Recordings Are Drifting And/Or Start At The Wrong Time
Welcome to the world of inaccurate timing and sound cards. If you 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 you're 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
Assuming 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:
Adjust the sound manually
Update your sound card's drivers if possible. Check the sound card's website.
Get a new sound device. Get a more professional sound card designed for recording music, if possible.
Try switching to ASIO mode. or WaveRT mode for better synchronization.
My recordings are slowly losing synchronization over time!
If after 10 minutes or so, your recordings are noticeably out of synchronization, you may need to get a new sound
device that won't lose synchronization.
Here are some tips to deal with drifting recordings on some sound cards.
Always 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.
Managing Recording 'Takes'
When you make a recording it goes into your Project's recording folder. By default, a recording is named based on
the track's name.
Recordings are deleted when you save your project or quit the software if the recording was not included in a project
that you saved.
So, if you make a recording and aren't happy with it, simply click Undo on the toolbar or delete it by clicking the Delete
key or selecting Delete from the Edit menu. If you are worried about filling up your hard drive with bad takes, simply
delete the take from within Mixcraft and then Save your project.
