Is there any other comparable free software? I am borrowing a DAT recorder from a friend and would like to transfer some recordings to my PC and burn them to a CD. I have the Nero CD burning software, so maybe all I really need is something to import the DAT recordings into my computer and save them as files.

I import my DAT recordings over to Sound Forge, then edit from there. Sound Forge is not great for mixing (as it's only 2-track) but it is the best WAV editor and manipulative tool I've ever used. Has anyone tried Cakewalk Pro for recording? It records directly to the hard drive and you can lay down as many as 256 tracks! Then, you have complete control over mixing the tracks and outputting them as 2-track stereo. It's an amazing tool! If anyone wants "evaluation copies" of either of these, I'd be happy to provide them. Sorry, PC only. Les ------------------------------ End of wanderer-digest V2 #25 *****************************
