Hi, just started to get into recording direct to my (decent quality) laptop which makes things nice and simple (no files to import / export from my multitrack recorder etc.)
Problem is, aside from slight latency (which I'm happy to correct by manually dragging the recordings into sync with the midi drum track), there also seems to be a slight varience in timing with each recording.
For example, if I play a cool guitar riff bang in time witrh the drums, when I drag it back into sync with the first beat of the drums (to correct the latency), I'm finding that the guitar riff seems to wander off beat slightly. And no, it's not just my sloppy playing, ha ha.
What coudl be causing this? Could it be that the laptop transfering / recording at a variable rate? I'm going direct from POD 2.0 into the laptop's line in port. The problem also occurs when I use a decent quality seperate USB audio interface.
Advice / suggestions welcome.
