carbonbit 48k, from carbonbit:, just to stick a pin in the origin story of this recording:, dolphin replied on Zomb that the Sony microDAT had no digital out, and casting my aging mind back, that may be correct. I know I used my digital hub to make clones using my DATmen (D7/D8), which had weird digital connectors, and I THOUGHT I also used that digital hub to master my (few) microDAT recordings. BUT, as I say, dolphin may be right about the microDAT machine not having a digital output, that rings the vaguest of bells. IF that is the case, then I mastered my microDATs to DAT this way:, sony microdat analog out -> Tascam DAT DECK (either DA-20 or DA-302) analog in, ...which would make them D>A>D, but still definitely no analog TAPE phase, anyway., dolphin also mentioned, speaking of the Sony microDAT recorder:, "those use micro cassettes which are not dats", ...I was certainly always under the impression that they *were* DATs, or digital, at least -- the teeny, tiny cassettes involved were called Sony NTC-90 digital micro tapes., I have always assumed that LB-3182 was a direct clone from my DAT master, although I confess I have never heard it. And now dolphin says his has a cassette phase, which makes me wonder about LB-3182. (I did distribute a few DAT copies at the time, despite the sad lack of Babe -- I also sent a couple of cassette copies to the taper, my trading partner in Wilkes-Barre, who had zero digital equipment of his own.), For what it's worth, here's a link to my DAT master, which (whether D>D or D>A>D) is as close as you can get to the source unless you have a microDAT machine to play the teeny, tiny true master (I certainly do not have one any longer, but I do still have the tapes!)., (as I say, I have always assumed that this would be a very close match to LB-3182, although certainly it will be tracked slightly differently. I eventually got a Babe on cassette from someone, and that is included.)
