Here's another example of why still using DAT as a backup can come in very handy:
I was taping Sunday night, set my levels during the soundcheck, and then powered everything down. Fast forward 2 hours later to showtime. I (being the bonehead that I am) turn everything back on, start recording on the D100 and the JB3. About 30 mins into the set I noticed the "Max Record Time" on the JB3 screen said 10 hours. "Hmmmm", I thought...that's interesting. I'd just updated the firmware the night before, and thought that might have upped the record time.
Then I realized what had happened. After powering it down, I never re-set the recording format...I was pulling the show at 128k MP3!
Needless to say, the FLACs are from the D100>Audiophile 24/96 transfer.
holy shit, howd you fill up 10 hrs of music w/ it set on mp3
No, it only filled up like an hour or so (however long the actual recording was), but the Max Record Time display in the lower right hand corner that normally displays 3:00 when recording 44.1 WAV, showed 10:00 when recording in MP3.
