As long as you are recording sources that originate outside

the computer (i.e. soundcard inputs, either mics or instruments)

there *should* be no problem. The DAW needs to shift any

material recorded while listening to existing tracks by

the round-trip latency, and for a punch in/out be a bit

clever with monitoring. All this can be automatic, and

if done correctly a player will *never* notice any delay.
Things get more hairy when using sources generated on the

PC. But then just playing them with 64ms latency is the

real problem.
