Re: [Traverso-devel] Some confirmations for the manual

Hi,

Talked about these things in irc with Niklas, but for the record, some notes 
here too:

The audiodevice knows only about channels. Channels are wrapped in Buses, so 
if one wants the first 4 channels to wrap into bus 1, he/she can assign it to 
a Track.
Recording is done with clips, _not_ with tracks, a track is just a placeholder 
for clips :-)

This approach certainly makes sense if you limit recordig to one clip only, 
but for multitrack, it's ehm, hard at best to handle I think....

Of course, the issue of 'one can see what he records' remains, steadily 
zooming sounds cool, the whole recording keeps visible all the time.....
