The reason for this is that we need to record our DME stems in Pro Tools at the same time we are laying back to tape. Our current work flow is to record mixes to Digibeta and DMEs to DA88 using TimeLine Microlynx. However we are moving into HD and have purchased Sony SRW5500 and Panasonic DVCproHD. The microlynx does not have machine templets for these new decks, thus our purchase consideration. And yes I know I can just use machine control. But only if I mix my stems to Pro Tools first and then do a layback pass. We generally don't have the time for the layback pass. We do "live layback" during the mix.

Hey,
What is it about machine control that prevents an external "live layback" to a tape deck and printing stems internally to protools at the same time?
I print 8 tracks of DA88 and multiple stems in PT's at the same time: DA88 is master, PT's tracks put armed, PT's online, press record on the DA88 and sha-bam! And I do this without Machine Control (the DA88 is right next to the mix position).
I do occasionaly have lip sync issues, but I think that is the madness of Delay Compensation...
