This was a helpful article, it's nice to see topics like this covered. My first encounter with timecoding was on a hog at my church. It's interesting to me though, because the order they gave for how to program it was different than what I was taught. I was taught working with SIMPTE, and the person teaching me said to first listen to the track, and then go listen again and create a cue exactly where you want it, then come back and build it. This idea always made sense to me, you identify where you want cues and the basic description of them, then you come back and write it, rather than writing and cue and coming back to decide where to place it. But it's always good to hear about other ways to do things, to be able to improve our won ways. I think this article gave some pretty good tips.
