I have a friend of mine who is using PT LE/Digi 001 on a P4 for radio production. System is very stable, he's very happy. He has been asked to put together an 001 or 002 with DV Toolkit to do audio for TV post work.

Already established that a small mixer for no latency talent headphone monitoring and playing in audio and laying back to tape will be needed.

However, will it be possible using DV Toolkit to synch PT LE and a Beta SP deck in order to lock the audio? (The Beta SP deck would also provide TV monitoring for the talent and the audio editor.)

Also, since plug-ins will be used on the audio, probably Waves, and these will induce latency, how can the audio be kept in synch with the video? Would it be best to determine the sample delay and nudge the track(s) back by that amount? Or would it be easier to bounce the final mix out to a stereo track, import that into a new session, line it up at the proper time code mark and then lay it back to the video tape?

Any and all help and/or advice appreciated.

Cheers,
