Am trying to get my old band's album re-mastered onto CD, and wondered if anyone (preferably in the Midlands area) had the technology/know-how to do it for me. I ask for Midlands as I'm a bit reluctant to post the DAT, as it's the last remaining digital copy of our album, and it's worth too much to us to get lost in the post - forever!!

 

Having said that, we no longer have ANY other copies of the CD!!! How lame is that!!

 

So, if you've got the right kit, or if you've got a mate with a studio, please drop me a line on this thread, or PM me your details, and I'll get back to you. If all else fails, I will send it further afield to be done, so any details would be appreciated :).

 

Cheerz.

Please excuse me if this either sounds very basic, or I'm talking total *****cks :D..............

If you have a DAT player with an output point, you can wire it directly to your PC via the AUX input on the back of the PC, then record from source using your music software (AvRack, Roxio, Windows Media Player, etc), then transfer to CD. It's the same as how to record from record or tape.

 

HTH

Ok, cheers Dave.

 

Anyone got a DAT player nearby that I could borrow then please!?!

that would work but you would lose a bit of quality as it would be analog output resampled by the pc back to digital format

You would have to resample any way, unless the DAT is the same bit rate as the computer can recored.

 

And when you make the CD you will also have to resample for that too.

 

So really you will have to resample anyways.

bitrate is different.

DAT uses 48kHz and CD is 44.1kHz

 

I used to convert to CD in the days that I still had a DAT recorder.

I had a fiber optical cable from the DAT recorder to my soundcard and used Wavelab to feed the music in digital format to my computer and then converted it to 44.1kHz.

I know that one mate - I just have a couple of unplayable, scratched coasters left of the ones we did (and some crappy 128k MP3s I got from the NGs). Hope you get it sorted!

Oooooh those wheels look just like mine on your white 300 Mujina
