Re: [ARSCLIST] Glitchy dats
Hi, David,
My advice: send the glitchy DATs to Dennis at NXT Generation in PA.
http://www.nxtgentech.com/
He does his transfers on opened machines doing things like watching
eye patterns n' stuff.
I thought I was going to learn how to do this, but decided against it
when I found out he was already doing it.
Oh, and what Marie said <sigh>
I found worst problems with TDK DATs.
Cheers,
Richard

I've been sent a load of DATs to transfer to CD for auditioning, and I find
that a number of them dating from 1996 have glitches. I don't know if there's
one brand more prone than others since I'm not monitoring consistently, but
they do seem to turn up on Sony PDP-124s. Anyone have similar experiences? Any
thoughts on whether this was a bad brand (I had problems with it myself) or if
it was a matter of us not thoroughly erasing the tapes before using
them or not
fast forwarding or rewinding them before using them?
