Vince Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Vexing problem with timing of vocals. When I record a vocal to music, it sounds in time and fine. When I playback, the vocal line starts a few milliseconds before it is supposed to and is out of sync. I have tried decreasing the buffer, and recording with low latency mode. I have also tried turning software monitoring off. None of these things seem to work. I am not sure it is latency either, since the vocal always comes in early and not late. I am using a Zoom H4N as an interface to record. It is set up in the i/o settings and recognized. Again, things sound ok durning the recording, its during playback that it is out of sync. Also, the wave file is actually out of sync with the music too. I should also say, the problem is not only recording vocals. I get the timing issue when recording a guitar to a drum loop too. I have read people have had good success using the H4N as the interface and the sound is very good while recording. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Check your Recording Delay preference in Audio > Devices Core Audio. Normally, it should be set to zero, but you may need to adjust it depending on the device your using. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Rae Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 THANK YOU Jordito!! After searching and searching I found your answer and the annoying timing problem is gone. It was set at -5000. The odd thing is, even though I have had this timing problem (infrequently) in the past, I never recall ever changing it... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
