Recording issues with X2

I need some help. After recording my drum track (regular acoustic drums ) I try to lay a guitar track to the drums, but the guitar is always a 1/4 to a 1/2 second behind the drums on the play back. I tried quantize to no avail. Any suggestions? Seems kind of silly spending all this money on software, mics, interface and I can't record drums and a guitar in sync.

If you have effects on your tracks, freeze the tracks and the aforementioned buffer settings are crucial.

I'll look into all of the above. I have the Tascam 1800 interface. Buffers are pretty much maxed to prevent dropouts. Thanks for the advice, I will experiment with your ideas.

This is also an interesting thread for people trying to figure out best buffer settings.

An easy test to see if effects that are loaded in the problem project is to simply hit the letter 'E' on your computer keyboard, and then play the project.  This toggles on/off the bypassing of all effects in the project.  
 
IF the dropouts and crackles and such go away, then most likely at least one, if not more, of the loaded effects in the project are causing/contributing to the problems.
 
IF the dropouts do NOT go away, then the cause of the troubles lie elsewhere, and other steps to resolve can be followed.
 
There are certain kinds of effects that, when loaded and used while recording, use processing techniques to do what they do that by their nature can cause these types of problems - this would include effects that use 'look-ahead processing', or consume a bunch of CPU.
 
So, those kinds of effects are actually meant to be used during mixing/mastering, and not during recording. Once you identify effects that are causing issues during recording, you can either swap them out until you finish tracking/recording, or you can bypass those effects (power them off) or bypass all effects ('E') just until you finish recording, and then you can load up those effects again for mixing - and also then bump up your ASIO Buffer Size to something like either 1024 or even 2048, if available, which makes the buffer large enough to accommodate those kinds of effects.  
 
Generally speaking, for the rest of time, you will need to adjust your ASIO Buffer Size to be low - like maybe 128 - during recording, and then bump it up to something like 1024 or 2048 when you begin mixing.  This is an easy thing to change back and forth as needed, and is just part of the process.
 
Again, it may well be that none of the above may apply, but it is an easy thing to test ('E' to bypass, then 'E' again to enable the effects again when done testing it).
 
I hope any of the above helps you,
