Hello,
My apologies for asking a question that no doubt has been answered many times in the distant past, however, I’m a bit behind the times.
Circa 2000 I recorded many jams with a friend on a Sony D100. I also recorded several concerts around the same time. I transferred many of these to digital by going D>A>D back in the day, however, I would like to recapture and master these recordings as the technology available to do so is vastly superior to what I had then. Additionally, I would strongly prefer to capture bit perfect.
I have found my D100 (which has been wrapped in plastic in a box for 20ish years, annd I hope works) and my tapes.
I have my power chord for it but I will need to find the digital adapter to try to send coax out. I do still need to confirm that this even functions but it saw light use so I expect it will work.
I would be recording into my baby face pro interface (optical in) to my Mac or usb to mixpre 6ii. Therefore, in addition to the coax adapter for the D100, I would need to convert coax to toslink or usb prior to recording with these set ups.
My questions are:
1) Does this approach make sense, or should I be looking for an old used Dat player that can output to toslink directly?
2) What approach would you recommend to do this as cleanly and efficiently as possible?
3) Is there anything else I should be considering when setting up to make this as efficient and effective as possible?
I am primarily concerned with getting an accurate digital file. I have tools for EQ, separating tracks etc. once this is done (though open to software suggestions if there is something that would make this most efficient as I currently use Logic Pro X and vinyl studio pro for these purposes today and, while functional, they may not be best suited to the task).
I am would prefer to keep this under 3-400 US (I’m in Canada) but have some flexibility if there is a clearly superior solution.
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions!
