Re: Digital Sound Sync in 23.976 on Media Composer (Meridien)

There was a great topic that went into great detail about this subject,
I believe it was titled "When to use 48.048?". I found it invaluable.

I'm trying to solve a problem that I am having in a TV Post workflow on
an HD show. Camera shoots 23.976psf HDCAM. Sound records 48k, 23.976 to
DAT and SoundDevices 744t hard drive.

Since AVID Meridien Media Composer does not work natively in 23.976,
but only in 24 frame, it's workaround is to digitze audio slightly
compressed (so it plays faster) and on playback (if you have the 23.976
option checked) it slows everything down to 100.1% to be able to play
and record in 23.976 from the 24 frame project. Since the audio is
digitized and compressed slightly, everything stays in sync.

However, if I try to import the audio directly off the SundDevices
744t, since the audio was not compressed as it is when you digitize
audio with the Meridien, the takes drift.

Is there any way to make the audio files work without manually
compressing them with an audio editing program?

Anyone have experience with this type of workflow and equipment?


While this won't help already recorded files, this might be a good
application of the 48.048F sample rate. Files are recorded at 48.048
but stamped as 48k so they will play back .1% slower than normal
providing a built in pull-down.
