question about latency

ok so I have started recording my bass guitar using my Behringer UCA202 audio interface… I imported a song from my music file to play along with it, everything went well, but after I played it again it seems like my the sound of my bass is delayed and it can’t keep up with the music, so I asked around and they told me about latency. so what I did was i used the “cut” tool to fix the track of my bass so it would be synchronized with my music, but I can’t do this with other songs coz the “cut” tool is not really accurate I mean you have to do it manually. is there any other way??

under “edit preferences”
overdub: checked
latency audio buffer: 100 milliseconds
latency correction: -100 milliseconds

This really isn’t a “forum issue”.

What computer and operating system are you using, and what version of Audacity?

Have a look at this tutorial (assuming you are using Audacity 1.3.12): http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Latency_Test

In your case you will want to loop the RCA outputs back to the RCA inputs of the UCA-202.
