Audio Delay once recording?

When I open a new audio track and record from my microphone, I have my headphones on with the midi tracks I recorded playing through my headphones. I sing through the microphone on time, with the metronome playing throughout the song. When I go to playback, my vocals are about 1/2 a beat off of the music, but it was on the entire time when I was singing. Any suggestions?

    I had the same problem, it was a latency problem of sorts. do you have a mixer. if so then monitor from the mixer, and turn off input monitoring in cakewalk. Also adjust the latency buffering slider until it matches up. But the input monitoring will cause problems, so get a decent little mixer and go that route.

    JH20sjr:
    I have the same problem. I have traced it to a continual shift of about a tenth of a second per minute between recording and playback. I recorded a metronome on track one for a minute and then played it back and recorded at the same time on track 2. The program shifts the timing; I changed buffer settings and loaded new drivers and disabled monitoring. Nothing helped. Do you still have the same problem.

    Hey,

    I've had that problem (audigy2nx) with about a 30ms latency (which is noticable with the metronome). I tweaked with the ASIO4ALL drivers (asio4all.com, works with most any soundcard) and it fixed the problem and I'm back to work. Hope that can help you.

    What do you mean tweaked? Once the drivers are installed, what else do you have to do?

    On ASIO4ALL, you can adjust a lot of factors (buffers, hardware buffer, buffer size, latency compensation). I just ran Cakewalk (I was using SONAR, its the same basic audio engine) and loaded a 56 track song. I turned the buffer size slider until it ran all of the tracks without too much processor load (around 60% on the CPU meter). Quick questions, what sound card are you using and are you using MC Pro? If you're not using Pro than ASIO drivers won't load. If that's the case, e-mail or phone your sound card manufacturer and see if you can work out the problems.

    Hope that helps or even makes sense.
