Altough I fear a new round of discussions about clock-syncing coming up. So please, if you create homepage for the app, state the problem and the fact that your (nice!) app is not a solution but only a patch to the problem... Otherwise it might well be that people complain to you about their recordings sounding less good then with a real multichannel device. And people complaining here that with apps like yours, the market for multichannel devices should be dry within weeks... Have fun and keep on hacking, Arnold
