Re: Echoplex DP instant replay

[Ken Hawkins <ken@rosewoodblues.com>]

have you tried setting a recording threshold? you can set it to only 
record once an audio threshold is reached. of course you have to press 
record the first time. i have doen this by setting the threashold on the 
EDP and hitting the record button. i haven't just left it record enabled 
and then seen if the recording stopped once the audio falls below the 
threshold (interesting if it can be implemented in verions V). i don't 
think this will get exactly where you are heading but it might help.
