I may be doing a project where someone has tracked everything to a
Fostex 16-channel hard disk recorder. A cursory look at the manual
found that Fostex CLAIMS that files can be saved to CD as WAV files,
then transferred to a computer. It looks like the formatting of the
drive is MS DOS.

I'm a Mac user running Cubase SX 2. (I am not rich enough to be a
Republican, or own a Pro Tools HD system!!!) In Theory I could burn
the data to disk as WAV files, then, load them into SX and I'm off and
running.

I'm assuming of course that all tracks would be exported with the same
start and end points. Which would make it dead easy to do.

My questions are, has anyone done someting like this successfully? Any
hitches if you have? Would it be easier to just pull the drive out of
the Fostex, put it in a firewire enclosure (sled) and copy the data to
a Mac formatted drive? It seems like it would, any pitfalls in doing
that?

thanks in advance
