User Guide
To set options for incoming SMPTE timecode:
1 If your MIDI interface supports sample-accurate synchronization, choose Options >
Sample Accurate Sync.
2 Choose Options > Settings, and click the SMPTE tab.
3 Set the following options:
Lead Time Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) in which Adobe Audition estab-
lishes synchronization with incoming timecode. Lower settings (200 and lower) result in
faster transport response but may prevent Adobe Audition from establishing synchroni-
zation. Settings of 500 to 1000 are sufficient on most systems.
Stopping Time Specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds) Adobe Audition will
continue playing if it encounters a dropout in timecode.
Lag Time Specifies the number of samples between incoming timecode and outgoing
audio data. This value accounts for discrepancies introduced by sound card buffers. The
default value is 10 samples.
Slack Specifies the number of frames Adobe Audition can fall out of sync with timecode
before either repositioning the current-time indicator to match the code or performing a
full resynchronization. A setting of up to 2.5 frames is recommended, as incorrect
timecode is usually corrected on the next frame sent. The default value is 1 frame.
Clock Drift Correction Time Specifies the number of samples to crossfade when making
time corrections to chase audio to timecode. The default value is 200 samples.
Reposition Playback Cursor When Shuttling Readjusts the playback position if synchroni-
zation is off by the Slack value.
Full Re-Sync When Shuttling Performs a full re-synchronization if synchronization is off
by the Slack value.
Setting up external controllers
You can use external controllers, such as the Mackie Control, when recording and mixing
in Adobe Audition. These devices let you edit audio tracks using real knobs and automated
faders, instead of your mouse and computer keyboard. The Device Properties dialog box
lets you configure external controllers and specify a volume increment.
