) the standard for mastering DATs for
transferring to CD. In my humble use of it, I find that it sounds
'quieter' and cleaner than any other deck I've used such as the Fostex D-5,
especially when using the analog outputs. I especially like and get a lot
of use out of the shuttle wheel for fast queing.. This machine has a lot of
pro features and is sure to have what you need for 16bit taping.
This machine does not handle 90m tapes. It won't play them unless you fool
it by covering the little hole in the bottom of the tape. (compare a 60m to
a 90m tape and you will see the different holes) Other people on Dat-heads
may know exactly what happens
to the deck but the manual states that the tape is too thin on a 90m and may
get crimped or broken if played. I have played a few 90m tapes on my deck
and they have played just fine when I cover the hole. I do notice that the
rewind and fast forward sound as if the tape is winding a lot faster than a
60m. I have heard that the 90m can damage the rollers in the deck but I'm
not sure so I am avoiding using 90m.
I haven't yet figured out all the features of the start ID's, auto-ids, abs,
etc. The manual isn't very helpful on this. It seems straightforward but
when I try to set and ID, it doesn't work. I think this is my own problem
though. The features seem to be the same
to other decks I've used.
What price are you getting for it?? I sometimes hear @700-800 is a decent
price. I got mine for a "friend's" price of $600 but some people on this
list told me I should've got it for less. Who knows?
happy taping,
