Lightworks for your computer takes care of the editing process. Sync is
easy. I have Slate/Clapper apps on my ipad and cellphone. Record the real
audio on your multitrack and import the audio into Lightworks. Align the
slate and lock the tracks together. Extremely easy.
As Lightworks has multitrack audio built in, but no ability to sync, you
could stripe a channel with smpte and let the external audio editor chase
sync. My AW4416 has only MTC, so I have to double hop through a sequencer
that can chase smpte and generates MTC. I use to have a smpte/mtc converter
box but that was years ago. The double-hop is a bit of a pain and MTC takes
a couple seconds before it locks on and the slave units get on with it. I'm
not too opposed to my setup, though, because I can add a bunch of stuff to
the mix through midi.
SMPTE is dead! Long live SMPTE!
