Synching problems.
    #5497100 - 04/09/06 04:19 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Ok, so. I have my preamp, audiphile soundcard, and a mic.

I am recording with audacity. Now, I guess there is some lag between when I play and when it records into the computer, so audacity pushes the new track back a bit when you record it. This should work fine.

However, I will be recording a new track over an old one, and then I am absolutely positive I am playing it right, and on time. But it appears that for some reason the lag gets smaller as I play, because slowly the second track starts to get ahead of the first, and they lose synch. I have tried many many times and am pretty sure it is not my playing.

Whats the deal? Its very frustrating.

Step to take:

1.Ditch Audacity...thats program is pure shit.

2. Download Cubase SX (Luckly I still got the site)

http://www2.fixdown.com/soft/13111.asp

(After clicking "download" it will take you to a new page. On the new page there are gonna be a bunch of "?" atleast for me there are. Notice the 4 images of folders on the page now Click the "?'s? next to the folder on the bottom of the 4 and then save and download then install.)

3. set up your settings for you sound card. You should be able to adjust the latency issues with your soundcard and your computer so you dont have any latency.

From there you can layer your tracks through a sequencer.

Most likely your soundcard isnt fast enough to deal with the load. However, if you play strictly in time you should be able to shift the track you're overdubbing slightly to the left (ie move it a few milliseconds back) so that it sits in sinc....ive done this before with cubase, having exactly the same issue. it worked.

for ?150/$200 you should be able to pick up a soundcard thatll eliminate that problem...

It was just audacity being stupid. I fixed it by switching to cubase as was recommended. I had to make the switch anyways.
