Steve D mentioned an "irrational" fear of the punchin/punchout recording technique. Ron Parker and Cesare Marilungo commented-- Ron Parker wrote: > We definitely hear "bad" punches.

I'll try both approaches and hopefully I'll learn how to exploit both the digital-audio and MIDI punchin/punchout recording techniques. Regarding the digital audio (rather than MIDI) approach, I'll try to space the punchin and punchout points a little farther apart than I normally would, to give me a greater choice *after* re-recording the section as to exactly where I want the actual punch to occur. (I hadn't thought of that, obvious though it may now seem. ;-) Thank you, -sd -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Actual political quote-- "I resent your insinuendoes." ----------------------------------------------------------------
