I'm having a small issue here and I'd like to see if I could get to the bottom of it:
I've been using Mixcraft 7 for awhile now and I love the program. However, only about 4 months ago did this problem start happening. I do metal arrangements of video game/anime music and have been doing it for about a year now, and recently, I can record my guitar (or any instrument for that matter) and when I listen to the playback of it, there seems to be a noticeable latency/lag between my guitar timing and my drums (EZDrummer). It sounds fine when I'm playing along with the tune and recording, but the playback seems to have my guitar just barrrrley lagging behind the beat.
I've played around with the preferences by lowering the MS delay (which ended up giving me buzzing noises in audio), increased and decreased the HZ, flip flopped from AISO to WaveRT, and I can't seem to shake it. I think it's worth to note, I don't have a dedicated sound card and I'm using a Line 6 UX2. But I wouldn't need a sound card anyways with the UX2 being connected with a USB, right? (Basically asking if a dedicated sound card is necessary).
Now, I know that I can turn off the whole "Snap to Grid" thing and just manually adjust the recording to fit with the drums/other instruments, which I've been doing and it's been working out all right for me. However I'd like to avoid doing that if at all possible. The dream of just recording, normalizing and moving on to the next track
Or is it just a case that I have poor timing do you think?Any thoughts?
