I agree about unprofessionality of xruns but what
about our ears?
I trust my ears and bless them, thanks to them I can appreciate music from
Ella to Jimi and so on... but do they betray me when I realize I can't
recognize an xrun in a mix? How long is an xrun? Can we hear it when it
occurs only 3,4,5 times in a mix?
if you can't hear the click caused by an xrun, then you probably
should give up mixing :)
more seriously, it is possible for there to be an xrun without any
audible effect (though this is rare). the clicks that they cause are
very similar (most of the time) to those caused by sample clock sync
issues (e.g. a bad word clock cable or connector), and i don't know
anyone who would pay to work in a studio with such a configuration
(until it was fixed).
