David, Have you considered also subscribing to the MIDI-Mag list? There are a lot of music production and performance blind users who discuss all sorts of products like Sonar, Pro Tracks, and I've seen Audacity mentioned. But you have some perspective that might be very welcome.

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.
