The Dir functions allow you to load songs to play back. Hit the Dir button and you can use the two left soft keys to scroll through the
directories. Hit OK to select a directory or Esc to exit.
Once you've selected a directory, like the default "REC" directory, you can navigate from song to song by hitting the two left soft keys.
Note, to fast scroll through the songs press and hold the soft key. This is especially useful for larger RAM cards.
Mark and Delete Mark functions
The Mark and Delete Mark (DelM) functions allow you to navigate your recordings faster. By placing marks in a recording you can
"jump" from one part of the recording to another and loop playback between two marks so that you can learn faster.
Mark –
Hit Play and listen to the recording. When you want to add a marker hit the Mark button. Keep listening and adding Marks
as the song plays.
DelM –
Deletes the Mark you are currently located at.

Move to the next mark. Stop playback by hitting the Stop key. Hit the Stop and Fast Forward
to advance forward from mark to mark. Note: The stop location is given a temporary mark so you can go back to that
location.

Move to the prior mark. Stop playback by hitting the Stop key. Hit the Stop and Rewind
to the prior mark.

– Loop function. Mark two locations that you want to use as your loop start and stop marks. At the second (stop) mark hit the
Rewind
and Fast Forward
keys at the same time and playback will loop between the two marked times. The display
will show (~) showing that the JamHub TourBus is looping between two marks. To stop looping hit the Stop button.
[Note: Looping can be intiated anywhere in the loop region after the first marker. For example, if you have a mark at 7 seconds
and one at 17 seconds you can initaite looping at 10 seconds.]

FAQs
An updated list of FAQs can be found on our web site, www.JamHub.com. And for help with those "not so frequently asked" questions,
come to the JamHub community section of our website where there are musicians, engineers and tech support folks answering
questions that have come up since we printed the manual.
No questions? Great, we've done a good job but please come by our community section, who knows, maybe you can help someone
else with their JamHub.
Q: Can I use a JamHub with acoustic drums?
A: Yes! In fact, things still sound clear and controlled. Just hang a mic or two above the drum kit and plug that into the JamHub.
Or, use a small mixer and three mics to create a great stereo drum sound and connect that mix to your JamHub. We recommend
a mic near the snare, one near the toms/ride and a kick drum. Pan the two area mics left and right, put the kick down the middle
and send the stereo mix into one of the JamHub channels. Sweet.

Q: If I use acoustic drums, will the JamHub make them quiet?
A: No. You'll still have to deal with loud drums, but you can still keep the overall volume lower if there isn't a loud bass amp, guitar
amp(s), keyboard amp and PA speakers. So while this isn't as quiet as electronic drums, you can still prevent that next level
key simultaneously to rewind
of volume that comes with amps competing with each other in a room.
Q: How do I use an acoustic guitar with a JamHub?
A: Does it have a pickup? If no, put a microphone in front of the guitar and plug the microphone into an open mic input on the
JamHub studio.
A: Does it have a pickup? If yes, and you want to go direct, grab a mono-to-stereo jack and plug it into the guitar end of your stereo
cable. You might find that with one of the new "for acoustics" Direct Inject (DI) boxes or floor pedals, that you like the sound and
control of the acoustic better. There are a lot of engineering reasons for this (impedance matching is the biggest of them) and that's
why DI boxes are used by the pros. If you're going to play an acoustic, you're going to need a DI box someday.
Q: What instruments do not work with a JamHub?A
A: We don't know of any yet. There may be some out there, but we haven't found them. Some companies have dedicated their
existence to creating instruments that can be played anywhere and anytime... some even have an electronic accordion line
(not just one model, but an entire line of them!!!). Horn players can use silent practice inserts and cases to quiet horns and create
a headphone signal that you can send to your JamHub. Guitars, bass, drums, hand percussion, keyboards, accordions, wind
instruments, even a thermine will work! Just look for a headphone jack on the gear and you're ready to start jamming quietly with
your JamHub studio.
Q: Do you have any tips for new users?
A: Yes. JamHubs are completely new. That's because we introduced them just this year. And since we invented them, we know a lot
about how to make it easy to get started. Here are our top tips:
1.
Use good TRS (Stereo) cables and plug the cable going to the JamHub instrument jack directly into your headphone output
on your modeling amp, keyboard or electronic drums.
2.
Get headphone cable extensions so you can move around as much as you want
3.
Use good headphones for good listening. The JamHub is acoustically transparent. It won't change your sound. So if your
headphones lack quality, the JamHub can't fix it.
4.
Get a microphone for each player, even if you don't sing. Once you put on the headphones, it's easier to communicate
if everyone has a mic.
5.
Guitarists: a modeling amp with a foot pedal allows you to control the volume of your sound so you can turn up for leads.
Keyboard player: use your instrument's volume control to do the same.
