I'm compiling some music from a DAT to a CD, using digital IO.
Sounded fine going in. When I finished the CD and checked, though, on
about half of the tracks I can hear what sounds like cracks and pops
from an old record. It's not the typical pop you hear when you overdo
the signal, either. It's just a straight transfer. The machines I'm
using are a Tascam DA-20 and a Philips CD-R. I haven't had trouble
with either machine before this. I'm recording on Memorex music CD-R
discs.
Any ideas what is causing this, or how to fix it?
Thanks.

It looks like a sync problem. Maybe the cable or connectors need
replacement??
Is the DA-20 set to internal sync? The CD-R should get its sync from the
interface signal.
