Can anyone tell me where I can find a calcualtor that adds and subtracts time in hrs/min/sec? In remixing live recordings It sure would make life easier!
Thanx

Here's an old trick that works on any calculator. Enter your times, substituting a zero for the colon that separates minutes from seconds. So one minute, 30 seconds (1:30) would be entered as 1030. Keep entering your times in this way, and hit equals to get a total. Now add 940 to the total, as many times as it takes to get the final two digits under 60. That's your total time.
EXAMPLE: 1:30 + 1:30 = ?
1030 + 1030 = 2060 + 940 = 3000, or 3:00
You can do hours/minutes/seconds the same way by replacing the colons with 0s and looking to see whether the minutes, or seconds exceed 60. If so, add 940000 or 940 (even 940940 if both are above 60) until things work out right. (I hope I have this last thing right... it's been a while since I've had to do serious number-crunching of times!)

Great trick! Never heard about that. Thank you RossW.
Here's a link to a free musician's calculator, which is not a simple adding calculator as wanted by TheSeeker, but usefull for other purposes.
