I always use DAT. I usually just use the data grade and not the audio grade tapes though. I've never come into a problem with them before and they are tons cheaper.



CD's are just too fragile to master on. I dont recall the last time I had a DAT fail on me, and as long as you keep your equipment clean, it should be fine.



I am looking to pick up an Alexis LC-20 ADAT, but I havent put the money aside for it yet.



My problem is that to use the ADAT how i want, I also have to buy a 8 channel digital audio card for the SGI, which runs about $2500.
