2 glitches

[stronghollow]

Hey dudes I have noticed that if I use my scroll button on my mouse in the 'Help/About Audacity' window the program shuts down. Minor.

The major problem I'm having is that it doesn't seem to be recording at the right speed. It's not a matter of just moving a track over that isn't in sync. The new track is actually slightly faster, and therefore shorter, making the entire track more out of sync from start to finish. There's no way I'm going to waste my time stretching tracks to fit, so does anyone know if there's a wierd 'record tempo' setting or something that I'm missing?

I'm working in Vista Home Premium 32bit, 4GB DDR, 3.2 Quadcore Extreme OC 1066, set in audio creation mode so I have next to zero latency. Large sessions open in milliseconds and I have no other problems. Also, I have no Vista related problems with any software that I didn't already have problems with in XP, if anyone is wondering.

That's odd about the scroll wheel killing Audacity, it doesn't do it to my XP machine.

As for your real problem, you've got a sound card clocking issue, most likely. Are you using a motherboard sound card?

Just to make sure though, the sample rate you're recording at is set in Audacity's main screen, lower left hand corner (the Project Sample Rate). Try changing that to something else (like 48KHz or 96KHz) and see if you can record multi-track stuff correctly at that rate. Often the 44.1KHz setting doesn't work quite right but the other sample rates will.

I don't think there's any way around a clocking problem other than getting new audio hardware.

Wierd. I dunno about the clocking problem, cuz i dont have it in Cool Edit Pro 2. The only problem with that program is it crashes like mad when you're mixing large sessions.
