I haven't looked, but am not quite sure I'd want to know.
 
The project I'm working on now has a song written in 1996 on a 4-track recorder.  It's gone through an overhaul at least every 18 months or so, changing genres, instrumentation, and layout.  Finally at the "ideal" build in 2017.




I go through those complete overhauls on almost everything. Usually it's as a result of frustration - trying too long to make something sound good, but I can't bring myself to change it because I'm emotionally invested in it, and then one day I think "these African drums aren't working out" and I switch it to an electronic kit instead, and bada bing total new sound that inspires me to change all the other instruments as well. Then I'm all motivated and before you know it the thing is completely unrecognizable, is in a new genre, has a whole new section added and I've gotten rid of some crappy section that always made me cringe. 4 months down the line I've messed around with it so much that it's all screwed up again and the overhaul process begins afresh.....it's a good job I don't do this for a living.

Can you even lip sync the tick of a clock?

Hmm maybe that 3592 is the number of times it's crashed then? (Sorry Cakewalk)
 
But there's 3 numbers there. If the 3592 is minutes then the 2nd number must be seconds, so what's the 3rd? Milliseconds?

Why would they give editing time in frames though?

Not exactly what the thread appears to be suggesting, but I did create a song in 1979 that didn't make it into any recording device until 2004.  Just a simple ditty that I never did a second attempt of (someday I'll clean up my playing).  Yes, it's a New Age song and the ending does not resolve on purpose (so you feel like you left floating).  Plus, I used a Variax and not a "real" acoustic guitar.  So there.
