Hey, first post here... I'm still a n00b at audio recording, so bare with me please... I've got an Audio Kontrol 1, using it with Cakewalk Sonar X1, and just starting to get it going. I've been watching some tutorial video to get me started, and after I learned some basics, I figured I'd give recording a quick shot. Well, I got a weird problem. After I put in a drum track, set the BPM and the metronome, record some audio and play it back, it actually appears BEFORE where it should be. The whole recording is like half a second ahead of where it should be. I've heard of latency, but it seems like I'm getting some kind of reverse latency.

Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Btw, I have a 2.4Ghz quad-core, 4gb ram, 2tb hd, windows 7 64-bit. Let me know if you need any more info.

Under "Sync and Caching" preferences, below "Synchronization", "Full Chase Lock" is selected and the "Timing Offset" is on 0.000 msec. There is also a "Record Latency Adjustment" with a manual offset on 0.

There is also something else called "Remove DC Offset."

I also found a "Synchronization Overview" in the help file, so I probably need to go through that. I think the problem I'm having is with synchronization. Anyone have any tips about that or fixes to common problems?

Hello World, post: 382467 wrote: Sync is a common problem with many causes. If you don't use headphones as a monitor, you can easily fix sync problems using this program... [[url=http://[/URL]="http://synchronicit…"]Synchronicity - Home[/]="http://synchronicit…"]Synchronicity - Home[/]

Or you could just address the root problem so your tracks are always properly synced.
