Hi Folks,

I've finally got my home studio up and running, and the recording quality from my instruments sounds great, however I've noticed an annoying problem with Cubase SX. I'll give you the simplest scenario that it appears in:

I've removed the vocals from a track. I then import it into Cubase, create another audio track, and record my own vocals in this track. However, when I play both back together, the recorded track is out of sync with the original by a fraction of a second. (I've found I can normally drag the track back about 0.175 of a second and it's *almost* in sync again)

Anyway, the reason I'm asking is that I went for an audition a while back and the guy mixing my vocals had the same issue, but also had a workaround. As I wasn't using Cubase back then I didn't pay any attention to what he did to fix it, but basically he had to play the audio back once, then did a magical something, then it was in sync the second time round.

So, does anyone know how to get the sound back in sync without the messy job of trying to drag it into precisely the right point?!

Thanks for your help folks!!!

Under recording options on the control panel for your sound blaster, make sure the option that says "what you hear" is checked.

I forget exactly where it is, I think if you click on the slpeaker icon in your system tray, go to properties, select record- I think it's in there somewhere.
