Recording to aux track

[Helios.G]

Hey guys,  I was working on a mix today, and usually in my mixes I have  2 aux tracks.  One is called STATIC MIX  and the other is called F. MIX.   I've done this for a long time now, at least since sonars had aux tracks, so I wanna say since X3 or so...  I've never had issues with this, but today I tried to record the static mix, and it plays back just fine, but when I hit record, everything plays and records back staggered.  I can't make heads or tails of it, so I'm asking here, maybe someone's run into this before.

Not quite sure what "staggered" means, but it could be active plugins with a look-ahead buffer somewhere in the project. If you are still running tracking buffers, you could try bumping those up to see if that helps. Even Melodyne (as an FX) recommends a pretty massive buffer (like 2048) to function properly if actively running in a project.

Staggered as in everything plays off time, some tracks play on time, others come in late. But it only happens when I hit record.  If I just play it, it plays normally. Also, I have my buffer already at 2048, that's where I set it for mixing. Lastly, not a single plugin is turned on, cause it's just the static mix, so only volume and panning has been set, nothing else.  Thanks for replying, I really appreciate the help
