Reducing Latency Using Wave drivers
Go to the Wave preferences and reduce the number of buffers and/or size. Try different settings to try and find the
right balance between performance and smooth non-gapping audio.
Reducing Latency Using ASIO
Go to the ASIO preferences and click the Open Mixer... button. Use your ASIO driver control to configure the
latency. Usually, you will have some way to set the latency in terms of milliseconds. If possible, choose 10
milliseconds. 40-80 milliseconds is also tolerable.
Reducing Latency Using WaveRT
Go to the WaveRT preferences and choose a lower latency time.
A
lways make sure that you have the latest drivers for your sound card. Visit your sound card manufacturer's
website to see if there is an update.
Notes Will Not Stop Playing!
If you are playing back Virtual Instrument Clips and some notes continue to play after stopping, then you have
'stuck' notes. T
he solution is to click MIDI Reset! from the Mix menu. This should stop all stuck notes on the virtual instruments
configured on the Virtual Instrument Tracks.
If this does not stop the notes from playing, try saving your project and restarting Mixcraft. If it is an external
synthesizer, try resetting or restarting the external synthesizer.
Recordings Are Drifting And/Or Start At The Wrong Time
Welcome to the world of inaccurate timing and sound cards. If you are overdubbing and notice that your
recordings are not lining up properly at the start, you'll need to adjust the offset or start time of the recorded sound.
Make sure snap is off and move the sound so that it lines up properly. You'll want to zoom in for the best accuracy.
Switching to an ASIO driver may help. In addition, purchasing a better sound device may help.
However, if your noticing that your recordings are slowly drifting over time, the problem is due to an inaccurate
clock on your sound card or sound device. Each device is made with more or less accurate clocks and not all
devices have the same time as an atomic clock, for example.
If you have a Soundblaster LIVE, try recording in 48 kHz mode, by switching your Sound Device preferences to
use the sample rate of 48,000 Hz.
Drift Work Around
A
ssuming the start of the sound is lined up properly, go to the end of the sound and visually time stretch it with
FlexAudio using the Ctrl key so that it lines up properly. Make sure to change the pitch shift mode to Do Not Fix
Pitch. Once you've lined up the end of the recording, you should be able to go to the Sound Details Tab to view
the time stretch percentage that was needed to get it in sync. (Example percentages will be around 99.995% or
100.004%) You can simply apply this drift percentage to all recordings after that. (Don't forget to change the pitch
shift mode to Do Not Fix Pitch)!
Recordings Are Not In Sync
There are a couple of possibilities here.
The starting position of my recordings is wrong.
If the start offset of the recording is wrong, you can try the following suggestions:
z Adjust the sound manually
z Update your sound card's drivers if possible. Check the sound card's website.
z Get a new sound device. Get a more professional sound card designed for recording music, if possible.
