Mounting the DAT recorder?! Sounds interesting... ;-) > You probably haven't read enough, and my experience is that it's easy to > overcomplicate matters. There may be a simpler solution. Oh yeah, and you > need to ask clearer questions. What I want to have is a 1:1 copy of the audio data of a DAT deck. For this I use its SPDIF-out and plug it to the SPDIF-in of the Audiophile. Using envy24control I can route the signal to the cards internal mixer or to its outputs. But how can I record it to an audio file? Recording with Audacity results in a mute file. In its preferences I found the sole option /dev/dsp as recording device. I am determined to read more about it if you can tell me *what* to read... Ciao, HippiE
