I remember doing that. And if I remember correctly the editing was controlled by an Apple II. You had to cue the two machines (one playing, one recording) manually, and then the Apple would make both rewind the same number of frames, start them, and trigger record at +/- the right time. There was a good chance the edit failed, and if that happened you had to try again a few frames earlier. This ofter meant you had to redo the previous edit as well. We only used it to clean up live concert recordings, anything else would have been hell. I much preferred cutting and splicing tape... Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
