Hi Duncan,
I'm not using any of these post-recording functions so, in theory, the
second recording should start immediately after the first has ended.
Can you think of anything else that might delay the second recording?
The delay is exactly 1 minute every time, so I'm inclined to think
it's something inherent in the code rather than due to the process
waiting for an external event to complete (e.g., post-recording
function).
Thanks for your help.
