Starting recording
with 6 seconds of
prestored audio data
— Time Machine Recording
When recording from an FM or satellite
broadcast, the first few seconds of material
are often lost due to the time it takes you to
ascertain the contents and press the record
button. To prevent the loss of this material,
the Time Machine Recording feature
constantly stores the most recent audio data
in a buffer memory. This lets you record the
sound from 6 seconds (12 seconds for
monaural recording) before starting
recording, as shown in the illustration below:
