Otherwise the track is always descynchronised somewhere along its length. Unless you're recording somewhere very difficult, I would think the error would be a fixed percentage. The machines are crystal controlled and not prone to wandering around randomly, even the cheap ones, they're just not expe...

I have never used one myself. That's important. I have a Shure X2U and I used it in the Audacity Overdubbing tutorial since it has (drum-roll) no latency monitoring as well as all the other features of the CEntrance unit. However, I would not recommend one not because of any shortcoming in technica...
