RE: Upset over Offset (keyfuzz)

The SMPTE Offset fields are H:M:S:F, or Hours, Minutes, Seconds, and Frames. You need to convert 382ms to frames and that depends on your frame rate. Assuming 30 frames/sec, 382ms is roughly 11 frames. So your SMPTE Offset should be 00:00:00:11. For other frame rates, simply multiply 0.382 times the frame rate.

Upset over Offset (rlb2250)

I need to understand how to adjust Smpte offset in Sonar to deal with a timing discrepancy between my audio and midi tracks. Here's the problem: When I look at Options/Project/Clock there are no references on the offset dial.

It's difficult to understand what you're adjusting--and by how much--because it doesn't indicate whether this scale is in minutes, hours, or years.

Iâ€™ve read here that an offset of this or that amount worked for the kind of problem I've been having; for example 382 milliseconds.

But what in the heck does that mean and how do you translate that into actual numbers on the offset dial:

Is it SMPTE/MTC Offset: 00:00:03:82

Or

SMPTE/MTC Offset: 03:82:00:00

Or some other way.

Iâ€™m confused.
