Hi, Tantra:Bypass the use of DAT for this purpose.
If possible, purchase an Alesis Masterlink ML-9600 (with at least the 20 gig drive) and you will be happy. The Alesis allows slick edits and you can do all sorts of things that were never conceived in the DAT format. Such as: changing the eq, limiting, compressing and normalizing for higher levels from whatever sources. You can also insert fades between cuts. The Alesis will not easily allow you to cut out clicks or pops if they occur, unless one or two are really gross ones, in which case you will have to develop very swift fingers for the cut and paste routine!
Besides, the Alesis can record your material from any analog source in up to 24 bit / 96 kHz sampling and then down-sample to 16 bit for burning a red book cd.
I love my ML-9600! I also own three DAT machines, but now rarely use them. For one thing, DAT tape has its own set of "isues", such as storage and being a most delicate medium, prone to transport problems at times. When working properly, a good DAT machine will do its stuff, but you would have to upload the files to a DAW for further editing.
No so with the ML-9600 which allows all of this stuff within one box!
