Though I haven't done a lot of locking to code, I have used Vegas as
a slave to my DA-38. I use the Miid Xpress XT and convert SMPTE to
MTC and it works great. Very simple operation. Offsets seem to work,
and it supports all formats of TC. You can toggle MTC sync with a
touch of a key F8 or shift-F8 (like ACID).

Good luck! It IS a great product.
