For any of you JB3 owners out their I have a question for you. In any of your recordings so far have you had a small section that sound staticy or cracky??? I recorded the YMSB show at Grassroots yesterday using the JB3, and I have a section of about 25 seconds or so where the sound is very cracky sounding. From what I can tell the rest of the recording sounds perfect, just this little bit. I know that there was no technical difficulty with my rig, because I was splitting my optical signal and recording on MD as a backup and it sounds perfect during that same section.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be so I can make sure it doesn't happen again?

Here is something else I found weird, which I don't if anyone else has had this problem or not. If I pull the file from the JB3 and then try to open it in CDWave, I get the following message:
File header reports a size that is different than the system reports. Do you want to adjust the size? (Yes to override header, No to trust header, Cancel to abort).
Now if I open it in Sound Forge and just hit "Save As" and then rename it, it will open in CDWave fine. I would appreciate any input that you could give.

I think I may have answered my first question. It appears that I didn't have my optical cable connected as tightly as I should have. I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in for Les and Rusted Root and both of those recordings seem fine from what I have heard.
I still don't have an answer to my second question though regarding the File Header. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if this is or has happened to them. And if you were able to stop it.
Thanks,
Gary

Just click "no" to trust the header and you're good to go
