Ardour syncs to MTC, which is just re-encoded timecode. I've been told by a company that specializes in timecode sync hardware that it syncs faster and more accurately than any other product in the market place. Its not technically hard to sync to SMPTE itself, but nobody has had the incentive to do the work. I'd be happy to consider doing it as a paid project - it would probably be about 4-8 hours work. > Getting the 2-inch machine to lock up to Ardour is definitely possible, > but it would take getting a piece of hardware like a Timeline Lynx. Not necessarily. I have a JL Cooper box that does bi-directional conversion between LTC and MTC. > What about the Ardour punch-in question? Shouldn't that be a > high-priority bug fix? :-) Has it even been reported to the bug tracker? Note that Harrisons XDubber is built around this functionality, and they tend to beat this stuff to death. I've heard no reports of problems with punch in until Fons bought it up on this mailing in. There is one vaguely related report from sometime in 2007 with version 2.0, and that was believed to be fixed (it was actually a crashing bug). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
