Compensating for ASIO recording latency? #162555 06/14/12 12:11 AM RealBand

I'm using a Behringer "Guitar Link" USB interface and the corresponding Behringer ASIO driver. The latency is just long enough to be noticable and annyoing in the finished recording, with the guitar track being slightly delayed from all the other tracks. Is there some setting in RB to compensate for this? I did see such a setting for MIDI but nothing for ASIO. Thanks, Ray

There's a couple of ways you can do this. 1) In the TRACKS WINDOW highlight the audio and drag it to the new location using the mouse. 2) My preferred way is to open the AUDIO EDIT WINDOW and you can see how far the track is delayed. Highlight the blank bit at the start of the track and use CUT with CLOSE GAP to remove it. If it's not exactly right, use UNDO and repeat until it sounds in time. ROG. Free online guitar lessons.

I know you know better.Go into the settings for the interface and lower the buffer settings until there's no more latency then rerecord your track.

What John suggested is the preferred fix for the following reason: If you do it John's way, your tracks will be in alignment from then on. If you do it the other way, you'll have to keep manually aligning tracks forever. But both ways work. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0
