Touche, my ninja.

Also, regarding the above Cool Edit/ Adobe Audition MIDI settings...

I would set it for 30 fps rather than 25 fps. 30 is more reliable and is also the standard for SMPTE, which Cool Edit actually receives and translates into MTC anyway.
Thats why you choose "SMPTE Slave enable" in the Cool Edit settings.

Also, to allow time for the machines to sync up, make sure you put 2-4 blank bars at the beginning of your song (in the MPC), which gives the machines timecodes time to synchronize without cutting off a fraction of a second of info from each of your tracks inside CoolEdit. Another good tip is to go into the options/settings of Cool Edit where it says SMPTE OFFSET, and set it for 5 seconds---this means that Cool Edit waits 5 seconds after receiving MTC before it actually starts recording----same effect as putting the blank bars at the beginning, allows time for the machines to "talk" before the recording begins, thus fixing latency and drift problems.

BRUHNLAW - That's what's up, thanks and glad it worked out for you.
I'm always pointing people to this thread and most newbies don't even follow my signature link to see what it's all about so I bump it up every now and then to keep the info going.
