thanks for the info.

The weird thing is normally the head of the waveform chases the record marker.

left to right
Wave > slight gap > record line


in this case it was backwards and the record line was about 5 seconds behind the front of the wave.

record line > 3..5 seconds of wave > head of wave

Looked at the docs, but I don't even see a screen shot of what I'm seeing. Maybe it's been there, but I haven't noticed.

In 2.2.2, I see red caret in the timeline and a vertical red line trailing my waveform being recorded. (It's moving, it's not clipping)

What does that indicate?

Thank you!
