still in place at this time. there is a simple 1-2 line solution; i'm not sure if its the right one, since it simply substitutes a 64 channel limit. >> Midi Time Code syncronization in Ardour could also be >> problematic, it doesn't work with my Tascam DM-24. >> Even though transport location is accurate, the >> automation system can't interpret Ardour mtc.
