I can get midi and tape to sync or midi and digital audio to sync or any two to sync perfectly. But all three seems to be out of reach. I have figured out two workarounds that are a little more time consuming but why, why, why cant all three run in sync. I would like to hear from some of you that actually sync to tape and do it regularly. Its not a sync box problem or anything like that. and not a problem understanding the basics of tape sync. I ve been using the same sync box and proceedur for almost twenty years. I just cant seem to get all three to sync up perfectly.

If audio is the issue, make sure you have the correct soundcard driver selected in PTW. Using soundmapper or such may give a problem... I don't do it all the time, but have done it in the past..quite a while back. Haven't had any need for tape in a while. Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

But PT/RB have settings for latency, buffer, etc. that might allow for such. Also, I'd say the ASIO drivers would be the better choice. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

I don't know of any sequencing software that can change the s[peed and pitch of Audio files on the fly to match a MIDI tempo, though. Once Audio is recorded, the MIDI must be sync'd to the Audio, not vice verse. If you change the BPM of the MIDI file to match the audio tracks, things will likely line up. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
