I'm not certain what Gene is getting at.

The display comes from reading the input, right? As it is reading (creating the digital form) it both re-translates it to viewable form (graphic), AND stores it on disc (records it).

Seems like it's going to be already starting to put onto the disc before it translates out to the graphic for display. ARe you wanting to put a DELAY into the recording portion?

I know if you want to see the input on the Goldwave, you can turn on the monitoring and not turn on the recording to allow you to preview something. It DOES require you to stop the tape/lp/cd-rom and start again before you start the record function.

Is that what you're objecting to? The starting over again? I can't see how you can avoid it.
