I wouldn't want to guess where the take should have been by automatically sliding the track back. You also loose out on listening to what you're playing. It takes a little more time to do the 2 passes, but at least you'll know what you played is in the right place.

If I'm understanding this correctly, couldnt you just record the DI out take and the repro head simultaneousely to separate tracks, then match the tracks and have a delay amount that will be consistent every time for that machine at that speed?

And since you need to hear what you are playing couldnt you route the DI out to an aux as a monitor for every track thereafter?
