Does this really help? You could just let your recording roll all the
way. The way the timemachine feature works right now you'll likely have
weird issues when you record song after song since the current
implementation doesn't seem to clear the ringbuffer or whatever it uses.
Try recording a couple of seconds, stop recording and start the next
recording within the pre-recording buffer length (10 sec. default) to
see what I mean. It can be a bit confusing and requires editing, or
worse.
