John's guide was a good synopsis of methods which are applicable

KaChing!
Obviously, the 3Ti doesn't do auto-exposure on the ambient. This is
where the wet-ware does the auto-exposure of the ambient. The flashes
kinda do their own thing.

If you run a shutter speed faster than 1/60, you'll get partial
blocking of the image to the flash exposure. But if your subject is in
the middle, and the flash is not responsible for lighting anything but
the subject, then you can usually run a sync speed of 1/125. I've gone
1/250, but wouldn't recommend it. One stop is quite doable, though.
