Hi, my name is Erol :D

I have got Logic Audio 5.5.0 and I think its a greta program but I am having trouble getting the timin right with the audio. When I press the tempo to here the track, theres a midi timer and an audio timer (I think) I hit play and at the beginning the are both inline ok, as it getto about 4-5 seconds in, they start to part.
For this reason, when I record from my synth into audio, it seems that it has a curve on the tempo, but I checked this and this is not true. Could it be my sound card or any othet thing? My specs are:

Windows XP Pro
P4 1.7GHz
512 RAM

Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX
GeForce FX 256mb (cant remember exact)

I think thats all ya need to know.

Please help me because it is doing my head in lol

Cheers :D

hey dude,

yeh I had that problem too, I'm not too sure why it happens, i'm guessing it's something to do with the latency of your soundcard, but I fixed it by selecting the MIDI Click output device to the same output device as your audio, ie, ur computers speakers and making sure they're the same anyway.

You can do this by selecting the MIDI click track on the main arrangement, and along the left you should see it. When you click on it a little pop-up menu will appear, I guess you can just use trial and error to see if one of them works!

Hope I helped mate!

Good luck

i am not good in explaining, but will try, yeah just go to the arrangement window click on the midi click track on your right side of the window a pop-up appears with choices, go from there do as franco said just try and error, select from the pop-up, scroll and one click will do.
also i don't have a soundblaster but i have some friends who are playing around on PC's and they have soundblasters, what an overpriced peace of utterly crap... the drivers are shite, it's very hard to get a stable low latency going, or actually impossible, so it might be the soundblaster settings (driver) which causing trouble, but that is just something i keep on hearing from all people that have soundblaster cards... NOT my personal experience!! maybee here is an actual soundblaster user on the forum, who can give further advice...

here we go, soundblaster ain't good for serious audio work.
and they are damn expensive, you get nice cheap cards with zero latency monitoring, spdif, 1x midi I/O and resonable AD/DAs or even very good ones for the money, the M-audio audiophile 2496 is a stunning card for a bargain price... hard to beat it goes for something like 60 pounds UK price.
