somtimes when i drag an Audio file into a track it is out of sink with the rest of the track and a click...i will have to clip a tiny bit off the front to make it back in time...very odd

i want to sort it out before i start recording on a 24 track and importing lots of audio!

cheers
 
do you have the Snap function on? If not, none of your audio will be in sync if you move it. It's one of the buttons on the top of the screen, with the vertical bar in it (I'm asuming your using SX?)
 
Im useing SL 2.2.35

I will be up gradeing to SX very soon

i was not sure about the "snap" function...is it one of the botton on the top ?:)

there are a few i dont use and dont know what there for...guess its time to learn :)

cheers
 
yes indeed, to me, it is THE function to use. If you don't get that, it's pretty much not possible to make a decent mix. Learn ;)

The snap button looks like this: >|<
There are 3 boxes next to it, the first I don't use, the second says Bar, Beat or Use Quantize. The third one is the Quantize. Mess around with them to see what they do.
 
yes...thats the thing about cubase and so on.....once you are up and away...you cant be bothered to leanr moe about it..:). Im sure there are lots of tricks i am not useing....i think its time to get back to Cubase study :)

cheers
 
I do lots of imports into Cubase SL from my Mackie recorder and the trick is to make sure you always have the position bar set at 0 (ie. always select the return to beginning |< button before you import a track). The only times I've had the same problem were when I would listen to a sample of the track I just imported and then immediately selected another track to import to without returning to the beginning.

Otherwise it works great. I do a lot of live recording of sets that are up to 90 minutes long and do not have any timing problems when I do this.

Good luck,
Darryl.....
 
cool thanks for your help...im lookinf forward to giving it a try
 
this doesnt work when recording audio though. unless you specificly time the recoding and set the thing to stop recording at the end of the blue bit. awwwww im too tired. u know what i mean right? i supose u could just start recoding a bit before but recodin to a specific line. ermmm i think ive just figued out something every1s been doin 4 years. go me. USING THE SNAP OPTION PROPERLY!
 
solution

hold down "Alt" when you drag the wav between tracks. This was the little timecode that pops up when dragging wavs will remain locked at zero. I think its "alt" might me "ctrl" now that i think about it.
