Tempo issue when importing a wav file

I have a Mixcraft song project saved. Its a drum track and some rhythm and lead tracks. Last night I decided to do the guitar tracks again and I was in another location so I used a Boss BR1200 Digital workstation. I recorded,saved and took the tracks (saved as WAV's)on a flashdrive and imported them into Mixcraft. I made sure all the tempos on each track were the same #. In this case, it's 72.4920. The new guitar parts are "off". Even thought the tracks are same tempo and lined up......you can hear the guitar is behind the beat. I dont know why. I 've done this before and had no issues. Yes, I can record directly into the PC (usually do)and do them over.....but this was a lot of work and I want to keep what I recorded already. Its 2 lead tracks a clean track and 2 rhythms.
Am I missing something? If all the tempos are the same #, why would this happen. For the record, the original rhythm track that was previously recorded is fine and the same tempo. Anyone?

Were the new tracks you imported, recorded at the same bit depth and sample rate as the rest of the project?

Hey Eric, its Noel. Not sure of that info. Is there a way I can check it now? This never happened before. I know the easiest way is to rerecord it thru the Pc, but if I can resolve it using these tracks, it would be better.

Noel who? Just kidding

If you right click the wav file and choose properties, then go to the advanced or details tab, you might have to click a button labeled "advanced", I am going off memory here.
Anyway, it shoudl tell you those details.

Ill check the numbers on those and also the wav files recorded in MC. If they don't match, I assume I should just do it all over in mc then?

You could try converting from wav to wav, or from wav and make sure to convert to the same formatting that Mixcraft records with, which is probably 44100/16
If you have a 32 bit OS you can use our audio converter pro for that.
