hi. at times when i try to record, the song skips causing the recorded track to fall off beat. what's up with this? it dosen't skip when it's just playing but it does on recording. i have a p4 2.8 ghz with like 764 ram. i'm using reason at the same time. i really don't think it's my computer as i've been doing this for quite a while without trouble. any help would be appreciated.

thanks, luma

So it happens sometimes but not all the time? Is there possibly anything going on in the background that would cause this?

What's your soundcard/audio interface?

yes. it happens sometimes. i recorded the other day with no problem. it was a simpler song though. i'm using it with reason. also, i am on the internet while doing all this. i've done this since i first got my computer with no problems. i download at the same time i''m recording and everything. never had this problem before. i have a simple soundblaster 16 bit.

peace, luma

I get the recording latency all the time while working with AP5, but never in earlier versions of ACID. I have a 3.1Ghz, 512mb of ram, and an SB Live card. Hopefully Sony will adress this problem soon, but I doubt it... =(

It sounds like (no pun intended) the soundcard is the weak link in your chain. I have an Echo MiaMIDI and have no problems with recording as of yet. (I've also tried an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 and didn't have problems with that either.) Does Creative have any updated drivers at their Web site?

I have everything updated--and the point is that it worked in earlier versions of Acid with no problem--not the soundcard...something in the AP5 code changed all this for whatever reason...
