hey all,
I am upgrading one of my friends to transfer dats into his computer.
He is the m -audio 24/96.
the card and drivers are installed right.
When i go and use cd wave editor. i am not getting music from the dat to go on the computer.
I have tried an M1 and a D8 with the oade cable. its the modified one. if you can help please respond
thanks
are you plugging into mic in on the soundcard directly?
I believe he wants a digital transfer to be done.
Are you using optical or coaxial?
Be sure to use an output and plug it into the input of the card.
Please re-check.
Then set the card for external clocking or whatever it is called in the windows driver. (Linux here...)
Then check the card's mixer.
I don't know what that looks like on your PC so others should explain that.
In the recording software you use must assign the SPDIF input for recording and in the sound card software (I don't know m -audio 24/96) the master clock to external.
Hope this helps

thanks everyone now i need to figure out a way to transfer dats to a mac, any idea
If it's a newer Macbook pro or even macbook they have optical in/out so you would need a deck with an optical out (there is a optical cable for the D8/M1 but it's pretty rare now) and a cable that goes to mini-toslink.
Or you can get a firewire SCSI adapter (such as the Ratoc FR1SX), a DDS drive that supports audio (such as Seagate CTD-8000, Sony SDT-9000, etc) and use DATXtract. This is the route I have gone.
What kind of MAC?
You can use a little external breakout box to go S/PDIF>USB; I used to use what is now the ESI U24XL, ran me around $100. Nowadays I just feed the signal into my Microtrack and record it to CF, then use a card reader to transfer.
can provide more information to make an accurate analysis? what dat player, cables, sound card and mac model you will use for this purpose?
