Syncing a Tascam 246 to my DAW - audio glitches

[miroslav]

Unless I'm much mistaken, Reaper seems to be able to do that now.

So...is he running the tape deck SMPTE straight to Reaper as an audio track, without the Cooper sync box, and Reaper is reading the SMPTE off that audio track and as code directly...?

If the Cooper is is still needed...then it's MTC/SMPTE conversions.

I would think the audio interface would need a VITC or LTC code In connection...and not just the audio connection being fed with SMPTE for it to read the code directly....though I guess there could be some internal conversion that reads the incoming audio channel and takes the SMPTE directly...???

I'd be willing to bet Sony (soon to be Magix) Vegas reads SMPTE directly.

Yeah...not sure what Magix is going to do with Vegas at this time other than put their brand on it.
I mean...the development crew that works on Samplitude ProX and Sequoia has its hands full.

AFA the devs who were part of Sony...not sure how many came over with the Magix acquisition?
I use an older version of Vegas...and while it has the SMPTE display...I've not ever done any sync with other devices.
I just import the video and work ITB with Vegas editing the videos.

Thanks guys....... I've had a few too many tonight to try to digest this totally..... I tried to wrap my mind around your comments, but I went to the fridge and wrapped my hands around something instead.....

Glad you got it sorted!

Just to clarify, this...

In the Audio device tab, under ASIO configuration, my Tascam US-1800 interface is set to the lowest latency.

...was what I was talking about when I said "buffer settings". I'd have to look at it to see what that 1200ms thing is about, but it's not the same thing. I should have been more specific. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I originally thought, and I started to type that, but I wanted to double check. Then when I went into preferences, I saw another tab called "Buffer settings," so I thought maybe that's what you were talking about.
