Abstract
A method and apparatus for buffer management for digital audio recording/playback wherein a digital signal processor, memory and appropriate interfacing facilitate storage and retrieval of digital audio data samples continuously across non-contiguous areas of memory to achieve substantially seamless flow of audio, as well as precise fade-in, fade-out and cross-fading between channel events, all as required in such critical synchronizing applications as film dubbing. A GUI interface and recorder controller communication with the processor, memory and a recording media may also be included.
