Do you have an input device? If so, what is it?
What are you trying to record?
What sort of computer?

That will make no difference.

+1 for it working like my tape deck and my old VCR Note that I am not suggesting that we change the current default behaviour. I'm agreeing with Gale that it would be useful to have both behaviours (two buttons); "Stop Here" (stop and set cursor) and "Stop and Rewind" (the curre...

A user may only be looking at the buttons. If "Stop" only returns to the original cursor position and "Stop and Set Cursor" only sets the cursor at (roughly) the audio position, then each button has no conditional - it always does the same. The buttons look much like the buttons...

@Edgar 1) Do you know anything about writing LADSPA plug-ins (and making them work on Windows)? 2) Have you tested "Repair" for the effect of changing the maximum order of the least squares regression (currently hard coded at 50)? I would expect a significant increase in speed if that numb...

You are suggesting a conditional behaviour for the Stop button rather than having it do one understood thing. The behaviour is conditional whichever way you do it: Current behaviour: If playback is stopped while Paused (condition) then stop and return cursor to previous play-from position. Proposed...
