Hi, I have bought a Sony PCM-M1 and want to know what the best software
would be for taking the data and working with it on a PC? I just want to do
basic editing in preparation for making CDs of my concerts and friends
recitals.

Thanks,
Jamie

I think you may have just posted the perfect first response to all the
"what's the best" questions! That would make yours the best response to
those on the "what's the best" quest. Good job, Michael.

Audacity is totally free and entrely useful for basic editing.

If you're looking for software that will allow you to transfer the DAT
tape directly to your computer, you're pretty much out of luck, even
if you find a DAT drive. There's a very limited number of models that
have the firmware that support this.

What would make it "best" for you? Powerful? Free? Well supported by
the manufacturer and users?

Audacity, Tracktion, N-track.

Getting more expensive: Adobe Audition, Sound Forge, Wavelab

Tracktion works on Macs too. Audacity too, if I recall correctly.

Spark LE/ME.

Wasn't Garageband bundled with your Mac's iLife package? It's supposed
to be part of the deal.

Hi Hank

I didn't get the ilife 04 with my G5 so I didn't get garageband as my
computer was made in mid january (so I am told).I can get a copy of it sent
to me though as I have the papers to do so.Will garageband alow this
function?


Thanks
Troy

Understand I'm speaking from my understanding of what's s'posed to be,
and not from firsthand Garageband experience. But it's alledgedly an
entry level DAW with both audio and MIDI capabilities, and I can't
imagine it's not suitable for basic work. I have read reports that it's
a bit of a pig if one needs more than a few tracks, but other than that
it'd said to work. I've also read reports that some major artists are
using it for sketching, using it's built-in instruments and such.

Get Apple to send it to you and try it. It might be all you need. I
won't be dealing with it until I make the OSX move for good. Right now
what I have works for some value of "works", and I am unwilling to
challenge that.
