That's my basic thinking as well. The portable nature of DATs mean that you
can take them to any decent recording studio anywhere in the world, and
go to CD when you're ready to release something.
Plus, DATs are much cheaper than CD-Rs.
And, you can record radio shows that happen to play tons and tons of good
quality techno, trance, trip-hop, whatever, and then go back and pick out
bits and pieces to sample from. Digitally. :)
Also... the AWE32 was mentioned in the original post. I looked into the
Turtle Beach Fiji w/ S/PDIF digital IO daughtercard. You can pick them
up fairly cheap (around $300 if I remember correctly). This gets you from
DAT to PC, and back, while still allowing you to sample at up to 20-bit
resolution.
np: Don Solaris. (bout time! ZTT is just plain stupid for not releasing this
in the states).
