(R03) Pre Record
When Pre Record is on and the PMD580 is in record-pause,
it ’listens’ to the selected audio input(s) and continuously
buffers 2 seconds of audio. When recording begins, the 2
second pre record buffer is written at the beginning of the
new track. The 2 seconds give you time to start recording
without missing the first seconds of audio.
