Wow. Scott. Thanks.
Perhaps I bungled it. I have recently changed how I get the sound from the=
DAT tape into
the editor. In this instance, I did do a real time play back of a 16 bit, =
Message: 44.
Subject: 1 K recording,
and transferred it from my ancient Sony DAT via Sony proprietary SPDIF digi=
tal cable,
which went via a co-axial plug into an M audio device that transferred digi=
tal signal into
an optical cable, which then ran into my MAC G5 via optical TOSLINK.
I then resampled the signal at 24 bit and 96K, to dump it into the editor.
Could this have botched things up?
I suppose I should try some experiments and do a real time transfer at diff=
erent digital
specifications, or sample an audio signal coming out of the DAT. I did not=
do that because
of the desire to stay in the audio domain.
If there is a wordclock mismatch, then this shows you can get quality artif=
acts staying in
the digital domain. I am sure most on this list are completely familiar wi=
th this, but I am
not. I need to go research what wordclock mismatch is.
So much tech stuff to learn. Makes this fun, the vertical learning curve th=
at I suppose never
stops.
