Latency problem again

I was recording an overdub, and it played back behind the beat, like it did when I’d just started with Audacity. Any idea how this could happen, and do I have go go through the whole latency thing with the mic in the headphones?

Yes, and maybe not.

Latency or delay is the time it takes for the sound to get into Audacity and the time it takes to get back out. As you fill up your drive or fragment the storage, it can take longer and longer.

Did it only do this once? Does it still do it if you shut down your Mac and start it up again? You can get problems like this if you have more things running on your machine than you think.

Don’t let anything like Skype or Zoom automatically start.

The lag is still there. Why would this happen, after performing perfectly for so many years? Is there anything special I need to do before I do the mic in the headphones?

I should mention that I’m still using 3.05
