[ARSCLIST] DAT frequency problem

[Tommy Sjöberg <tommy.sjoberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
thought I'd check the collected wisdom of the 
list for a problem I thought I knew how to 
handle, but didn't.

In our archive we've received a number of DAT 
cassettes from a freelance journalist. He's used 
borrowed DAT machines to make reports, but his 
own cassettes, and this has led to reports 
recorded with both 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling 
frequency on the same cassette.

So, fine, I can record them back into the 
computer and check the machine all the time, and 
switch between two files to record into, when the 
frequency changes. I have to create two files, 
one with each sampling frequency (I'm using 
Audition) before I start.

I guess I can also set the computer hardware to 
use the clock on the DAT, but is there a way that 
I can set the software to change frequency also? 
I would like to just turn the machine on and let 
it run, if possible.

Thanks,
Tommy
