Hi Gale!
I have performed the latency test as described in the manual using a
microphone and speakers. Since I didn't have the visual output to go by, I
listened carefully to the two tracks and entered smaller values the closer
the clicks became. It took a while but eventually I reached a satisfactory
result.
Cheers! Robbie

Hi,
I get the impression that Matthew's issue is that he needs blind steps
written out for him so as to perform the Latency Test:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/latency_test.html .
I had a thought for example that he may be able to use Analyze > Sample Data
Export to export a Time Indexed list file, then open that file to read the
distance between the peaks of the recorded clicks.
Has anyone done the latency test non-visually and can they help Matthew out?
Or is the best scheme to just do it by experimenting with the Latency
Correction value until it sounds correct?
