Re: Generating an audio timecode track?

I spent many years using analog linear edit systems in my studio. My edit controllers could read either linear (audio) timecode or VITC (vertical interval timecode) from Betacam or 3/4"SP videotapes in the edit source and record decks. Some decks had built-in TC generators and were used to "pre-stripe" the editmaster tapes in advance. Timecode was generated in the field recorder to tape during the shoot. I had a standalone audio TC generator that is sitting around somewhere in storage. Maybe this signal could be fed into an audio input to Vegas or Sound Forge to record that distinct signal - or not! If you are interested in it, let me know.
