Looking for a good way to connect...

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I'm looking for a good way to dump audio from my Tascam 788 (great sounding
recorder) to my PC. The 788 has a SPDIF out and a SCSI connection or, I can go
analog to analog from the 788 to the line in of the Turtle Beach sound card but
I'm worried about the A/D D/A (to and from).
I have Firewire and USB hook ups on the computer as well as a Pinnacle brake
out box (AV Pro Deluxe) that came with a pro-sumer video editing bundle (I've
been told that it's not that good) but I'm not really looking at going that
rout. I downloaded the free Audicy program as I just wish to do basic 2 track
editing and mixing on this system.
I've been searching the net for an adapter but everything has come up zero,
been to a million cable and adapter sites with nothing good yet.

I think that maybe SPDIF is going out in favor of USB an Firewire

Why don't you just export WAVs?

Do you have a CD burner for your 788? You just burn the WAVs for your song
onto a CD, and then import them into whatever program you like. You then
have the advantage of not being limited to working with just 2 tracks.
