Have switched from a Echo GINA / Midiman USB combo to a new MOTU 828mkII instead. Vegas 5.0d was working just fine when dealing with time code (SMPTE input to the Midiman, converted to MTC (midi time code)...has been working well, (except for doing ADR, dealing with time code during recording..but you can read all about that under a different subject by me). HEre's my question now: I cannot get Vegas to recognize incoming time code from the MOTU interface. The MOTU sees the time code, and reads it correctly via its SMPTE software mini-app, and I've selected MOTU828mkII as my Sync source in Vegas' prefs...but still, when I choose CtllF7, it doesn't see the time code. Is there a trick to convincing Vegas that there is actually time code..? DOes this have something to do with smpte vs. midi time code? I can't get any info from MOTU on whether their interface (Firewire all the way to the PC) is sending SMPTe or MIDI time code to the PC.
