I have journalling on on my audio drive, and I only have a 10 second wait after recording 16 track takes. Stephen.

Chris, I think the redraws are high resolution overviews for the sample editor to use. PT, Cubase/Nuendo & most other DAWs I've seen seem to only need the the original overview created as the files are recorded. Howard

Yeah, that's defenitely something to wonder about. But: A) the waveforms drawn during recording are just a really draft approximation. And b), because of that, drawing them should cause minimal CPU overheads, so perhaps it's just one of several ways to put more focus (or priority) on the actual audio recording. On the other hand, a lot of other hosts are drawing accurate (even sample accurate, ahem...) waveforms on the fly while recording, so it can't be that much of a tough thing. Regards Sascha

I can dig that Logic would have to redo it since it wont do sample accurate editing in the Arrange anyways, makes sense to have to redraw another copy for elsewhere. But still, PT and others do sample accurate right there in the main window and they only do the drawing once while recording is going on.. But perhaps this is one of those areas why people claim PT is so much more efficient for audio recording who knows.. Maybe Logic and all its features just require too much overhead so they figured split it into seperate tasks to avoid those lovely CPU overloads while recording? -- Chris http://www.monotrematamusic.com http://www.myspace.com/monotremata http://www.descentrecords.com

I don't know about Pro Tools, but in Logic the image that is created afterwards is more accurate than the one drawn during recording. Also, during recording it's just blurted out to the screen rather than creating a proper graphics object, which explains why the during-recording-preview disappears as soon as the arrange window has to be redrawn. So it would seem Logic tries not to waste any time during recording on stuff like that. Maurits.
