It works perfectly for me, I guess it depends on your system. In fact, I must go to negative 300 for my music keyboard.

Isn't -200 a bit too much?

    in time

    FYI, I had to increase my latency correction to negative 200.

    Hi, I'm having issues with recording vocals. When I record the
    first track, the vocals are fine, but every subsequent track
    after that, the tracks are out of step, even when I adjust the
    latency. I have my latency audio bset to 50 and the latency
    correction set to -130. The way I test the tracks is put my
    headphones up to the mic so it picks up the backing track from
    the headphones. I record about three tracks, and they're all out
    of step with each other. I want the tracks to be perfectly in
    time with each other. Using Audacity 2.0.5 with Win 7 Ultimate 64
    Bit. Soundcard is IDT High Definition soundcard, could that be
    part of the problem? Every subsequent track after the first one
    has been recorded goes out of sync. So for example, say I'm
    recording a vocal or instrument onto a track. I have the main
    backing track as the primary track, and when I hit the record
    button, I record instruments or vocals onto a new track. That
    first newly recorded track would be out of sync with the backing
    track. All subsequent tracks will be out of step with each other
    the more I record, until it turns into a huge mess. I've attached
    some sound files to give an example of tracks out of step and
    what they should sound like while they are synced together. This
    demonstration wasn't necessarily mixed with audacity, but is to
    show an example of the latency issues I face when doing overdubs
    and/or recording instruments. Audio Track 1 is the wav file with
    tracks out of step, and audio track 2 is an mp3 of what the
    tracks should sound like if they were perfectly aligned with each
    other. Hopefully that helps?
