NEED help with mutirack

JRTwine	Date: May 5, 2006 @ 4:35 PM i have a tascam interface a c01u samsung condenser mic and some m-audio moniter speakers ok heres the problem... when i record on cool edit then when i press stop my vocals move back it goes off beat so when i try to put it back on beat it still is off beat it seems like the vocals tempo was changed somehow i went to settings it seems like nonthing is wrong but i dont know i need help
LikquaB	Date: May 7, 2006 @ 8:38 AM yea, gettin' ur vocals on-beat could've been made easier in cool edit... anyway, i always record my verses in edit waveform view and play the beat in windows media player or whatever.. that way at least you're sure u have the right flow. Then just get both into multitrack and align the vocals with the beat, sometimes ya have to zoom in to like 0.01 spaces to get it right.
pog	Date: May 16, 2006 @ 8:39 PM It sounds like you have a latency issue, possible brought on from running too much software in the background, or spyware, or even a harddrive that needs deframenting. Also, if you are running the software with the device set as "wave" or "soundmapper", it may be using too much software processing, thus causing a lag. Change it so that it records straight from the input on the soundcard you're using in the cooledit configuration menu. Hope this helps
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 16, 2006 @ 10:36 PM Latency .. yes, good points pog but the main cause of latency (other than a slow computer setup) is a bad soundcard and/or drivers. Direct monitoring (recording via the soundcard) works better with ASIO drivers, most inbuilt audio only has crappy mme windows drivers. It wouldn't matter if you had cool edit, FL, logic, sonar, cubase or protools, a bad soundcard and drivers = latency and sync problems.

InsaneWayne	Date: May 27, 2006 @ 8:05 PM how much RAM are ya running? I use cakewalk pro audio 9 for multitracking and an older simpler version of cool edit for effect proccesing. I use a 400Mhz Pentium I found in a dumpster, now with 420MbRam. Seems to me Ram is more important then speed when working with audio.... Expiraments with Internet Audio Mix, gave me this same problem often, for some reason the next track to be overdubbed allways started with the curser 2 seconds after the begining.... The PC I record with is NOT the one I use online, cant catch a virus (or spyware) if you aint online.
Engine11RDenny	Date: May 29, 2006 @ 10:44 AM I have the same problem while editing tracks that are in a session. If I do a vocal track and go back and silence the empty areas in the track to clean it up. When I switch back to session mode the vocal track is out sometimes. So untill I know exactly what is causing this it pays to just do all the tracks right then not have to edit in session mode. I have the same card on an older Dell model [Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit sound card] Could it be that the modem shares the sound card? Also when I do a collab I send a DMusicianer the song track I want them to add their track to. And ask for First: their track alone - hirate MP3 Second: A mix of the first 20 seconds or so of their track and the song track i sent them. The reason for the mix track sample is so I can put that into session mode with the my original WAVE file of the song and ZOOM in to line up the first drum beat peak. Then I usually have to move the Original WAVE file ahead about 1200 samples - The MP3 coding seams to have something to do with this [mixing mp3's and wav's in session mode] Then I add their solo track and mix. So LikquaB is right when all else fails ZOOM baby ZOOM. Later Ron
