  • Page 117 AWSomation Pro Tools Setup Notes It is expedient to make a note of the timecode standard that was used for a particular AWS mixing project. AWSomation automatically detects the timecode standard from the incoming MTC messages. It will quite happily attempt to play out stored mix data to incoming timecode with a different frame rate, but this will result in small but potentially annoying timing errors in automation playback.
