Hello ladies and gents.
I have a really annoying problem that I can't seem to fix.
When I try to record more than one track I get a lag on the sound (I'm not recording more than one track at the same time, just adding a track for example vocals). It starts off in perfect sync but then the longer it records, the greater the "lag" gets. Since it's not a constant lag it's impossible to correct it manually. On my last computer I had no such issues... it had a SB live in it too.
I've tried different softwares (Magix Studio 2005, cubase etc)= and I have the same problem in all of em
I'm running a p4 3ghz with 4gig ram, SB Live(latest drivers) and a brand new seagate HD (7200rpm).
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello ladies and gents.
SB Live(latest drivers)
I hate to say it, but the soundblaster itself is likely the source of your problem. You can try the ASIO4all drivers for it, but if the problem is a low quality clock on the card itself, your only option will be a sound card that can keep a consistent internal time.
Oh - are you using Vista? I just upgraded my laptop *and* my desktop to new systems that came with Vista installed. I quickly found out Vista was pretty much useless as a recording platform until the drivers for my Omega and my Delta 66 get finished. :evil: :evil: :evil:
If you opt for new hardware, make sure it has drivers for your operating system!
64 Studio and Ubuntu Studio (linux) both work very well with my new systems though. I can still get some work done :)
Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
in Cubase you can alter the buffers to reduce latency.
IMO it sounds like latency between tracks is the problem.
I have a soundblaster sound card. everything works great.
I use Cubase.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I fixed the issue. Got the latest AISO drivers and now it works perfect in Reaper at least. haven't tried Magix but I never really liked that software anyways.
