Hey Kevin,
Yup, I suspect the culprit is the DAT. Checking the DAT sample rate is
good. If that doesn't do it, most DAT's had a switch for
digital/analog. With everything already recorded on the DAT, you can't
hurt anything by flipping switches until you find it...

PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
Dear all,
I really need help on this one. I own a DAT Machine which is connected via
SPDIF to my focus right 18i20. Yesterday, and for a couple days before
then, I was transferring The contents of old DAT tapes into sonar without
any issues.
Today, when I fired up my system to continue making these transfers, I was
on able to record anything at all. I also tried this in Reaper. I should
note that I opened and armed Reaper first, before opening sonar, because I
wanted to save my files as FLAC To save space.
When I was on able to record in reaper, I opened sonar and discovered that I
couldn't get any content there, either.
For the sake of this discussion, I will stay focused in sonar. Here are the
things I have done:
I made sure that the track I wanted was assigned to the SPDIF input and the
master output.
2. Made sure that the track was armed and that input monitoring was
enabled.
3. For the record, I had done the same things in reaper when I tried that
as well.
I know that the tapes have content because I monitored through my headphones
using the headphone jack on the DAT Machine.
I also have enough vision to see the display on the DAT Machine and saw the
VU meters registering as the content played.
While this should not have been necessary I also reached back to make sure
that my cables were properly seated. These cables are almost brand-new in
as much as they have almost never been used.
Also made sure that SPDIF what is enabled in my focus right control panel. I
don't need accessibility I have enough vision to use a mouse when
necessary.
Powered down and rebooted computer twice.
WTF?
Any help greatly appreciated from reaper or sonar or Samplitude users.
Haven't gone to Samplitude yet because I don't think the choice of DAW has
anything to do with this.
Thanks for any help,
Kevin
