Re: [Troppo] Time Code Audio Sync

The short answer is, you can't...so use an audio recorder with a stable time reference, such as a minidisc, DAT, or an MP3 recorder. An analog cassette recorder will have way too much speed variation to maintain sync, but a digital recorder should be little or no problem. The longer answer is, time code is supported by some professional audio recorders. If you have such a device, tell it to use SMPTE drop frame time code to match up with the time code used by the A1U. You STILL cannot set both devices to use the SAME time code, since the A1U can't be driven by an external time code generator. But it's not a problem to sync the two up in post...just find a video/audio cue so you can line up the two tracks in your NLE. Regards, Doug Graham Panda Productions
