I just received a DAT Master in the mail the other day from a Weezer show that I was transfer and encode. I have a DigiBox that I use to connect my D8 to my Dio 2448 (toslink) soundcard in my PC and it's worked like a charm on all my masters.
I transfered the show over and something seemed odd. I checked the DAT and it said that the show was approximately 79min long, however the wav that I recorded (once I deleted the empty stuff at the beginning and end) was over 88min long! I figured while deleting the empty stuff and adding the fades at the beginning and ending I must have messed something up so I re-did it with the same results. Then I listened to the DAT with my headphones and it sounded really messed up like it was too slow. I got nervous about my DAT recorder (which only has like 15 hours of play/record time on it) so I re-transfered one of my shows and it was only a 6 second differential which I could attribute to minute streaching or contracting of the tape and whatever else...the show was 1:30 long so that's no biggie and it sounded fine. I messed around in SoundForge and found the time compress/expand option and compressed the time down to 1:19 and some of the show sounds normal, but other parts still sound slow. What could have caused this problem and is there a way to fix it? I would assume if the tape wasn't packed (FF and RR before use) it would make the sound sound fast as opposed to slow. I really want to try to salvage this recording, anybody know anything I can try. Please email me off list.
