OK yeah, my mistake, I was using ADAT like digital mastering via VCR style digital recording masters in the 80's, but I moved to Seattle Washington in the 90's and this area never really got into ADAT machines in recording studios anyway, it was all about 16-24 track 2" tape and Pro Tools for editing in the later part of the decade. one friend had an ADAT machine in around 98, but 4 years later everything was on the computer.I am confused, do you mean ADAT, as in Alesis ADAT? If so, it was not released until around 1991. Have you got your dates mixed up?ADAT in the states was an 80's thing, not a soul was using it in the 90's,

I was friends with a guy who worked for a modern at the time digital video and audio multimedia service that worked with big businesses around the Bay Area, he recorded our masters onto VCR style tape, and that was the first and last I had used anything that was related to ADAT type recording.
This would have been 1986, so his company was on the bleeding edge.
