Title: Re: [ARSCLIST] Digital audio on video
Steve,
I would concur that it’s Sony PCM-F1 tapes. At the time, it was a standalone 2-channel A/D – D/A converter that used either BETA or VHS as the storage media. Beta was getting harder to find at the time, so many folks “cheeped out” and bought VHS decks. Nakamichi also shipped the same unit (if memory serves me at all, that model # was the DMP-100?), with supposedly better electronics on the analog side.
I also was one of the unfortunate people who committed mixes to this format. Thank goodness the label dropped the artist!
You can probably still rent one of those (maybe) from one of the equipment rental places in NY/ LA/ Nashville.
Contact me off-list if you need some names.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Digital audio on video
I have a group of VHS videotapes that were, apparently, used as the media for live digital audio-only recordings. This is VHS, not BETA. The recordings fall into the 1989-1993 period.
Any ideas as to how I can identify what recording system was used and what equipment would play these back?
