Title: NJ3 Recordings gone wrong
Post by: hoobash on February 29, 2004, 05:50:02 PM: I would like to hear some Nj3 recording with glitches in them. I would like to here what they sound like. Is it clicks and pops(can be fixed) or drop outs?? If anyone has anything that they can post a small mp3 that would be cool

Post by: InfiniteOhms on February 29, 2004, 11:04:33 PM: i can send you a MP3 ... but the problem was'nt the JB3 realy, the optical miniplug was not in all the way, other then that i have been audible error free for 100+ hrs of recording.

PM if you wish to hear some digi-pops. ;)

It seems to be more a function of bad cable, or incompatible input signal.

i'll have to go thru my collection and see if i have any examples...i try to edit them out tho, but i might be able to find something.

Hmm, do you think if you don't defrag the drive it might cause those kinds of errors? Just wondering. I haven't done any taping with my njb3 yet, but i will be using the line and was thinking a defrag may be in order before i do such a thing. Not sure if the previous owner ever defragged the drive as they sent it to me filled with 15 gigs of mp3's.

Post by: Ed. on March 01, 2004, 10:11:33 AM: when i started to notice this happening, i'd format the drive before going out on a taping adventure. whether it be for a weekend or just one show. if i couldn't get the files to a computer, then i'd let it slide, but i'd try to transfer stuff as soon as i could, then i'd format before i went out to the field again.

i never had a problem with it when i did that. *shrug*
