Re: Getting timecode into Boom recorder



Hi Simon,
I feed my Metacorder/Mac Mini rig from my Onyx 1640 via firewire.
Timecode is fed from my Deva 5 to a 1/4" line input on the board. I
make sure that the level is low and also that the signal is out of all
buses and sends. It's worked great for the last year and 1/2. I assume
that the signal flow would be the similar for Boom Recorder.
Best,
Tom
