I have heard of minidisc recorders, and i was wondering if I could easily put the sound onto my computer, (i.e. into adobe premier)
Also in my search for film sound, I have come over something called a DAT. I am curious as to what that is, where can I get one, price, etc.
Thanks in advance! |

Whats dat you ask? I dunno what dat is. Haha. Sorry, anyways it stands for digital audio tape. Their way more than minidisks. About a couple hundred more. You can on ebay for cheaper but Id just go with minidisk. |

A new DAT machine would run you about $1200! A MiniDisc recorder will get you by. |

A DAT is an expensive, fairly bulky tape recorder. Sure it does digital, but if Jabba's price estimate is correct, you'd be better of with MiniDisc. I just bought one from Sears last night for $180 (open box buy). They have a good handheld for $200, and that sounds about the norm. If you use a good mike, the recording quality is excellent. Go for the small, cheap (relatively) MD. I'd rather carry a walkman size unit than a small briefcase DAT. |

He's right- I have a Sharp, and it's excellent. Unfortunately, the DAT is still industry standard. I was in NYC this weekend to document the Big Shot on the USS Intrepid. It was fun, but man! I was wearing a 25 pound battery belt, a 6 pound DAT deck (Sony TCD-D10), boompole, XLR cable, spare batteries for the camera guy. All I could think about was my 12 oz. MD back at the hotel. Unless you'll be freelancing for PBS, buy MD.-J |

To see a dat in action just watch The Blair Witch Project.------------------

DAT is Digital Audio Tape.Sony's MiniDisk is the way to go. You can rearrange music in any sequence, just like programming a CD. This comes in handy!

Do you guys use a Minidisc with film? How does that work with syncing it up later on? Any problems with sync sound? |
