falls out of time

Hi, the problem I'm having is this. I put a drum loop in track 1, basically this is a metronome for me and I play along to it and record in track 2. When I play it back it starts to fall away from the loop and gets all out of time with it?
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
I have a p4 pc and a firepod. I just reformated my pc and it was fine before so I think it's just something in my settings? Thanks again
 
mine kept doing that, it would start off fine and start to drift out of time about a quarter through the song. i went into settings>multitrack and clicked the box labled "correct for drift" and now everything lines up. only downside is that after you record a track you have to wait a few seconds for the program to line everything back up. it works fine though.
 
Thanks but I never had to do that before? It's taking a long time to line it back up?
I just turned on the metronome and plugged my guitar in. I watched as I recorded and I could see the line that leads the wave going in getting further and further away from what was being recorded? It has to b something else in the settings?
 
you can adjust the buffer settings to help with it. i'm not all the experienced with that but if you go in to the help menu it will explain it all.
 
Just click the "adjust fro drift" box as was already mentioned. It's your computers processiong power that determines how quick or slowly this drift is corrected.

My Pentium IV 3.0GHZ and 1Gig DDR 400 corrects a 4 minute track instantly

Check latency settings if using 2.0 with AISO

Where can I change latency settings!

I use AA 2,0 and my system works (badly) with ASIO drivers (full duplex)

The card is SB Live (cheap one but works fine with AA 1,5)
OS = XP
Computer is OK: Intel P4 3,06 gHz with 1024 Mb RAM

Windows audio drivers are removed and SB are installed.

One more time! Everything works nicely in version 1,5.

Latency problems are only with 2,0 version
 
Finaly I found the way to change buffering setting to 512.
(It was over 2000 before)
It did not solve the problem.
It is probably my audio card.
 
I am using CEP 2.0 and run a P3 450mhz with only 512meg of mem and a Riptide soundcard and I have never had any problems with tracks not lining up. I've had it loaded up with 20+ tracks and it's been rock steady. I The only problem I have with tracks slowing down is when I import a MIDI file and have it trigger out though the MIDI out cable via my game port to a drum machine and run the audio back into CEP to record it as a regular audio track, but that's only when I am messing with the mouse and clicking on other menus in CEP does it slow down the audio track as it is being recorded. If I leave it alone until it's done both MIDI and audio tracks are perfectly in sync. I do know that CEP doesn't work with ASIO drivers. I don' think the program was set up to use them. My band buddy uses CEP 2.0 and a S/B audigy card and has no problems like that either.
 
If your card syncs up its word clock to your mixer or whatever the input device is, everything ought to stay in time. Otherwise, tick the boxes for "Correct for drift in recording" and "Correct for start sync in recording" in the Options/Settings/Multitrack tab.

You can also right click on each track in Multitrack View and click on "Lock in Time for Playback."

I have used CEP 2,0 and A.Audition 1,5 with SB Live card.
Never problems at all. Many tracks in multisection with real effects etc etc.

I'm talking about A. Audition 2,0 with ASIO drivers. Latency problems start only in that case. I'm sure this card doesn't support ASIO drivers.

AA 2,0 works fine with windows audio drivers.
 
My band buddy also tried using Cubase with the S/B board and had lots of problems with latency. We attributed it to ASIO conflicts with that sound card. I have heard others say they've also had problems with other sound cards and other programs that use ASIO drivers if their mother board does not use an INTEL chipset. I seems the ASIO drivers do not like off brand chipsets especially VIA chipsets. Obviously that's not the best way to go if your board is not Intel equiped.
 
I think it's whether it's SSE enabled. My recording computer uses AMD and ASIO with no problems. One difficulty with ASIO is that it's only available for one device at a time.
 
Yes, AMD was also mentioned as being able to work well with ASIO drivers. Sorry I left that one out!
