I thought I was clear on this, but maybe I'm not... it sounds to me the layback method is being suggested, in which case I would think sync would be a non issue, no? Everything would be in realtime to the DAW, just delayed the amount of time it takes to go from the sync head to the repro head. And that is easy to calculate (you could also record a direct signal track into the DAW and use it as a guide to adjust the layback tracks).

My thought was that the only thing the tapedeck's wow and flutter would create is slight pitch imperfections into the audio stream to the DAW, but the DAW's recording would remain constant -- and the layback track audio in the DAW would line up at both the beginning and the end (and everywhere in between) and would simply need one nudge to get the whole thing lined up. Is that right?

Thanks,
