If they are 2-track, I'd guess they are recorded via a Sony PCM-F1 or F10, the Sony digital processors that, combined with a VCR (although usually Beta), predate DAT. Some professional studios still have these lying about. If they are multitrack *and* post-1991, they could be Alesis ADAT, which was introduced in 1991. marcos sueiro bal audio engineer 2807 newtown, astoria NY 11102 718.626.8528 mailto:[log in to unmask] >From: Steven Smolian <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: [ARSCLIST] Digital audio on video >Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 21:24:51 -0400 > >I have a group of VHS videotapes that were, apparently, used as the media >for live digital audio-only recordings.
