Every time I stop recording an audio track it's automatically snapping back four beats. It's driving me insane. Anyone know why this happening?
 
 
edit: added [Solved] to the Subject - scook

I don't have any ideas as to what could cause that.
 
So maybe I'm not understanding...
 
In order for 'snap back' I have to presume you are starting recording in the middle of the project somewhere or else to snap back you would have to lose audio.
 
Are you using punch or manually starting the recording?
 
You can turn the snap feature off with the N key or by clicking the snap icon in the control bar, but I presume you are not touching the clip when it is snapping. You are only hitting the stop button or space-bar.
 
Basically, I'm asking for more details.

Snapping back relative to what?
How many milliseconds is 4 beats? 
After it snaps back does it play back in synchrony with other tracks? 
 
It sounds like a possible delay compensation issue, but 4 beats is a long time at reasonable tempos. Are you using external gear? Are you using "mastering" plugins?

Solved it. Finally found another thread with the same problem. It was a matter of changing the clock source in preferences. Thanks, though.

Probably a bit misleading to mark this post as solved. The problem was never fully explained and the solution is a complete mystery. Anyone looking for a solution here is SOL.

No no, I think the solution is there. He was using one interface to record and something else as the timing master. So it was going at the time of 44.1 into a project at 48. As soon as he hit stop, it would compress the 44.1 to 48 and probably change the pitch too.
 
Am I right BMBurton?
 
So, the fix was to use the interface he was recording from as the timing master.
 
I'm guessing he probably wasn't using Asio which is kinda a default here, so we rarely think of problems people have who don't use Asio because we all do.
