Topic: highest JB3 sample/bit rate?

[utahtaper]

I sent mine 24/96 last night and had major issues. Is 16/48 ok or must it be 16/44?

[Diggin]

16/48 is what I send to mine and it seems to work fine.

[F.O.Bean]

yep, 16/48 has been GOLDEN out of my jb3;-)

but i am heavily thinking of switching from 48k to 44.1k for the resample shortcut;-)

no worries, ive even sent mine a 96k recording from the v3 and it didnt sound like samples were dropped, but i didnt look at waveforms, so i really dont know, even tho there were no audible glitches that i heard

[phishn]

i'd rather have the ua-5 decide what should be in the 44.1 stream than resampling software so i continue to use 44.1 directly

[F.O.Bean]

well, wavelab and other 'top quality' software programs should be efficient enuf to do just a phine job on resampling, but i feel greg on this one, its not a quality issue really, its just a PITA!!

I'm 99.9% sure you can't actually record 24/96 to the JB3 - you can send it the signal but it'll just truncate to 16 bits. There's a post way back when these first came out about someone's experiences with 24/96...

[F.O.Bean]

def believable dave, just never tested that extensively

Yea my JB3 could read the signal but when I played it back it was extremely slow.

what about 16/96?

what about 16/96?

when i first got my jb3, i had a ua5, and the ua5 was accidently set to 96k when i fired the jb3 up and connected it

i didnt know that i couldnt just turn the knob on the ua5 to change the sample rate the jb3 was getting(the jb3 sticks with whatever sample rate it first gets) untill you restart it

it played back really slow on the jb3, but once i transferred it and changed the sample rate in SF, all was good, no noticeable dropouts

There was some discussion and testing a year or so ago.  

• The JB3 truncates 24 bits to 16
• it is bit accurate at 44.1 or 48
• it records at 96 but many samples are dropped - you can make the playback sound right by changing the sampling rate manually (don't convert the sampling rate).  If you save it that way it will re-write the header properly.

Yeah, I also just do 44.1....mainly cause I am a lazy bastard ;p

44.1 here also. T+ for team lazy

while we're on the subject, let me just clarify something. When you select WAV as the recording format, it will lock into whatever the signal is, right? You don't have to actually set the sampling rate is anywhere, right?

Has anyone ever had trouble getting the JB3 to lock onto a signal? If so, what did you do (in what order)?

Thanks,
