It is very important that you understand why digital clocking is important, if
you don't know already, especially if the concert is being filmed or videoed
at the same time. Please spend some time talking to people further down
the post production process to find out what they would like or recommend,
or consult our FAQs on the JoeCo website.
Timeline
Broadcast WAV files include a timecode stamp which marks the time of the
first sample of the file and helps re-sync the files in the post production
process. This can be derived from a source of Linear Timecode (LTC) or MIDI
timecode (MTC) or from the realtime clock built into the BBR.
The BBR can only read timecode (i.e. act as a timecode Slave) it cannot
generate timecode (i.e. act as a timecode Master). The BlackBox does not
chase timecode or lock to it; it stamps the first sample in each file with the
timecode and extrapolates from there.
Sample rates
Selectable between 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz
and 96kHz. At the double sample rate speeds,
the track count is divided by two turning the
MADI recorder into a 32 track machine
Wordsize:
24bit or 16bit. Choose 24bit unless you're
really short on disk space.
Control...
The BlackBox Recorder can accept commands from an external control
device such as a console or hardware controller.
Remote Mode:
The BBR can respond to open loop MIDI Machine Control (MIDI MMC)
protocol commands for transport controls and track arming/disarming. Note
though that the BBR has no MIDI return path (open loop) and so cannot
acknowledge the receipt of a MIDI command or display the song time on the
