broadcast, the first few seconds of material

ascertain the contents and press the record
button. To prevent the loss of this material,
the Time Machine Recording feature
constantly stores 2 seconds of the most recent
audio data in a buffer memory. When you
start recording the sound source, the
recording actually starts with the 2 seconds of
audio data stored in the buffer memory in
advance, as shown in the illustration below:
