Agree the Tentacle seems to prefer to be the driver, not the passenger.
On one shoot where an audio engineer was working with his soundboard which used a Word Clock system feeding into his PC for recording the audio, I don’t think we were able to have his audio include my Tentacle Timecode. On a multi-camera shoot, I elected to record my own audio for the set via the MixPre-6 II. That proved to be was a good precaution as the audio engineer screwed up his recording of the first song and it was unusable whereas my recording was fine. I just eyeballed syncing his material in Resolve which works fine in a pinch.
