Hi,

The automatic latency correction, which trys to get tracks in sinc, has 
recently been improved, so if you're using a version before 1.3.6, it's worth 
you updating to the current version 1.3.6. In fact version 1.3.7 will probably 
be released within the next couple of weeks, so you might want to wait. Note 
also that version 1.3.5 had some bugs in the keyboard navigation, so it's 
definitly worth upgrading from that.

If the automatic latency correction is still not good enough, you can can time 
shift tracks. In the Jaws guide for audacity which has been mentioned in other 
posts, in the More advanced editing section, there's a sub-section on time 
shifting tracks.

If you've needed to manually time shift tracks, then once you know the time 
shift needed, you can set this in the preferences so that it then happens 
automatically. If you select the Audio I/O category in the Preferences dialog 
(ctrl+p), then there's a Latency correction edit box, and the units are 
milliseconds.

David.


orginal message:

Hello All,
I'm a new subscriber of this list. I'm using windows xp and jaws versions 9 and 
10. I have a question for all the people who use audacity which is supposed to 
be an accessible recording software. I'm trying to record multiple tracks, and 
when I add a track, or just press R, it seems to be recording them in sink. 
However, when I press space to play them back, or r to record another track, 
they have about a second delay between each track which consequently places 
them out of sink. Is there a way I can fix the settings in audacity to 
automatically keep the tracks I record in sink because I can't figure it out.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you know of any other accessible multi-track recorders which I can 
use, please let me know. I'm using goldwave to edit and record sounds, but it 
is not a multi-track recorder.
Thanks again.
Tanja M.
