Regarding DV toolkit, funny thing, many versions ago, PT LE used to have a SMPTE display as a stock function, before you had to pay extra for it. That should allow an LE rig to have proper, continuous re-sync to an incoming SMPTE/black burst feed. So one scenario might be to:ġ-Buy a device that could accept SMPTE audio and video blackburst, and then output a s/pdif signal synced to those sources (such as a MOTU digital timepiece, or one of the aardvark boxes)Ģ-Patch that spdif output into the LE rig's spdif inputģ-Tell LE to sync its clock to that spdif input

Pro Tools LE, when used with any LE-compatible interface that has a s/pdif input, can sync its clock to that spdif input. However, there is one solution that may work for proper, "continuous sync". It would start playback at the correct location when first rolling, but then would be playing at its own speed, possibly drifting off course from the time code source feeding your MTC/LTC converter.

theoreticallyThat should work, as far as I know, but one problem you may have is that when syncing to incoming midi time code, the Pro Tools LE would be doing "trigger sync". Therefore Boom Recorder Patch is a concert event and resides stage performances its doable to file as many as 128 (Growth Recorder Professional) tracks. whilst being able to just chuck a MBP or two running BR on spare MADI outputs from converters at the stagebox end (as a failsafe against the fibre/co-ax failing) and on a spare MADI Bridge out in the control room as a cheap and reliable backup makes a good compromise in terms of hardware to be carried/rigged.What if i were to convert the incoming LTC to MTC with a converter and using DV Toolkit? Im pretty sure LE can sync to MTC and DV toolkit will display it in SMPTE. Recording straight into the DAW(s) gets me a workflow head start on the post production mixing etc.
#Boom recorder pro portable
OK, there's no editing or other tricks but as a reliable way to simply record lots of tracks of audio into a readily portable file format, it's very hard to beat. Especially when you include the side benefit of a built in battery as an added layer of protection against unexpected power failures without necessarily needing the extra weight of an external UPS (though I use one of those too).

Boom Recorder Pro gets no use on the computer The application itself encounters a problem which need to remove first Boom Recorder Pro should be reinstalled on Mac The program occupies a lot of space which affect the Mac's performance Boom Recorder Pro causes an application conflict. Ime, a used 2008 15" MBP with a MADIFace and a copy of BR will very comfortably record 64 tracks to an external USB drive, with a level of reliability at least equal to 24 tracks on an HD24 (ime more reliably) and it's far more portable. General reasons to uninstall Boom Recorder Pro on Mac.
#Boom recorder pro full
Over the last few years I've moved over to leaving the big hardware mixers at home unless I really need full control over a mixdown for a live broadcast or some such, and instead running one or more Samplitude/Sequoia/Pyramix PCs with MacBook Pros running BR as backups. A bit like how I still find it hard to hate DAT after a dCS900 and couple of PCM7030s replaced a PCM1610/30, DMR2000, DMR4000 and DTA2000 + 9-pin dot matrix printer and 10s of kg of U-MATIC tapes for stereo sessions! That said, a competent 1U 24T recorder isn't a step backwards and that Cymatic looks like a very neat piece of kit with a lot of potential if they bolt on some digital i/o.Īnd as for the OP's question, as someone who was convinced, finally, after 30 years, to buy a Mac just to run BR I'd say there's still nothing quite like it.

That Cymatic really looks like a good unit that sooner or later will replace heavy, large HD24 type recorders.As someone whose back is still rejoicing in the heavy, large HD24 as a replacement for lugging around the rather heavier, larger, rack of DA88s or heavier still PCM3324, MTR90, A800, A827, etc., with racks of Dolby cards, and before that the joys of 1" 8 track Studers, that comment drew a smile.
