Stripe one ADAT track with SMPTE, and sync your sequencer to this SMPTE signal
by whatever means you normally use. As you control ADAT’s tape motion with the
transport controls, the sequencer will automatically follow along, letting you mix digital
recording with any sequencer.
7.6 VIDEO LOCATION RECORDING
With ADAT, there are enough tracks to stripe SMPTE and record seven tracks of
dialog/sound effects on location. ADAT also makes an excellent mixdown deck for
new multichannel formats (such as surround sound) that require more than two
tracks.
7.7 MODULAR RECORDING
Collaborations work particularly well with dual-ADAT systems. You can record your
tracks into one machine, then do a premix into two tracks of the second machine,
which is of course synchronized to the first. Send this tape to your partner, who adds
parts in the other tracks. When the tape comes back, just pop it in the second deck,
and your partner’s parts will be in sync with what you laid down originally.
