SMPTE to MTC converter and feed the MTC signal to a
MIDI input port on a MIDI interface in the computer.
MAGIX audio studio supports real chase lock sync (MIDI
Clock and MIDI Time Code/SMPTE). This means, that the
internal sample rate of MAGIX audio studio’s playback or
recording is varied in small steps, so that MAGIX audio
studio can follow little timing changes of the sync master.
This is very useful when using sync between a tape or video
recorder (master) and MAGIX audio studio (slave), because
most tape machines always produce small pitch changes,
which results in delays between the tape and MAGIX audio
studio, when not using chase lock sync. If the timing
changes are too big, MAGIX audio studio produces heavy
pitch changes, which may be reduced by entering smaller
values for the Sync Velocity in the sync dialog. Try values
of 200 or more, when you need fast pitch changes in sync
mode! In the lower right status bar you can read the actual/
maximal pitch change in cents ( 1 cent = 1/100 halftone).
Please know, that the chase lock sync performs a real time
resampling (if not using ARC44/88 sound cards), which
needs a certain processing power, so be carefully on slow
machines!
When receiving SMPTE/MTC you can start and stop
playback with the space key – MAGIX audio studio will
always be in sync!
MIDI Clock Input Device: Here the driver must be se-
lected from which MAGIX audio studio will receive MIDI
Clocks for the synchronization.
BPM: Here the tempo must be entered, with which the
MIDI Clocks should be received.
SMPTE/MTC Input Device: Select the device driver
through which MAGIX audio studio will receive the
SMPTE/MTC signal.
MTC Output Device: Select the device driver through
which MAGIX audio studio will send the MIDI Time Code
master signal.
Type: Select the proper frame rate. Use 24 frames for
cinematic synchronization, 25 frames for PAL video, and
audio synchronization, 30 frames for NTSC video.
Preroll-Frames: You can specify, how many frames
MAGIX audio studio is to ignore before the synchronization
starts. Here you can account for the fact, that certain ana-
