Chose your Audio Timing Reference
In the System dialog there are two settings the are related to sync (see page 364):
• The MIDI Sync Reference allows you to decide whether Cubase VST’s play-
back (and hence the MIDI) should slave to the external time code or to the au-
dio hardware.
• The Audio Clock Source setting is for those with advanced audio hardware
that supports resolving via external word clock signals. It allows you to clock
the audio card from an external source.
Always use the Same Sync Source!
Throughout a project, use the same synchronization source for all audio recording
and editing. If you plan to sync Cubase VST to for example a tape recorder, make
sure you are synchronized to that tape recorder at all times!
Use Generate SMPTE
The Generate SMPTE command on the Audio menu allows Cubase VST to create a
synthesised audio file containing ”perfect” SMPTE code.
Once you have created the audio files that simulates a time code recording, you can
stripe the tape you intend to synchronize your work to, with this code. The idea is
that since this time code is generated at exactly the same speed as your digital audio
hardware uses, it will make the MIDI playback play back in “perfect” sync with the
digital audio.
We highly recommend using this feature to generate the time code before com-
mencing any synchronized work with Cubase VST.
The code is generated ”off-line” and is created very quickly. When finished, you
can simply throw the file away or perhaps store it on a stable medium – such as
DAT tape – for later use.
