Timing and Swing

@Chillin Cool I dig the DJ Spinna Mix Roy Ayers- Holiday.


Young RJ touches on the Swing at the 1:00 mark. This method has worked out better for me with time correct off applying my own swing.

You quoted this, and then argued when I said it was incorrect...

Because of limitations in MIDI and synthesizers, devices driven by MIDI beatclock are often subject to clock drift. For this reason, it is a common practice on equipment that supports another clock source such as ADAT or wordclock to use both that source and MIDI beatclock.

MTC is all you need to sync a DAW with your MPC's sequencer. Word Clock sync'd is only used if you are connecting two or more digital devices via S/PDIF, ADAT, AES/EBU, and TDIF. If your MPC is connected to your audio interface via analog I/O, you will not be using Word Clock as there is no two digital audio sources requiring sync. Your DAW is set to internal (Master) and there are no Slaves. You are mistaken on this subject.

I am not mistaken, you are uneducated and unaware of it.

Word clock sync is used to with MTC and SMPTE as well, to sync the timebase of two devices, to prevent drift when using MTC, not just with digital audio connections.

Read it, FFS...

◦MTC Trigger: Audio regions are started in sync, but are then played at a constant sample rate, regardless of any variations in the timecode master signal. Logic Pro always uses the set nominal sample rate (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 192 kHz). This mode is suitable when it is vital to retain the absolute pitch of a recording. If the speed of the timecode master deviates from the nominal value, you may need to split long audio regions into shorter sections.

◦External or Free:Logic Pro has no influence on the sample rate. The audio hardware is responsible for ensuring that the position and sample rate of audio regions match. This mode is only advisable if you are sure that the Word Clock and timecode master are running in sync—by using an external SMPTE or Word Clock synchronizer, for example.

There is no doubt about it, bus is Jerome.

Day 2-3 of you writing things on a topic that you don't fully understand. The articles you provided links to do nothing to back up your claims. I posted several references to help you understand the topic. Please read again to educate yourself.

Word Clock only applies to syncing two digital audio sources. A DAW, an Audio Interface, and an MPC connected via analog outputs does not require Word Clock. There is no two digital audio sources that need to be locked.

If you connect your MPC to an AD/DA converter using S/PDIF, only then will Word Clock come into play. In our discussion, no member inquiring assistance has mentioned they are using 2 digital audio sources. Here is another source on Word Clock for you: https://www.sweetwater.com/forums/showt ...

MTC is Timecode Sync. I understand how Timecode and Word Clock can be confusing. But they serve different purposes.
