I was recording a bass track and I had started over a few times because during playback, it sounded like I was waay out on top of the beat. Then I started testing, just tapping a string along with the metronome, tempo 130 BPM, and it turns out that what is getting recorded is about 40 milliseconds ahead of the timeline. I even began to notice the recording track jump out ahead of the time line whenever I hit record. This is completely opposite of what I would expect to happen, if anything, with latency, I'd expect what I recorded to be behind. So anyway I have just started scooting everything 40 ms "to the right" to get it to line up, but I've been using this software a couple of years now and haven't had to do this before. I record live audio tracks with microphones only. I'm using a stock soundcard (SoundMAX or something like that) 1/8th stereo in & out...Dell PC...Anybody run into this before/know how to fix it?

You're fighting a cheap POS onboard soundcard with 40cents worth of chips in it... they dont have low latency ASIO drivers.

You REALLY need to get an external ASIO interface.

Go read the soundcard guide over on Tweak's Guide www.tweakheadz.com

I understand my sound card is crap. I'm not experiencing latency, I'm experiencing "reverse latency"(?). The stuff I record ends up ahead of, not behind existing tracks. This did not happen the first few sessions. I haven't changed anything that I'm aware of. Haven't found anything in help or FAQs

You should try asio4all driver. I use this besides my external Steinberg MI 4 audio interface with a good ASIO driver on its own. But when I'm on the train and I just want to edit audio/MIDI stuff or record internal VST instruments it's noch problem at all, especially no significant latency.

However, when recording external audio stuff with microphones or audio plugs (keys/guitars) I take my MI 4 for that reason of course.
