Tracks out of time- lagging or leading- a fix Latency

Post by phill3550 » Wed Mar 25, 2009 3:00 pm

How to I cure the lag when I record track 2 when listening to track 1 I recorded previously? I am using a music keyboard connected from its output plug to the Line In on my computer. the lag is not good when I record the second track while listening to track 1. Any ideas using v1.3.7

I have now solved this problem!
In EDIT>Preferences Audio In?OUT, change "latency correction". Change the value to -145. The value works on my computer after trying a wide range of values from +200 to -200. Also other setting I used were
Audio Buffer box default of 100.
Software Playthrough OFF
Over dub checked ON
Channels MONO (don't need stereo with a music keyboard)
Playback Device MME:Microfoft Sound Mapper Output
Recording Device MME:Microfoft Sound Mapper Input
I use Windows XP
