Ok heres my problem. I usually like to record my own songs over instrumentals and i ofcoarse sing along perfectly to the beat i made. But for some reason, lately when i do this my singing and my beat don't match. Its like they start of macthing but my vocals seem to speed up as the song goes on, then it doesn't match the beat anymore. and its not like i can fix this by changing the speed. Im pretty sure im singing along to the beat correctly. This problem went away for a while and things were working perfectly, but now its back, can anyon help me with this.

It's a clocking problem. The jury is still out on whether it's caused by software or hardware, but I'm leaning strongly towards hardware.

As a quick fix, I've heard it said that most people can record at 48KHz (instead of the usual 44.1KHz) without many problems. That's annoying since you'll then have to convert your files to the right sample rate in order to burn them to CD though.

Buying new hardware will most likely fix your problem. The clocks on those motherboard soundcards are crap.

I'm experiencing almost the same issue but with the beta version.
But I don't believe it's my microphone.

Do you have a website (i.e Myspace, Soundclick) where people can hear your songs?
