Subject:MTC sync is very loose

I am trying to sync a computer running Acid with two other computers using MTC. One is a
ProTools/NT machine locked to superclock. One is a Cubase VST/24 machine with a Lexicon Studio
interface locked to wordclock. The Acid machine has an SEKD Prodif 96/Pro audio interface locked to
wordclock. All 3 computers are Pentium III/500's with 128 MB of RAM. Acid's MTC lock is no where
near as tight as it should be. I am only able to use Acid to process my loops, then I have to transfer
them to ProTools or Cubase to play them locked to timecode.

Acid has so many cool features that it's a shame it won't play back in sync. By the way, if I run Logic
Audio or Cubase instead of Acid on that PC, the MTC sync is excellent. Any ideas?
