is it possible to set the level on your unit (i know that it is on such
units as the sony JE-520)? If not you could always use a noise gate. What
this does is basically turn the signal off when it gets below a certain
threshold (which you set) and turns it back on when it rises above it, if
you set it to just above the surface noise level, it would bring the signal
on when the music starts, activating the track mark.
