Whoops, I should have read more closely. I do agree it sounds like a clocking issue.

Still glitchy? If so, do other DATs from outside this group also playback with errors or are they fine? You need to determine whether the errors are happening at the source or in the capture.

I'm transferring a set of DATs, recorded at 48/24, using a TASCAM DA-20MKII and WaveLab 6 software. The .wav files I end up with in WaveLab are highly, highly glitchy. Errors and dropouts galore. However, when I listen to one of these tape directly from the deck itself, it sounds completely fine. No problems at all. I've transferred hundreds of DATs and have never encountered this before. Any ideas as to what's going on here? Any pointers much appreciated!
