Sending and Receiving RTS with Source-Connect Studio/Facility
As of Source-Connect 4, RTS no longer uses the Rewire plugin since, among other things, the plugin does not support Apple Silicon chips. Instead, Source-Connect Talent 4.0 relies on MTC (MIDI timecode) to both send and receive remote transport sync (RTS). The most common scenario for talent will be to receive timecode, which will be described in more detail below.
Configuring your setup to receive RTS is now a three-step process:
- Creating a MIDI device to share RTS (this will apply to both sending and receiving RTS)
- On macOS
- On Windows
- Configuring Source-Connect and your DAW (depending on your needs):
- To send RTS via MTC in Source-Connect 4 and send MTC on your DAW.
- To send RTS via LTC in Source-Connect 4 and send LTC on your DAW.
- To receive RTS via MTC in Source-Connect 4 and receive MTC in your DAW.
- To receive RTS via LTC in Source-Connect 4 and receive LTC on your DAW.
- Establishing a connection with your connection partner.
