I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks. I'll record one track, no problem. But when record a second track, it will be several beats off from the first. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the latency/buffer settings on my editor software, but I'm not sure how to set it properly.

I'm running through an M-Audio Fast Track USB, using several different audio editors, including Cool Edit Pro 2.0, Audacity, and Kristal.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Definitely sounds like latency issues. In your DAW (cool edit/adobe audition.. which I don't have anymore so I can't tell you for sure) you should go to hardware or setup, or wheverever you can select your soundcard, and make sure the right card is selected. I'll try to remember to look at my settings for mine.

are you getting monitoring delay? ie. you sing but hear it in your cans a few ms behind

maybe some sort of latency compensation is set and it is having a negative effect. make sure it's set to zero, then from there mess around with it an see if you can get things to sync up.

512 is a safe, moderately delay free buffer size if your not running the ultimate computer.

i know nothing of pc's or cool edit but will do my best to answer any general recording questions.

several 'beats' behind the source your playing to is a HUGE delay and does sound more like you have the wrong device selected.

Thanks for the help, guys. I played around with the buffer settings on the Cool Edit, every thing's working correctly now. Turning off my virus protection while recording helped a lot too, I guess it was hogging up a lot of memory.
