 From my understanding of Digital Audio Tape (DAT recording you will need a program to "decode" the digital information from the DAT to an analog signal then back to digital (unless you can rerecord the playback direct to digital). The digital information on a DAT recording predates todays "digital" format with lossless encoding. It is closer to MIDI then digital audio. I would play the song through a DAT deck and record it onto your computer digitally. You should not lose much quality if your system is set up for it.

I'm a litttle new to this online forum so I don't know if I'm responding to the reply correctly. Anyhow, I have a mastering guy that tells me that he can transfer this to cd or thumb drive. I just don't know if Magix will open the file and load it into an original multitrack arrangment. Is there a special file firmat or extention that I should tell him to use or will it come to me a=in a bumdle (.bun) format.

Thanks for your reply, now I'm almost there.

Thanks...

 I don't think MM uses .bun file format. Cakewalk does but that is a $1,500 program. You would be best if you can get him to output to a wav or mp3 format. You might be able to find a file-transfer program on the net that will transform it into a sable format but you will no doubt lose quality.
