capturing several takes from a DA-98

Postby Ooblecaboodle » Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:05

Hi. I have several takes recorded on a DA-98 machine, with "time of day" timecode. The takes are not continuous, and so the timecode jumps between takes.
I need to capture these into our pyramix.
At the moment, I'm taking a timecode feed from the DA-98, and making Pyramix chase it, then dropping in to record to capture the audio.

What I'm interested to know, is if there's a way for pyramix to follow the break in timecode, re-sync, and start recording a new clip automatically each time?
I'm running Version 6.16, mykerinos based.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Set the in and out markers to the entire length of the project.
Set the tracks I wish to record to auto punch (alt-click record on track group)
in All settings->Application->Jog/Chase, DESELECT "Stay in record until stop is pressed"
in All settings->Project->Record DESELECT "prompt for name after each recording"

Now play the DA-98, with timecode connected to Pyramix
Set Pyramix to chase (ctrl-F1)

job done :D
