D90 and External Sound Sync

Nice - It's pretty much a clapper without the slate. It may be a good idea to actual use a slate. Utilize the Film method. That is if you have several clips you need to be able organize.
 
I have a question regarding this.

I understand how to get the audio to sync up, but for some reason, my externally recorded audio is going quicker than the video. Is it something to do with frame-rates? The audio and the video get out of sync REALLY quickly (like 20 seconds).
 
Bryan, that is due to the marginal differences in clock speed between the two devices.
 
no, we've been over this before. there should be no noticeable sync drift due to "clock speeds". no recorder i've ever used has had any problem holding perfect sync for hours, not even many non-crystal tape recorders and cameras have problems holding sync for 20 seconds. check your settings so that your timeline is set up the same way as your source clips. it's the computer that plays the sound too fast for some reason.
