I would turn this option on when recording, and if a track is interrupted in the middle somewhere, re-record starting at that track. For post-production mastering (which you need to get the most out of your raw recorded material) there is jamin, but how to do post-production mastering is a bit too big a topic for an email (as I understand it, there are plenty of folks out there which will offer you multiple-year courses in the subject for a considerable fee). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
