I just tested this, it didn't work. My sequencer was dropping out at certain passages with lots of chords, so I just set it to record to aiff and went about my business. The AIFF file is full of skips; not dropouts, but whole sections that aren't there at all. I'm not using any real-time controls, I just hit record and Pd does it. I wonder if there is some way to make Pd compile straight to disk?

If you have a patch that takes "250% of the CPU" or something like that, and it doesn't use the microphone/linein, and only writes to a file, then Pd should be able to do that flawlessly, if no objects use physical time, that is, they all use logical time instead. Logical time slows down when you use "more than 100% of the CPU" to account for the fact that only 100% of the CPU is usable (!) and it catches up on physical time when you allow it to.
