Topic: NOMAD Jukebox for recording

[jdh263]

Someone asked a question on another message board about recording with the NOMAD Jukebox.  From what i have read i thought only the jb3 could be used for recording, but after looking around i found this:
Line-In for direct stereo audio recording in WAV format from external devices

so i am guessing there is no optical in, but this would work for an analog recording.

any thoughts on this?

Think it drops samples and has a short time limit, i'd just stick with the jb3, seems as though everyone is selling them for the flash tracker these days.

i just saw that it is powered by 8 AA batteries which might make it weigh more and effect the run time.

and i am sticking with the jb3

The post you saw may have been mine.  I actually picked up a Nomad JB 6G and tried recording w/ it and well, it sucked!  It basically creates a whole bunch of short .wav files that then have to be put together in post production and the battery life was more than horrible, even w/ brand new fully charged batteries from Nomad.  Sold it on ebay and made my money back plus $20 though!  Waiting to save up for my JB3....

Yes, the Nomad Jukebox C.  It splits files into 15 minute segments, but only uses 4 AA batteries, not 8.  A full charge on 2200mAh batteries will get you about 2.5-3 hours continuous record time.  It isn't so bad to get started, but lugging that thing around gets old real quick.  The JB3 with 2 batteries is your best bet.  If you want the C I have one available for sale.
