Thread - Post Reply isn't working in this message board).

I'm the one who mentioned the pre-roll buffer checkbox hack.

When I record a new track it is offset from the other
tracks in the project and does not stay in sync with them,
even if it is later manually moved to align with the start
of other tracks. This happens for any recorded track type
(one-shot, loop, or disk-based).

I've found that if I do the following, the sync problem is
avoided:
- before each attempt to record, go to
"Preferences->Audio->Advanced"
- check, then uncheck, the checkbox for
"do not pre-roll buffers before starting playback".

I'd guess that the checking/unchecking on that checkbox is
reseting something between Acid and the audio driver.

My system is pretty common:
Intel Pentium II at 333 MHz
win95 (service release 2)
Creative Labs SB AWE64
two EIDE hard drives

All other Acid Pro settings are at their defaults.
I'm starting Acid after a system reboot, and no other
application programs are running.
