Title: Finally taped with JB3 last nite.
Post by: svenkid on February 20, 2006, 04:39:48 PM
And it was surprisingly easy, although I did have a buddy walk me through it at first. I don't like how you have to set its levels, thats weak, but I taped it till it hit the 3 hr mark, in retrospect, I should have stoppeed, and recorded a new file for set 2, and noty just paused it for set break.

My battery pack worked, thanks RowJimmy, and now all I need to do is to get the file jazz onto my harddrive cpu.

I ran it optical in, wav, 44.1

If you press the FFD button when recording it will automatically save the current track and start a new one. I used to do that between sets.

 ???

do you mean problems with the level meters  ??? if you are running optical in you should not be able to change the levels at all

good call, I just assumed I was changing the level by using the vol. up down buttons, and I didn't watch it during the show, if optical acts like digital with dat, then it's golden!

+t

does it take long between or is it fast, i am thinking if byu chance you needed to do it during the show so not to lose the recording or waste more time stopping and going back to start a new one

using the FF button is much quicker IME, usually it starts at about 3 sec or so, so I am assuming it is still capturing somewhat while transitioning to the new track. YMMV

great, now I can borrow your MT! My M1 ate the tape at beginning of set 2 for McCoy! I've gotta send it off and move into something with no moving parts.
 If I could figure out how to give you a +t, I'd give you one! I'll buy you a beer instead.

supposedly, its a seamless track switch, BUT i havent ever tested to see it its a flawless switch, i remember hearing that you lose a few samples, but if done inbetween songs, youre golden :)

lol, I think my misguided enthusiasm has hit a snag, when my jb3 is connecting to my cpu

my notmad Xtreamer is saying:

"your jukebox is not connected. Connect using notmad manager in the systray"

Im not sure what this means, but Im on the case... >:D

OK
I know everyone has been holding their breath, so suffice it to say, I borrowed a friend of mine's jb3 software disc, and I figured out how to import the tracks to my cpu

problem>solution

Nicely done. Glad to have been a help.

in case anyone was wondering the answer. what it wanted you to do was 'right click' on the jb3 icon and select 'connect'. I have a JB3 using notmad too... though i still get an XP message about 3 minutes later saying there is something wrong with one of my usb devices. D'oh, i unplugged it!!
