aristotle_kumpis Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Is there any bleed of time code onto another track if I am constantly jamming Boom Recorder? Should I skip a track between the time code and audio channel just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 No bleed from my experience. How are you feeding timecode in your setup? You do not need to "arm" the track your timecode is coming in on. In your "Preferences" settings, under "Metadata", set your "Time Source" window to "LTC SMPTE EBU".

RPSharman Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I never had a problem. If anything it would be from your mixer, depending on how you feed TC to BR. When I ran BR, I attenuated the TC feed to the mixer. BR only needed very low level signal to read the TC. And the track does not need to be armed to read TC.

Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Timecode can be fed directly to BoomRecorder via your Fire Wire interface. There is no need to put it through your mixer at all, thus avoiding Robert's issue of timecode bleed in his audio channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interface was cabled through the back of my cart, and had 8 analog ins on the back, so I sent TC into input 8 on the mixer and TC went pre-fade out into FF800. When I needed 8 channels, I pulled the TC feed on the mixer and replaced it with the mic signal. That way I didn't have to re-patch the interface. Maybe not the best choice, but worked perfectly.

aristotle_kumpis Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I am thinking of purchasing Boom Recorder so I just was curious to know if I needed to space the tracks. But what if I feed TC through an analog mixer, and then into Boom Recorder? Would that affect the other inputs on the mixer as well, or no?

Michael Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm wondering why you would want to run TC through an analogue mixer? As for bleed if you did run it through the mixer that would depend on the quality of the mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Robert, You could feed timecode directly into your FF800 via Input 9 or even 10 through the 1/4 Line Input on the front of the device and avoid using one of your 8 mixer inputs. You could route that input on the FireFace 800 to whatever track you want in Boom Recorder through the RME TotalMix software's matrix.

Also true, but then I would have had to have something plugged into the front. Crazy logic, I know, but I like things to be tidy. A low-level TC feed into the mixer and then to the FF800 kept it all clean and easy to access. No crosstalk issues with custom, attenuated cable. Anyway, no BR any longer, so no longer an issue.

Matthias Richter Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I used to use the line in from my laptop as the TC in and FW for the audio ch from my interface. Works too. Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadoStefanov Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 FF800 also have a LTC and black burst option. It may work with Boom Recorder.

Brian Liston Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 No support for 23.98. No more dev on the TCO. FF800 also have a LTC and black burst option. It may work with Boom Recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you are worried about bleed you can take advantage of BR's ability to jam itself to TC coming into any input. When I used it with multiple interfaces and needed ALL the available input channels for audio, I input TC into an audio input for long enough for BR to "grab" it, then pulled it. Since the interfaces feeding BR were being clocked by the same clock that was feeding the TC generator (in my case, a SD 744), sync was maintained. I did several jobs last year where I had two BR systems running at once, separate computers/drives/interfaces, but both clocked from the same source and both BRs jammed to the same TC. Sync was perfect for well over 4 hours. phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
