Additional TourBus features: recording functions

The JamHub TourBus model has the ability to record your jam sessions directly onto a removable SD RAM card. Once you're done

jamming, you can play the recording back right from the TourBus, or simply take the SD RAM card to your computer and move the

files for sharing and reviewing with the band (or others). The TourBus recordings are stereo and written in CD quality audio (16-bit

44.1kHz).

There are just a few things you need to know about the recording capability of the TourBus to get started. First, the R section's

SoleMix controls are where you'll create the mix for recording. If the person who's going to manage the recorded mix is also one of the

musicians, they should connect their headphones into section 1 and use the 1–R switch to quickly flip back and forth between their own

mix and the recording mix (R). See the 1–R switch section on page 13 or more details.

Menu Structure and Soft Keys

The soft keys are not soft to the touch, but are

software dependent. That is, their functions

change as you are using JamHub's recording

capabilities. This is similar to soft keys on your

phone or computer screen. Just watch the LCD

for clues as to what the keys do.

Transport (recording) functions:

The transport functions are designed like those

you've probably used before with a few special

capabilities to make your recordings easier. Let's

go through them one at a time.

Rewind key: Hit once and the device

rewinds the current song at 5 seconds per

second. Double click the button and the device

rewinds at a fast speed (10 times faster).

Triple click the button and it takes you to the

beginning of the current song. Triple click within

the first 3 seconds of a song and you will be

taken to the prior song.

Fast Forward key: Hit once and the device

advances through the current song at 5 seconds

per second. Double click the button and the

device advances at a fast speed (10 times faster).

Triple click the button and it takes you to the

next song.

Stop: This key stops the play, recording, fast forward and rewind functions.

Play: This key is used for playback of what's been recorded.

Record: This key is used to arm the JamHub to record.

When you hit the record key once, you'll see the button's outer ring starts to blink red. The LCD will say "Standby". This means the

JamHub is ready to record. Hit the Record

key again and you'll see the red outer ring changes to solid red. This tells you that the

JamHub is recording. Hit the Stop button to stop the recording process. The LED will turn off indicating that it is no longer armed

for recording.

When you hit the Stop button your TourBus will ask you if you want to keep the recording. Hit the soft key button under the word

"YES" to keep the file and hit the "NO" soft key to disregard the recording

When you are recording you will see "New" over the third soft key button. To start a new song, simply hit "New" and the TourBus will

save your existing recording and start a new file. This helps you find the songs after you are finished with your jam. Having many small

files is easier to manage than one massive file to listen through so use this button often.

The red ring around the Record

button is designed to be viewable from a distance. Simply look over at the JamHub while you're

playing to know if it's recording your jam. If there is a solid red light, you're recording. If the light is blinking or off, you're not recording.

Left Brain:

Recording to the built-in recorder creates a stereo recording

with a bit depth of 16-bit and a sample rate of 44.1kHz, known

as "CD Quality" recording. Today's studio standards are

around 24bit/96kHz (some go up to 192kHz). So we're giving

you a very high quality "sketch pad" for recording. A JamHub

is not the right piece of gear for creating your next album.

A studio with a great engineer is the right place for that.

But using a JamHub to get the songs right and tight first is the

best way to prepare you for the studio.

Home menu:

STOP @ or jam001.wav = current state of the recording device is "stop" at the time shown in the counter or the device shows

the filename of the current song, for example, jam007.wav

00:00:00 = the counter shows the current playback location in hours:minutes:seconds for the current song

Util -- utility menu soft key

Dir -- directory menu soft key

Mark or DelM -- mark a location while recording or "DelM" allows you to delete a marker

Metronome

Let's go through the Metronome functions. Hit the leftmost soft key below "Met".

The display now looks like this:

BPM=100 –

This is the default tempo. You can change the tempo by pressing the soft keys under the BPM indicator. The + key will

increase the tempo and the – key will decrease the tempo. The tempo range is 30 BPM to 240 BPM (just for you crazy

speed metal bands). If you hold the button down, the BPM advances faster. Or click the button to change the BPM

one increment at a time.

4/4 –

This is the type of beat. You can change it to another type by hitting the "More" key. We'll go into this in more

detail below.

More –

This key is where you can change the beat type or you can tap in a tempo.

Tap –

This button allows you to tap the tempo the metronome will follow. Simply tap in a tempo and the

JamHub metronome follows your lead and displays the current BPM. Hit the Esc button to return to

the Met main menu where you can fine tune the BPM using the + and – key.

Type –

Hitting this key changes the beat type. There are 9 types of tempos in the JamHub metronome: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,

5/4(23), 5/4(32), 7/8(223), 7/8(232) and 7/8(322) where the numbers in the parenthesis disclose the accent beats

locations. Keep hitting Type to scroll through the options.

Esc –

Takes you back to the prior menu.

Utility

Tread carefully here. You've got power in the Util menu, so use it wisely. There are three functions in the Util menu:

Format SD Card, Show Capacity and LCD Contrast. You can switch between them by using the + and – keys. Hit OK to enter the

selected function or Esc to exit.

Format SD Card –

Use this function to rewrite an SD memory card that's been damaged. This will wipe out all data on the

card and in the process may fix a card that has been damaged by a cell phone or magnet. Some damage

is irreparable, but the JamHub will do it's best to fix the card if possible. Hit OK to reformat the card or Esc

to leave the Util menu.

Show Capacity –

This function shows how much room is left on the SD card in Gigabytes and percentage used.

LCD Contrast –

Hit the + and – key to change the contrast level of the LCD.

Right Brain:

The JamHub records a stereo mix that is the same quality

as a CD. If you're into creating music you realize that songs,

not sample rates, equal success. So focus on writing great

songs and practice them using your JamHub silent rehearsal

studio. Once you and the band have the songs where you

want them, you're ready to head to the recording studio, and

with the help of a great recording engineer, build an album

you'll be proud of.
