Keyboard Shortcut For Audio Sync MPC HC (Created)

S/N    KEYBOARD
SHORTCUT              FUNCTION

1 Ctrl + Shift + 1   Audio Delay + 10ms

2 Ctrl + Shift + 2   Audio Delay – 10ms

The keyboard shortcut or hotkeys required for this process are ctrl + shift + 1 and ctrl + shift + 2, using the timing of 5 seconds.

Ctrl + Shift + 1 stands for audio delay up, should be used when audio is slower than video.

Ctrl + Shift + 2 stands for audio delay down, should be used when audio is faster than video.
