Note: If you chose the SMPTE Drop time format, the offset must compensate for dropped frames. For example, you must

In the left of the status bar, Adobe Audition reports the following synchronization statuses:
• Opened MIDI Input Device when waiting for incoming timecode.
• Synchronizing when establishing synchronization. (Adobe Audition requires about 5 seconds of timecode, known
