Along the same lines as Alec's question, do any of your audio programs
allow synching of audio files to video recorders. I'm not much of a
sound card expert, so I dont know how do-able this would be. I would
like to see an application that would allowed me to create a sound
track then record it on a VTR starting at a particular frame. Any
hope of getting such a application?

Hi Scott,
>> I would like to see an application that would allowed me to create a sound

None of our current product offerings are intended for this purpose,
and as such, don't support it. Depending on the level of
control/interaction between the audio editing app and the VTR, you
would at the very least need some sort of timing/synchronization
information coming from the VTR into the PC (i.e., SMPTE, MIDI, Sony
Frame Code, or something of that sort) for the app to be aware of
timing/playback offsets on the VTR source, or possibly communications
going both ways, if you wanted the app to actually control the VTR
source.
Since decks that are widely available/affordable don't really supply
a universal standard, it's difficult to produce a PC-based "audio for
video" editing suite with consumer equipment, but manageable with
professional equipment. However, because we make all our products
very affordable ($59.95 SRP and lower), it's imperative that we stick
to the "widely available" capabilities currently available.
Thanks for your interest. Hope I answered your question (as opposed to leaving
you more confused than when I started!)

Humm, too bad. Thanks for the reply anyway.
Scott.
I think that the matrox studio can do that I remember about 2 years I went to
a demo
and one of the neat things that sticks in my mind was that you didn't have to
lay to sound down first as an editor typicaly does because you could
change(scale) the sound tracks and Vo's to match the edits. I don't know if
this would be a solution as the Studio is very expensive. but I wounder if the
studio software, a Vtr and a sound card could get it done?
