When I do 4-channel on two MDs, I use a party clicker for synch. Then
I line up the tracks based on knowing where the clicker was re the
four mics, i.e. slipping the tracks in Pro Tools to create the
appropriate time delays (approximating 1 ms per foot). When I do long
takes I click again at the end so I can compensate for the time drift
of one machine against the other by varispeeding one pair of tracks.
