Recording analog in isn't really a problem for those who tape bands and stuff, but it is a problem for people who tape acoustic stuff. Like orchestra, or anything that's not amplified, or has lots of loud/quiet sections.
To compensate for a few bad recordings I made before I got a preamp, is I used wave plug-ins to get rid of that high-pitched hard drive noise.
Another thing that is not really mentioned in other threads about this problem--if you are running analog in on the jb3, and the backlight is on, it adds ANOTHER high pitched noise to the recording.
