LTC to MTC issues with Ableton

Continuing the discussion from About LiveMTC and Tempo:

I found a software based workaround for this. I use Ableton Live for my playback and setup each track with LTC audio file. The LTC audio file isn’t dependent on the warping (just keep warping off on the track).

I send the LTC over Dante to my PC running Dante Via and videotoolshed.com’s LTC Reader, which converts the LTC to MTC. All of this is software based.

I then have a MIDI usb connection to my board. I know it sounds janky but it’s worked with dozens of shows with no glitches. The key is to have a solid switch and a good computer to run it.

Hope this helps.
