Of course, such a trick will not work if our timecode starts from 00:00:00.00 But if it starts from an hour, 01:00:00.00, then we can specify the start time of the timecode, 00:59:57.00 and then at the time of the start of the audio track, the segments of minutes and seconds will coincide with the timecode. How to avoid it? It is necessary to generate the timecode not exactly zero, but from the fifty-seventh second. The minimum time must be at least one second.Īlthough there are side effect, now the current time of the track will differ from the generated timecode at the time of our shift (in our case it is three seconds). This time is enough for all devices to identify the incoming timecode. I usually generate three seconds timecode before the track starts. But what to do if you need to link a specific event by timecode from the very beginning of the track? This is done by starting the generation of timecode, earlier for the start of the audio track, so that by the time the audio track starts, the timecode has already been detected by the receiving system. This means that only after a certain time, the correct definition of the incoming timecode, the console will allow it into the system. In some light consoles, you can manually adjust the preroll parameter. As we already know, depending on the interface, the time spent by the device on determining the incoming timecode in practice can be up to one second. Here are a few tricks to work with timecode. In our case, this is Rosendahl mif4, again, if we start playing the project, now two channels of audio will go to the audio card, and the MTC will go to the MIDI card. On the right side of the settings window, in the “MIDI Hardware Output” menu in the list, you must select the MIDI card to which we will send the MIDI time code. This is configured in the same place where we set up audio channels for each track. So, as the timecode track now generates MTC, we need to tell this track which MIDI card to send MIDI to. To do this, in the generator timecode settings, select the “Send MIDI (MTC)” timecode mode and click Apply. Let's now set up our timecode track so that it generates MTC. In this menu we can specify the start time, the number of frames of the timecode and also the important option this is the choice of the type of timecode generated. The “SMPTE Generator Properties” settings window appears here. By default, when creating a new timecode generator, the start time of the timecode generation is 00:00:00.00 In order to specify your time, let's go into the generation settings, to do this, right-click on the second part of the timecode track that is on the timeline and In the drop-down menu, select the “Source properies. Now let's set the start time of the timecode. Now, if we play the project, the audio track goes on the first and second outputs of the audio card, and LTC timecode goes on the third and fourth. In the header of the track with the timecode generator, press the “ROUTE” button and in the “Parent channels:” parameter select channels 3-4. This is done in the same way as with an audio track. Let's assign for the timecode, individual outputs that will not intersect with the audio track. As we remember, by default all audio tracks broadcast their channels on the first and second channel of the project.
