I was noticing that my bass guitar playing seemed rushy and thought it might be time for another sync test.
I connected a cable from my analog headphone amp's output to an input on my presonus mixer.
I soloed an analog track, and recorded its output (through the headphone output and analog input above) onto a new track.
Sure enough, the copied version of the audio was ahead by 1020 samples. No problem, just go into EDIT=> PREFERENCES => AUDIO => SYNC AND CACHING and play with the MANUAL OFFSET under "Record Latency Adjustment" until the incoming wave syncs with the pre-recorded stuff.
Only thing is, whether I set the offset to 0, 5, 1000, 5000 or even -5000, the new, copied audio is about 1020 samples ahead of the original. The system seems to be completely ignoring the Manual Offset setting. I experimented with checking and un-checking "Use ASIO Reported Latency" and it doesn't make a difference.
I've tried multiple takes, and closing Cakewalk and going back in; no difference.
Please help, and thank you.
