Wow, it's hard to know what't the most sensible place to post this... but the description for this tributary had SMPTE in it, so what the hell...
I am currently enrolled in a class in film and video scoring at the local community college, and I'm interested in being able to do at least some level of work at home. I already have a powerful PC and digital audio system... I need a SMPTE converter and a VCR. My questions are:
(1) Anyone have any tips or recommendations for SMPTE? I was thinking of either getting a Midiman BiPort 2x4/s or a Midisport 8x8/s USB rack-mount MIDI interface.
(2) My understanding is that if I have a hi-fi VCR, I can pull the SMPTE off the normal audio track while the video's sound is in Hi-Fi mingled with the video. SO if I get a pre-striped tape and almost any $100-ish hi-fi VCR, I should be able to synch to the SMPTE on it, no? And if I want to be able to stripe a VHS tape with SMPTE myself, I'll need a VCR that allows audio dubbing? Somewhat more expensive...
(3) Anyone know of a forum similar to this one that's geared towards audio_video work?
Thanks...
