Dat to CDR?

if you have a digital in on your soundcard you should be good to go. then you can burn the discs on your g4 (that is a MAC, right?).
I recommend using a computer based burner as you will be able to fully edit the music once its off the DAT. you can add fades at the beginnings and ends of sets, you can split the sets into tracks, and you can also repair any digi-noise, clicks, or pops that may be on the dats.

Good luck.

I don't have a sound card either. I'm really in the dark on this whole deal. Yes the G4 is a MAC.

A quality sound card is a must for audiophile digital transfers. Check out a company called RME; think it is German. Stereophile reviewed their card a couple of years back and simply adored it (well, they adore lots of stuff). The Midiman/M-Audio Delta 2496 Audiophile card is also excellent but it lacks a sample rate conversion facility. Most good mastering software has a sample rate conversion facility (Soundforge, CoolEdit Pro).

hehe

Tapers.
the "digi-bias" is real.

Analog patch??- uh, no.
The reason I stopped dragging my mics around is that you can D/L something OR in 99% of the situations, know someone (trustafarians) with a rig 10x better than yours.

Plus, it's hard to shake your booty while protecting your gear, and shushing loud fans.

Gthirteen,
Love your post. I finally stopped dragging bags-o-gear to shows in 2001, having been doing it since 1985. started with the Sony D5 analog and a pair of mics, ending up with almost as much money in taping equipment as I have in my 2 channel system at home. When you spend your time keeping your gear safe, keeping it from getting stolen, giving out patches, fending off the touch-of-grey-heads wanting to "buy a tape" of the show, and beginning in 2001, going through absurd security checks to get gear into the show..

Even though I had one of the better rigs in the section, I am not a trustifarian, though there were plenty out there.

anyway, thanks for the post as it brought some fond memories back ;)
