Here is a closer look at our Dennon CD player (with SPDIF digital out!) and our Tascam DA30 DAT machine.Students at Skidmore MASTER their tapes to this DAT machine, then bounce the DAT recordings to CD.

When recording to DAT, be sure you do not SKIP any parts of the tape.... that is...if you want to make a little gap after the last song on the DAT, it's better to RECORD SILENCE, so that the DAT machine knows where it is all the time. Otherwise, if you simply play a few inches of blank tape and try to record, ABSOLUTE TIME will drop out on the DAT display, and this is not good.
