Sync-offset issues when recording with external equipment
Any tips on how to reduce Sync-offset? I print audio from an MPC 1000, enable a 2 bar pre-roll and generally use a click to determine the offset measurement. The problem is each offset measurement is different, even after using that offset measurement under 'midi beat clock'. Recently bought an Innerlock Sync-Gen 2 Pro to rectify this problem, but still having sync offset issues.
I might also add that my external HDD is daisy chained to my audio interface via FireWire 400. My MacBook only has one FireWire port. MacBook (13-inch, Early 2008) 2.4 ghz / 4GB RAM Pro Tools 10.3.2 RME Fire-face 800 |

Re: Sync-offset issues when recording with external equipment
So, your goal is to bring the MPC 1000 tracks to PT, right? You have to do that in pairs because of the 2 channel SPdif out, right?
You connect midi TC out to midi in on the RME, and slave PT to that, right? What i understand is that every pass has a slightly different sync. I can't test it here since i have no MTC here, but i believe to think that MTC is not that precise. Is it an idea that every run you make, you start and/or end with a click and manually slide the recorded tracks in sample accurate sync position? |
