I was hoping someone could help me out finding some information. I just recieved a Jayhawks FM broadcast from Texas. It is dated 12/5/02, and it features a scaled down version of the band...only 3 members.
Does anyone have the venue & city this performance took place?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mitchell

Since upgrading to the new firmware in December, I have recorded about 15
hours with no dropped samples.

Is that using analog or digital input? If digital, what is the next
device up the chain, providing the optical signal? And how do you know
there are not dropped samples-- testing audibly, or by actual file
comparisons?
Thanks for any additional details you can provide!

What does "studio quality" mean? (answer: nothing) If you mean 44.1k/16
or 48k/16 digital recordings, the Nomad does it and does it very well.
>never "miss a sample,"
False. I've heard dropouts and mysterious diginoise from DAT masters, and
you have too. Rare, but happens.
>rarely lose the whole recording (can't say never),
It's happened to me with a relatively new, clean D8, more than once. It has
not yet ever happened on the Nomad, in over 25 live recordings. I have a
feeling it never will, although I can't prove it, which is a better track
record than my D8.
>record for 6 hours or
>more on one set of batteries (and one tape in LP mode),
The Nomad will record for 19 hours straight, and will record that 19 hours
at 48k/16, something no DAT machine ever made will do. I have personally
run a Nomad JB3 recording from my full rig in my living room for NINE hours
on the internal batteries (2). If you like making LP mode DATs, more power
to you. Tear 'em up.
> and have
>good VU meters.
The VU meters on the JB3 are lousy, but A) usable and more importantly, B)
completely unnecessary when used with a pre/A>D with meters.

It's nice that you have an opinion (they're like a-holes, as the saying
goes), but your opinion is at least as uninformed as the others people have
posted of late.
Listen to me: I have used the Jukebox 3 to record 27 live shows 2-4 hours
in length over the last three months. I have never seen the power indicator
on the thing below 33% in a concert setting (which is for only the first of
the two internal batteries). I have used both the analog and digital inputs
at different times and NEVER heard an audible artifact of ANY KIND EVER in
any recording I have made with it. It works. Well. And one can dump a
whole show three hours long to one's hard drive in less than five minutes.
You're welcome to your opinions - I'm just trying to tell you that you are
wrong, because I've been there, done that, and am very, very satisfied with
the results.
I'll be running the JB3 onstage for a number of Kimock Band shows in the
next two weeks, in parallel with a D8 and laptop out of a UA5. I'll be
offering the recordings for comparison when I'm done - consider yourself
invited to see if you can tell the difference.

Hello everyone,
If anybody got recordings of these shows please email me. I would like to
set up a trade if I can.
Thanks.
