From pause to record there usually (perhaps always) is a delay and after a while pause automatically switches to stop, or at least should do it or do something else to protect the material. To get everything in perfect sync _and_ ready for record/punch in, SMPTE sync usually is done by starting a few seconds before the punch in. To get members of a band in sync is done in a similar way, somebody e.g. knocks with drumsticks, IOW for recording we humans also don't start with the recording directly after switching from pause to record play, we listen for at least one bar (at 120 BPM it's 2 seconds), before we start playing the instrument we want to record. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
