I have to add - these little feature (pre-rec) is one of the smartest features of Nuendo. It is just something little… but this is just a daily lifesaver - even when only set to 2 or 3 seconds… And it usually makes you look like a god in front of your clients when someome said something funny in front of the mic and you just tell them “well, I have it, I recorded it afterwards”… 3 sec can be long if the joke is short and you are fast.
