</div>if you can't hear the click caused by an xrun, then you probably<br>
should give up mixing :)<br></blockquote><div><br>ah ah ah, yes of course... anyway I can't swear my mixing experience will never cross the border :-)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

more seriously, it is possible for there to be an xrun without any<br>
audible effect (though this is rare). the clicks that they cause are<br>
very similar (most of the time) to those caused by sample clock sync<br>
issues (e.g. a bad word clock cable or connector), and i don't know<br>
anyone who would pay to work in a studio with such a configuration<br>
(until it was fixed).<br>

I bought a condenser mic (AKG Perception 120) to record some acoustic stuff at home. <br>I recorded a session - <a href="http://www.catastocen.apat.it/st_james_infirmary_blues.mp3">st james infirmary blues</a> - and used the punch in/out feature for the guitar solo and for parts the two vocal tracks (I had a cold... and still got it)<br>
<br>Well, there's an xrun every time the recording starts, ie after the locator passes the punch in marker... can you hear it? I can give you the exact timing.<br>I also got other session (with the full band playing) but I deleted the xrun markers... and now I really can't gues where they occurred<br>
