Good luck gents. I don't currently know of anyone that has a DAT machine, but I will keep my ears peeled.
I think I would have to record it to a computer and then burn it. I'm not sure if the computer has a digital out on it. Monday, I'll see what the DAT has for outputs. If it's got spdif or aes/ebu, I can't probably transfer it straight to a CF card. What is the DAT tape set for? I think my DAT does up to 96Khz
ok I just looked at the tapes...mind you its been 14 years since I've seen these...they are Hi8 format. I didn't realize a studio would back up audio on a Hi8! ugh...
Yeah I want to do a 15th anniversary release of "A Winter's Burial" next year. Pretty sure the studio I recorded at (West Sound in Londonderry) is gone...what to do....
I think that you will have a better chance of finding a studio with hi8 than a DAT. Btw: Londonderry is nothing but snobs and former rich kids. Fuck that town. Go ASTROS!
