Mixcraft soundcard
Getting sound delays when recording on mixcraft using windows xp and the inbuilt soundcard. Will upgrading to an Audigy soundcard help? Someone suggested anti-virus programs may contribute. Is this true?
don't know if this helps (i'm on vista) but log off the internet while recording & turning off your antivirus & firewall ( i have avast) seems to help plus download this (it's free) http://www.asio4all.com/ and adjust your buffer sizes. hope that works for you. p.s. advice DO NOT upgrade to vista @ this time - if ya think ya got problems now ..... .

I've been trying to lay down a couple of rhythm section tracks in mixcraft 2.51 build 55 and when I say the tracks aren't in sync, I mean it. The bass track starts at the same time as the drum tracks but it is way faster and ends at least 10 seconds before the drum track. The song is 4 min and 10 seconds in length.
I've tried adjusting the number and size of buffers, the sample rate and bit depth. My drivers are ASIO and I've tried updating and none of that helps. I only just bought mixcraft last summer and have only used it a couple of times for recording my vinyls onto CD for which it works great but I don't know if I should upgrade to mixcraft 3 or purchase one of the full versions of the software that came with my external soundcard. (M-Audio).

Hi,
Mixcraft 2 doesn't support ASIO.
Try Mixcraft 3 for free, and use your ASIO drivers and see how ti goes.
The upgrade is $19.95 if you own version 2.
