Multiple recorded tracks don't sync up...

Post by JacobERobison » Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:44 pm

I have been trying to record one guitar riff into audacity through my Line 6 POD X3 Live (USB input) I have no problem recording directly into Audacity, however... when I try and record a second track in parallel with the first, I play in time with what I hear played back, however... the tracks do not sync up during playback of both tracks. Is this an issue with system memory? Buffer length? input type? I just want to be able to record a full song all on my own track by track... without having to sync up the timing on my own. Thanks in advance -J
