Recording Lag

Post by riannaking » Sun Sep 18, 2011 10:52 pm

When I go to record something, there is about a 1second lag/delay between when I play something to when I hear it on the program. Is there a way to calibrate the playback delay or a way to fix this problem?

What sort of microphone are you recording with?
Which version of Windows?
Which (exact) version of Audacity (look in "Help > About Audacity").

If you reboot your computer there should be a screen come up that says which version of Windows you are using. Alternatively, if you have a "My Computer" icon on your Desktop, right click on it and select "Properties".
