Topic: How much music can a 6 GB Nomad hold?

[waltflanagansdog]

In wave format?  Or does one have to get the 20GB to record live shows with?

Thanks

A 6 gig nomad can hold 6 gigs.

There's a thread in the Archival Info section addressing audio file format / file size relationships.

A 6 gig nomad can hold 6 gigs.

So how much does a 10 gig hold?

Surely, you know the answer to that.

[waltflanagansdog]

Alright!  I expected that.

I guess the main question is, are these good enough to use for live recordings, or does one have to purchase the JB3?

[King Crimson]

You MUST purchase a JB3 to record.  The others dont have the capibility.

Thank you!

that's Not true , I own a JB3 and a Jukebox II (20gb version) I would assume the 6gb is the same aswell
The only diffrence I can find in the JB2 and the Jb3 is the Firwire compatiblity and a different Batt .
Both offer 16/48 recording option's.

I must warn ya though the Jb2 uses the batt's up pretty fast, so I would suggest building some sort of Batt sled to help ya power it,

and to answer your Original ?. A typical 2-3 disc mule show is a bit over a Gig, so you should be able to tape  a couple show's safely without having to upload them,

Per the NomadWorld JB2 specs, it only has a USB 2.0 (backwards compatiable) file transfer interface - no optical input, no analog input, no recording functionality.  Perhaps the specs or wrong or I'm misinterpreting them.

I saw this on the 6GB unit:

**1 stereo minijack line input for recording **

Would this be suitable for live shows, or does the "minijack" suck for recording?

[jpschust]

so what about the 20 gig?  sorry had to ask :-)

if your on a Budget , Jukebox 6gb is the way to go Vs JB3 or a cheap DAT , i would though suggest if your going to do much recording to get the jb3 , just for the batt issue. otherwise ya could live with the USB upload's.
