I'm experimenting with recording my jazz trio. I'm trying an interesting (weird?) setup:
I record with a Zoom H2.
I also record by plugging my electric keyboard directly into my laptop, and recording with Audacity. So, the Zoom records the three of us, and the laptop records only the piano. I then combine the two recordings in audacity, lining up the two audio streams. This gives me the ability to adjust the relative volume of the piano versus the other instruments.
Here's a weird problem I don't understand.
This works OK for a tune recorded at the beginning of the rehearsal (I leave both devices on all the time). Here's an example:
View attachment BlueBossaExcerptCombined.mp3
However, for a tune recorded towards the end of the rehearsal, it does not work:
View attachment TynerCombined.mp3
Apparently, the "time base" is off somehow, so that even if I line up the tracks, they very soon get out of sync.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there anything I could do to improve this?
Using XP and Audacity 2.0.0.
