Hello anyone!
I've recently been trying to record from a softsynth to an audio track but the recording has been adjusted too much for latency.
Each beat of the recording is very slightly before the actual beat! I assume cakewalk is over compensating for latency.
The latency adjustment for recording live instruments is perfect, so I know it's not a problem with my machine.
I have found a couple of posts from people with the same problem but nobody seems to have an answer.
I'm assuming that cakewalk knows how much to adjust recorded audio from the inputs on my soundcard and makes the same adjustment when recording a softsynth, even though the softsynth doesn't do the round trip back into the sound card. Meaning that the recorded softsynth ends up being slightly before the beat.
I've heard of the same issue in pro tools but you can turn of delay compensation individually for each track, which solves the problem.
I would love it if somebody had an answer for this, but It looks like nobody does!
Maybe somebody might have a good way of turning multiple softsynth outputs into separate audio tracks that I don't know about. I thought of freezing tracks and just pasting the frozen tracks to new audio tracks, which seems like a workaround I shouldn't have to do. But it does line up the tracks in the right place at least!
Has anyone got any ideas?
