[Ed.]

any luck?

seamless is installed, but no luck on the firewire thing

looks like usb will have to werk

hmm, you might want to bounce over to www.nomadness.net and ask in their forums, i bet they could tell you how to fix it.  or even try it on the njb3tapers list.

hey guyz, another couple questions

so how do i get "hold" going once i start recording w/ the jb3???

another-when i go into the recording function, it has optical:line in, synchro, continuous, and monitor recording.........

so my q's are, should i have the synchro on or offf???

and what about continuous??? on or off??

thanks guyz, the hosa has arrived!!

[F.O.Bean]

one more, how do i know the jb3 is recording in 48k??? it doesnt show it, and id like to record in 48k, rather than 44.1k

thanks,
  bean

Hold--I don't have my JB3 next to me, but try pushing the power button (a short push and not a long push) and the hold dialogue should come up.  If it doesn't, then you can't hold while recording.

Synchro is for when you have it hooked up to something like a CD player, and when you push "play" on the CD player the JB3 will start the recording at the same time.

I just answered the question about continuous in the past couple of days--go find that.

48/44--if you are recording via optical, when the recording is in progress it says what sample rate it is recording it.  If you are doing line in, you should already have selected that rate before the recording started.

Hope that helps!!

ahhh, the hold worked beautifully, thank you bro

ummm, i have the v3 set to 48k, ansr on, and it only shows 44.1k, no 48k

Ok Bean, the way I understand, the JB3 is getting the bit stream confused.  If it gets confused, it will record to 44.1k automatically, which sucks, because then your recording will sound either slow or fast (I think slow) and then you have to resample back to 48k, and that really sucks (and if you want to go to CD you have to resample AGAIN to 44k, which really really sux).

One thing I found when practicing with the optical out on my DVD player--make sure that your v3 is outputting a signal first--and THEN hit record on the JB3.  If the JB3 is recording with nothing from the v3, I think it's gonna screw you up.  Try it out.

[Brian Skalinder]

Karl -- couldn't you just change the WAV header to 48k instead of actually resampling?  Then you'd just have your normal 48k > 44.1k resample for CD, anyway.  No double-SRC necessary, I think.

[Karl]

I guess you could do that, but the information has been recorded at 44.1k, and thus you've already lost the quality you hoped to have at 48k.

Resampling between 44.1 and 48 either way is not a clean one, even in the best of conditions.  Since I listen to almost all of my stuff on CD, I will (for the time being) always record at 44.1k.  It is hard to notice the difference between 44.1 and 48, but when resampling either way you lose out worse than just recording at 44.1 in the first place.

[Brian Skalinder]

I guess you could do that, but the information has been recorded at 44.1k, and thus you've already lost the quality you hoped to have at 48k.

I think in this case the file header reads 44.1k, but the actual bits recorded are still 48k - I don't believe the JB3 actually *resamples* the incoming 48k to 44.1k.  Hence, changing the header would solve the problem without any need for resampling 44.1k > 48k.

Hey Bean - try changing the file header if this happens again and let us know your results?

[F.O.Bean]

yep,once i had the 48k locked on the v3, i pluggged the jb3 optical in then and it showed 48k w/ out a problem, thanks guyz!!!
