Topic: transfering dats.......

[Jimna]

well my last post on using my new pcm-m1 was the difference, and reason, for the excellent recording that i got first try.  thanks!  now i want to roll it over to cd and am completely stumped.  the manual sony included wasnt very helpful.  i have a stand-alone burner to which i want to use.  before i even go there, i need to edit this recording....are dat recordings like mini's in the sense that i can move track markers?  and if so, once ive placed all the track markers and i use a digital connection to transfer to cd, will these track marks be placed on the cd-r?.....like my mini did?   any enlightenment would be appreciated.  ive read everything i can find on the sites ive been turned on too before.  any other info on options i have when edit dat tapes is appreciated.  

this site kicks ass!  im proud to belong.

To edit your tape (beyond just setting tracks) you need to get it onto a computer and have the proper software.  That's one of the problems with a stand-alone; you have to burn it and then eac it to your computer.  If all you need to do is set tracks than you can set new start ids on your dat and there should be a record setting on the burner that will recognize the ids and automatically set tracks there.  Unfortunately, I'm not too sure if you can delete the ids with an m-1 or any other dat deck for that matter (you may be able to, I just don't know).  Hope this helps but, as usual, it probably doesn't completely answer your question.

why do you need to edit???

if editing isnt really needed, go from your dats 7-pin to a coaxial cable output that will provide your standalone w/ a digital signal, then track accordingly

when i used to use a standalone, i would go thru my dats absolute time, and write down where each track marker was, THEN go back thru and track it, quite a painstaking task, if i were you, id burn as one LONG track, cut at a song break, finish set or whatever, than EAC it to my comp, then track, seems harder but it really isnt!!!that way your set is only broken up into 2 tracks/CDS on the standalone, and you can track MUCh easier looking at a waveform!

I'm surprised you didn't tell him to get a JB3 and transfer with that

[twatts (pants are so over-rated...)]

Yes, I've been doing my transfers DAT (optical)>NJB3>USB>computer>SF5.0 (48>44)>CDWave (tracking) >SHN

But as soon as I get my Zoltrix up and tested I'll be going DAT(optical)>Zoltrix soundcard>SF5.0>CDWave>SHN

But if you go DAT>standalone, I'd burn one long track, then EAC into my HD for editing in SF, CE, or CDWave.  Cut tracks with CDWave to avoid Sector Boundary Errors (clicks at track marks) and save your show as FLAC or SHN so you can make more copies later...

seriously tho, just got the jb3, and have transferred about 10 dats, and its been PERFECT!!

if youre going to go dat>jb3, ya NEED a hosa converter in there, this so far is the only thing bit-=accurate AND stable!!!

Or an optical 7 pin
Or a stereo reciever with Coax ins and optical outs

What are the odds of that being bit perfect?
