It's a long time since I used DAT, and things may have changed since then, but back when I was interested in the subject, there was a problem trying to read audio DAT tapes in computer drives. Even though they use the same physical tapes, the format of what's recorded onto audio DAT is different to data DDS. Computer DDS drive firmware cannot read audio DAT format. (The only DDS drive that could read audio DAT back in those days was an SGI model). But as I say, my info is years old - things might have changed since then. bephillips;248237 Wrote: > DAT sample rate is 48 kHz. Not necessarily. In fact, IIRC it's only consumer-level DAT recorders that limit you to recording at 48kHz. All semi-pro and pro models allowed you to select the sample rate. My DAT tapes (recorded on a Tascam DA30mkII) were always done at 44.1kHz, precisely so they could be transferred to CD without resampling. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40960 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
