Abstract
An apparatus and method have been conceived for using a digital audio tape (DAT) in an audio logger for the purposes of storing and retrieving audio data. This is accomplished in a manner such that the data is received and recorded in a time related manner. Provision is made for accommodating the transfer drive rate of the DAT through use of a buffer between the signal processor of the logger and the DAT. In addition, the method of storing the data results in greater use of the available space on the DAT as the DAT tape only writes for those periods when audio is present on a channel.
