There are two time-related issues with this. Firstly, the two devices may not start recording at exactly the same time. The tracks will then have to be realigned after recording, which is easy enough if they all start with an externally generated sync signal. Secondly, the ADC clocks of the devices can (will) drift relative to each other eventually leading to a buffer overflow or underflow since Sox assumes all inputs have synchronised samples. There is no easy fix for this. -- Måns Rullgård ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
