Question:
So you do each two tracks in a separate pass? Don't you have trouble time-aligning them by the end of the track? Maybe I misunderstood your process.

Ah yes You make a very good point there,and I was waiting for someone to ask this.I normally use a quartz locked direct drive TT to transfer discs. Over the space of 1 track at a time i find the 'drift' is only 1/4 sec or so as a maximum.With that amount of slight drift,worst you get is the rear channels have a slight echo, and with the 'rough' SQ quad mixes of the day, it doesn't show that much! It's suprizing how little it actually drifts.

250ms is quite significant, especially since it drifts in both directions, most likely. Isn't there a way of extracting all four tracks simeultaneously? Even if you could run two PCs or two iterations of a stereo program--then syncing would be more acceptable. "Slight echo" is actually quite significant, I suppose. Good work.
