Jul 6, 2008 - Quick question: Does your latency change over time? I followed along with this video, and it all worked, but will I never have to change the latency again after I've punched in the correct numbers?

Jul 6, 2008 - thx so much

nofagenda Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - it should probably change every time you record something. you cant have perfect timing every time. the latency could even change in the same track.

nofagenda Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - this is very helpful. i use audacity for all of my recording and i used to spend most of the editing time trying to line different parts up, and that usually resulted in many tracks for maybe just one verse of vocals.

Jul 6, 2008 - when i record with audacity the sound sounds horrible

guitargodsam Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - is this porblem in all versions of audacity?

sndmann5 Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Thanks, this worked for me. Getting rid of the latency actually makes this a viable multitrack program. You should note that you're using the beta version here. The beta is really an improvement, though it did crash on me once so far. Thanks again, for saving me a lot of time.

sndmann5 Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - BTW there are more accurate and quicker ways to check the latency. I used a drum machine.

QsHoney2be Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - WOW! You have no idea how much time you saved me! Thanks so much for posting!

Delzeriko Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Thank you so much! Now I don't have to use the time shift tool. It's been getting on my nerves.

Jul 6, 2008 - Awesome lesson! This is fabulous information because without this knowledge, one is not able to record more than one track and mix them together later. Like record a guitar track and then add a vocal track, then mix them.Thanks again for the great lesson.

MEBFlorida Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Slightly different topic: I sent email to the Audacity developers to request a feature. What do you think of this feature? I would like to be able to swap the right and left channels on a stereo track, or otherwise manipulate the channels (edit, move them in time, etc.) Do you think this would be a good feature? Or is this something that one should never be trying to do? Thanks again for the awesome lesson!

olentangyjohn Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - you rock.. thanx!

fredpikemequon Says:

Jul 6, 2008 - Great info - thanks! It took me a while to realize you were using the beta version, but I've downloaded that now and will try setting the latency!
