avoid the reload OS option, you could be in some trouble if you click this one.  i actually did it when i first got mine by mistake, had to reinstall all the firmware and drivers on it from scratch.  it was a mess.

thanks for the heads up ed

I have recorded a hand full of shows this year using AKG 393 > UA5 > CO2 > optical >JB3. All recorings went fine except for the last one. I had dropped samples all over the place. Is the Hosa ODL-276 the best replacement for the CO2? (I'm guessing that the CO2 is the problem).

i have no experience with the hosa, but from what i remember reading...everyone that uses it, loves it.

I had a bad experience stealthing a couple of weeks ago (@ Velvet Revolver).

Hostile (well maybe just overexcited) crowd, knocking into me all the time, yelling shit at me because I wasn't moshing, horribly hot, you get the picture.

Nomad JB3 shut down on me four times, ruining the recording.

Like I said, environmental problems, most of the time the Nomad is fine. Made a sweet recording of The Stills two days ago, which almost makes up for it

i taped the yeah yeah yeahs and they had the locust open up fot them - holy shit, wild crowd.  all i did was tell the guys bumping into me that i was taping.  they stopped immediately and before i knew it i had blockers.

For the record, i'm almost certain the stills are open taping.  you could probably even get a board patch if you really wanted one.

Bit hard asking people to be quiet when you're stealth taping and your mics are right below your chin! In any case the VR audience were so dumb I think it would have made it worse..

The Stills may be open taping (actually, I'd like to know for sure, and would love to send them a copy), but all venues that I know about in the UK are no-taping, hence almost all my recordings are stealth. To be honest I can't imagine that a board patch would have sounded better than the room acoustics at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, really amazing place.

[Ed.]

didn't know you were in the uk, yeah from what i hear - its a bit harder to tape over there.

when i taped the locust i just pointed at my mics and at my nomad and people got the hint.  however after about 5 minutes into the set i stopped taping cuz i thought the music was crap.  then after showing about 20 friends what i was subjected to, i started getting into it.  now i really wish i woulda taped.  oh well, shoulda woulda coulda.
