Apple Soundtrack Pro 3 - Manual (Page 529)

Setting Up the MTC Generator

• In the case of the MIDI Timepiece, use the Clockworks control panel.
• In the case of the Unitor 8 MkII, use the Unitor Control application.
Setting Up Soundtrack Pro to Sync to External Timecode
You can set up Soundtrack Pro to sync to external timecode.
To sync Soundtrack Pro to external timecode
1 Choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences, then click the Synchronization button at the top
of the Preferences window.
2 In the Input section, select the Sync to MIDI Time Code checkbox.
3 In the Output section, choose the frame rate for your project from the Frame Rate pop-up
menu.
4 In the Time Code Offset section, enter your tape’s offset in the Bar 1 At field. This is typically
01:00:00;00.
5 Close the Preferences window.
6 Depending on your timecode source, choose either View > Time Ruler Units > Drop Frame
or View > Time Ruler Units > Non-Drop Frame.
7 Choose View > Time Ruler Units > Set Starting Timecode.
8 In the dialog that appears, enter the SMPTE position where you would like the sequence
to start.
This often is the same as the tape offset. If your timecode source is drop frame, be sure
to select the Drop Frame checkbox.
