Hello,

I have a copy of this show on DAT. It comes from a first generation 
cassette. Sound is comparable to what you may hear from other sources, or on 
other media, but if you're into known-generation sources, this tape may be 
for you.

I would like to trade for more Doors on DAT or cassette, preferrably without 
cdr in the lineage of the show. If you have any Doors, please contact me 
off-list.

Thanks,

Jason

Hey People,

I'm putting together a new computer for working with DAT recordings. I want to edit recorded sounds and interviews into podcasts. The new machine will have two 320 GB HDDs (yay!), and I'll probably use Audacity and ProTools LE for the editing. 

Any suggestions on partitioning strategies? Like, I'm pretty sure it's a good idea to put the editing software and DAT data on separate disks, but how much space do most people allocate for the raw DAT data? Is it best to use a separate partition for the finished (edited) stuff? Working directories...?

thanks!

Leif

Seems that using an ipod for recording is closer to a reality.  The 
5G/video ipods are supposed to be able to record at 44.1 KHz, and new 
add-ons have mic/line-in inputs:

http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/italkpro/
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod/review/belkin-tunetalk-stereo-for-ipod-with-video/

Anyone have experience with any of these products?  How is the quality?

I had planned on eventually retiring my DAT recorder and using the ipod 
linux software for ipod recording as a replacement, but it doesn't 
support recording on the 5G yet - and if the ipod has 44.1 recording now 
built in with products for sale now, why wait?

If anyone has any insight, feel free to reply to me or to the list.
