There's Asimware's MasterISO but it's too expensive (for me). A demo's on
aminet I think.

The problem is that nobody has made a sound sampler with digital inputs so
you're not going to get a 100% digital copy.

I'd love to be proved wrong...

Your best bet would be to find any SCSI-based CD-burning unit, a Sunrize 
AD516 board, a HUGE hard drive and the program Master-ISO from ASIMWare. 
I'm not sure how capable the SunRize board is at DSP and post work, but 
it's the premier hard-disk recording board.

As for pro-audio mastering, the only ones I've heard about is David 
Pleasance when he recorded "Everone's Girlfriend," and from what I 
understand, they used a custom setup. Let's hope someone decides to 
develop more pro-audio apps for us!

BTW, what kind of Amiga are you planning on using? The SunRize card only 
goes in big-box systems.

I would strongly suggest using an external ADC and a Maestro Pro board.

What do you mean with "sound sampler" - a sound board? Maestro Pro.
A "real" sampler? They should have AES/EBU ports.

But with your scsi cd-r and asimcdfs you can simply rip the digital data from
a audio cd, so it`s no problem :)

That's fine if your source is CD (which probably means you're pirating the
music) but not so useful if the stuff is on DAT.

Does the SunRize board have digital ins ?

Nope, just the regular analog RCA connectors (5 of them to be exact: L+R
input, L+R output, SMTPE input)

However, shouldn't it be possible to hack this board and put a standard
AES/EBU digital output on it?
