Re: Restoring DATa backups
Yes, I let the Restore-option run for at least an hour, but it keeps on saying 'Reading Header...'
All slots except for Slot 0 are greyed out. All is on version 5.1 (Digi Init, DAE). Quote:

Sorry for a basic question here... Did you hit play on the DAT Machine after selecting Restore? DATa doesn't start the deck.

Re: Restoring DATa backups
Sure, I know that. Tried several times both from the ID and the start of the tape. Either the header is damaged (?) or there is some other incompatibility playing up here... I remember I took care of good quality DAT-tape and a reliable recorder back in 1996. Like you said before: what trick could I use to handle 'interleaved mono files' if present in this backup? (don't remember whether I used this option).

Thanks, I had to ask. If it doesn't respond to the header (start restoring) then you can stop the DAT - it won't help to let it play. > Like you said before: what trick could I use to handle 'interleaved mono files' if present in this backup? (don't remember whether I used this option). If 'interleave' was off, you should be able to just transfer the audio. If 'interleaseve' was on, you could transfer the audio into a stereo app then use ResEdit to change the Channel resource from 2 to 1 which would put the samples back in the correct order in a mono file. (In either case, you'd lose the start/end points of the files and have to edit them.) Do you happen to have Sound Designer II on that computer?

Re: Restoring DATa backups
No SDII, lost my key-disks years ago. But I'll import the DAT into my studio-rig and I can use Soundhack to change the header, if need be.
Wouln't it be possible to just sum the L&R channels to mono? And what about the speed? It sounds like it's 2x? |

Re: Restoring DATa backups
If it sounds like it's 2x, then you probably used 'interleave' which alternates samples to the L and R tracks to speed up the backup/restore. Transferring this in as a stereo file and editing the resource might get you back in business.
I'll contact you directly to follow up...
