ok umm...I have cool edit pro 2.1 and for about a year or so it has been working just fine until like 3 or so days ago my recordings are lagging like while Im recording it sounds like Im on beat but when i when play it back its like Im off beat. I moved the track back a little and the first part will be on beat where its suppose to be but as it plays it gos off beat again. Is this like a computer problem or what? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?
Another thing while Im recording I also hear tje beat skip or something its like it slows down so what are the settings i need

Nov 19, 2009 09:23 pm Can you give us the specs of your PC, CPU speed, amount of RAM and such. Also, what are you using for a sound card? An external interface or the internal sound chip?
Nov 20, 2009 07:40 am well Im using just a normal windows xp and everything with it. No new sound card or nothing just a windows xp( well i do have an M-audio usb but i want to get this out the way first) . i mean its been working fine until like a few days ago
Nov 20, 2009 07:54 am Just so we can help you out as much as possible, it'd help us to know the specs. Here they're easy to find :]
Just click:
Start: > All Programs: > Accessories: > System Tools: > System Information.
From there, just copy down the "processor" (thats a long one, i know haha). and... Total physical memory? Eh there's like 4 things on here that look like ram umm.. Copy down Total physical memory, available physical memory, total virtual memory, available virtual memory.
Thanks, and welcome to HRC

Nov 20, 2009 01:05 pm maybe the playback rate got changed? or the sample rate. Those both can affect the timing.
I've not seen CEP, so i'm just throwing out ideas.

Nov 20, 2009 01:34 pm Under multitrack options make sure you have the "auto correct for drift" enabled.

Nov 21, 2009 12:39 am That and make sure that your record timing master is set to audio clock. And the Playback timing master as well.

Nov 28, 2009 01:10 am Knowing the specs of the PC and exactly what you are using for your sound card is the only way we can give you the correct path to find these things. That is a bit of an important piece of info.
