I cannot imagine what the technical answer is right now but the Gods
Of Myth need to figure out how to automate this.

I see this as the next major issue that will effect everyone going
forward. I suspect there are lots of Myth users, sitting quietly out
there, using a bit of analog recording, and maybe not even reading
this list, that are going to have a hard, hard time with this when
forced.

My thanks to people on this list, most notably Brad Fuller, for
getting me to the point where I've managed to make a few automated
recordings with my HDHR. However I still only have just a few channels
mapped.

This is WAY too difficult!

Cheers,
