It seems to be just this one project that has the problem. If I import an audio file it works fine. The project that skips is the only one that is multiple tracks. All the others are either solo trumpet or guitar and vocal (recorded at the same time).

How can I align my tracks if you can't listen to the tracks you've already recorded and record at the same time?
