Title: dat transfer via usb
Post by: georgeh on December 01, 2010, 10:22:23 AM

Tried asking this in another subject here.
M- Audio the best bet? I got a new laptop and didn't think to look for one with a card slot, none on this one.
maybe i'll get off my ass and start transferring the boxes of dats
thanks
george

I transferred all my old DATs using my Sony R500 > HD-P2
since you have everything you need already... why buy anything?
hopefully your old D8 will still track your tapes properly

thanks.
 darby, i still have a r500 (and hb cd burner) hooked to stereo, could use ther500> p2, or old school using the hb.

I have a samsung System Model   Q430/Q530
 Processor   Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU       M 450  @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

P2 is probably the way to go

I do my Xfering DAT > P2.  It works freekin' great...

I switch between (2) CF Cards and while I'm tracking out one show, I can transfer a second show...  I use a Card Reader to move the WAVs to my PC, I don't have FW anymore...

thanks, card reader is what i use too. i plan on transferring at 16 48. same as original recordings. I don't see the advantage to 24/48(or 96)
