SOUND PLAYS BACK TO SLOW OR FAST
If loaded sounds play back too fast or too slow, it's most likely because the sound
is being tempo adjusted by Mixcraft. You can check this by clicking on the sound,
clicking the Sound tab, and clicking Time Stretch to hear the sound at its native tempo.
(Audio can sound odd if it's being time stretched too drastically.)
RECORDING
RECORDING IS NOT WORKING!
You can play audio, but you can't record anything! There can be many reasons why this
is not working. Here are a few:
Make sure audio hardware/microphone/guitar is properly plugged in!
Make sure the correct input/source is armed.
Make sure the recording level of the armed track is turned up.
Try recording using a different driver. Try ASIO, WaveRT, and Wave, in that order.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card. Visit your sound card
manufacturer's website to check for updates.
RECORDINGS DRIFTING AND/OR START AT THE WRONG TIME
If you notice that recordings are not lining up properly at the start, you'll need to adjust
the offset or start time of the recorded sound. Make sure snap is off and move the
sound so that it lines up properly. Zoom in for the best accuracy. Switching to an ASIO
driver or purchasing a better sound device may help.
If recordings are slowly drifting over time, the problem is due to an inaccurate clock
on your sound card or sound device. Each device is made with more or less accurate
clocks and not all devices have the same time as an atomic clock, for example.
