Q5.11 - How do digital recorders handle selective synchronization?

Path: senator-bedfellow

This technique is what makes overdubbing possible. On an analog recorder, audio tracks are discrete entities, and the sync head is really just a stack of individual heads, any one of which is capable of recording or playing back.
