The method of claim 1 wherein said step of time shifting comprises the step of varying the duration of a preselected one of the line information portions by a predetermined period of variation, whereby subsequent ones of the line information portions are similarly shifted in time.

 Review of Timeshifting
His idea that chronic urgency and time pressure are forms of imbalanced mental and emotional time seems to correspond very closely to my understanding of linear time as our experience of imbalanced energy flow among our head, throat, and heart energy centers.
Time is broken into manageable segments, and in each time frame you complete a project.
Apparently linear time is seen as a given: "We all live in linear time, a straight arrow that goes from birth to death." (p.

 Halfbakery: time shift
Unfortunately, society has such deeply ingrained notions of "appropriate" clock times for various activities that it might be difficult for many people to accept the idea of starting work at midnight.
The times on the clock would then occur eight hours earlier (with respect to the sun) than they did before the adjustment.
A simple and gradual way to accomplish this shift would be to observe daylight savings time at the beginning of the summer, but not return to standard time in the fall, for eight years.

 MeBox: Live TV with Time Shifting
The most obvious approach to implementing time shifting is to use a ring buffer: the recorder reads from the source and writes to the end of the buffer, looping back to the beginning once it reaches some configurable limit; the player can then play the video back from any point in the ring buffer.
This time is not a unix timestamp, but is instead is an offset in seconds relative to the start epoch.
This made most sense to me, but the time shifting code is not tied into this.

But while there's an undeniable shift towards more consumer control at work here, time-shifting hasn't changed the overall pattern of viewing TV shows: You still watch a standard rotation of programsyou just get to juggle the rotation to fit your schedule.
In the first season of ''Six Feet Under," for example, one of the most powerful narrative threads involves the slowly evolving friendship between two estranged brothers, brought together to run the family mortuary after their father's death.
The shift in their relationship is rarely a dominant plot element of the individual episodes, but when you view the show as a continuous narrative line, their increasing closeness becomes sharply visible, like a stop-action film of a plant exploding into full bloom.

I was wondering when or if you time shift your drum tracks to be together.
Time aligning a track to another is a good thing when you know that they should all be getting the same imprint of sound at the same time, but don't.
So, knowing the tom mics SHOULD all be in time, I shaved the small amount of time needed to align them (we used the snare, too) off the beginning of the track on each song we tracked.
