Editing is required in either way. Normally my recordings are not concerts
where one songs follows the next (this I record in one single take but also
with timemachine), but services and the like where its 3min music followed by
5min talking followed by 6min music followed by 30min talking and so on. And
when I am only interested in the music, I only record the music.
Last time I used it and actually did a stop-restart within the timemachine-
ringuffer, it seemed to just have a smaller pre-roll, basically the stuff since
the last stop. But my memory is failing there...
Have fun,
Arnold
