Recorded audio misaligned by 1 measure

In X1 Producer, I've had an occasional issue with recorded audio being 1 measure late after the take. The clip is inserted at the right point in the timeline but there is just mysteriously 1 measure of silence added at the beginning. I just had it happen again using X1c update. It's an easy fix to just trim the beginning and move the clip, but it's a little annoying anyway. Anyone else have this? Is there something specific that might cause this? Bug? User error?

That happens to me from time to time... usually only on a first take. It pays to watch the timeline and wave because you will see it being written late.

Just stop and start again. 

solved.

This seems to happen only on some systems, and there's a tie in with metronome count-in. It won't happen if count-in is disabled, though that may not be possible if a recording has to start at 1:01:000. Switching from WDM to ASIO  driver mode of vice versa might help. There's also an option in AUD.INI (accessible through Preferences > Audio > Configuration FIle) to UseHardwareSamplePosition that might have a bearing if you're using ASIO. I think it's "True" by default.


Disabling/enabling the metronome may help clear the problem if it's intermittent.


P.S. Firefox doesn't work properly with the forum software, and I've had hangs with IE9. Chrome seems to work best, but reply formatting can still be flaky.

I've also seen this happen a couple of times. No idea what was different about that particular take. Never had it happen on 2 takes in a row.

I had it happen a LOT with the last version of Sonar I had (8.5) but have not with X1.  But then I also switched to ASIO driver mode at that point and had been using WMD before.  Not sure if that's related or not...

If everyone who can reproduce it with any consistency would bug it and/or contact support, it might get fixed. I've personally never seen it happen, so it must be some sort of interoperability problem with certain audio drivers.

Have you tried switching the driver mode? Which mode are you using now?

This happened to me last week on my office DAW (Win7 64bit with X1c).  It's not consistent as I have tried a couple of times since reading this post and it is not doing it.

I have a Metronome project I use for making click tracks which consists of an 8 bar MIDI file and one instance of TTS-1.  Once I have the required meter & tempo set, I do a VO of the first two bars on an audio track.

I am almost sure the first time it happened I saw the wave file while recording but when I stopped and it printed, it was moved 1 bar forward.  It happened a second time and I had setup punch-in points for those two bars.  Ended up having one bar of office noise and the first bar of VO?

I'll try to pay closer attention to the circumstances next time and try again to duplicate it.  However, once I stopped and re-recorded, it alligned correctly.
 
EDIT: also using ASIO with an M-Audio 192

I submitted an official bug report and even received a reply from Cakewalk saying they'd received it and were able to reproduce the error.  That was V7 or 8, not sure.  They know about it...
