cursor starts late, a few moments after track is detected

Post by bvg »

After I select "detect tracks" (after recording a tape) I notice that occasionally the cursor shows after the track starts on the timeline by a second or so. I.E. there's a delay before the sensor determines that a new track has started. I then have to adjust the cursor slightly and edit each track. Is there an adjustment that I can make to keep this from happening at all?

Hi,

The automatic track detection is not an exact science. It's based on detected silence and this can vary wildly from recording to recording. On one extreme, some recordings won't have any silence at all between tracks and on the other there is silence in the middle of tracks. That's why we have the "preview" option, so you can listen and manually tweak the track beginnings and endings.
