I've been using Vegas for recording vocals do to Acid's inability to let me move tracks wherever the heck I want. However, Vegas forces me to snap to frames even with snapping turned off. So i decided to record with Acid 5 and try it again. I did my vocals and sat down to edit them and their all a random delay off tempo. Is this a know bug? Is there a fix?

Do you mean Tracks or Events? Try turning off Snapping: (F8) to move events anywhere you want on a track. You can already move tracks in any order you want so I don’t understand your statement.

Try turning off Quantize to Frames: (Alt+F8) This is different than snapping which is also F8 in Vegas.

Are the tracks Beatmapped? Try unchecking “Make new track follow project tempo (Beatmapped track)” in the Record dialog. This is on by default but it will make ACID time-stretch your track which you don’t want to do for live recording. You can just edit the track properties and change your track to a One-Shot to turn this off after you record.

Wow. What a rediculous mistake. And I've been using since Acid 2.0. Thanks. That helped, but didn't quite fix the problem, there's still a delay. I don't think its the mic, because, LIVE!, Nuendo, and Vegas record perfectly with no delay. Ugg. But that you though that corrected the problem somewhat.

Are your Audio Device settings the same in ACID as they are in Vegas? If Vegas doesn’t have a delay there is no reason why ACID should. That’s very strange.

When you say "random delay off tempo" do you mean:

- the recording does not start/line up with where you started to record?
- the recording plays back at a different speed than recorded at?
- something else?

No, its not that I didn't select the correct position to start from, they all start appropriately at the beginning of the project, however, they are all delayed the same amount from where they should be. they play at normal speed as far as I can tell because I can manually line them up somewhat, but this is a major annoyance to do on a large scale.

What you are saying is that the recorded material is late on the time-line.

What audio hardware are you using?
What driver model are you using - Wave, Mapper, ASIO?
What is your buffer setting?
What is your sample rate?

Could you fill our your system spec in your profile?
