Once you think that your settings are going to work, or are ready to give it a shot, click the "De-Stretch >" button. Beginning this process will display the destretching sheet, as shown here:
Destretching takes quite a long time. If you are doing a 24 track recording, I'd recommend going to get lunch.
Files are output in AIFF format, with the same sample rate and bit depth as the original files.
If you de-stretch the SMPTE track as well, you can run the analysis on the resulting file to see how well the files were de-stretched. In my experience, most de-stretched frames have a 0 sample skew, with up to a +/- 5 sample skew.
It is also possible to do multiple passes. This will bring your skews down to Zero, but I have not listened to files that have been multi-passed, so I cannot say whether or not there will be a loss of fidelity.
