drifting so badly that, for example, it took 3:05 to play back a 3:00
song. I can't imagine anyone's playing to be of such exactness that the
lack of sample-accurate playback sync would possibly be noticed??? If
you are overdubbing over drum tracks, can you truthfully say that your
note start times are within 1/48,000th of a second??
Typical errors for cheap cards are less than 0.1%. But that still
means 0.18 seconds after 3 minutes.
