My tracks won’t stop speeding up on sony vegas!
For some reason everytime I record an audio track on vegas the track is sped up by on beat. I knew how to quick fix it by stretching the track out to make it the correct time but that doesn’t help me when I want to record more than one track for a song it just makes it extremely complicated. It is so bizzare. I even held my mic up to my headphones to record the metronome and when I played it back it was sped up one beat from the “real metronome.” I know that there has to be some option I need to change and I hope someone out there can help me because I am going crazy with this.

To the left of the transport controls (under the track headers) is a slider and a yellow triangle. If, when you play the timeline, the Rate next to the slider does not read 1.00, reset your ‘normal playback’ with the triangle.

The rate is was at 1.00 and the problem is still there

Just to clarify ??
Do you mean “speeds up” or do you mean “ahead” or “late”.I mean is it consistantly off for a minute or is it drifting time ..over time.(starting on beat then loses sync)
Are you using Vegas5 by any chance?
I had past issues with this and just want to see if you have similar problems.
I spent hours narrowing it down. I recorded The metronome and put it on a track as audio file. Then I recorded myself clicking wood blocks together in sync with metronome. So I could visually see the timing/recording sync
I have had problems that the metronome was inconsistant with itself. (fluctuating patterns and audio levels.)
As well as issues that the recorded audio (wood block) was earlier than the “pre-recorded” metronome track.
I was using a edirol UA1A usb souncard (a basic 2ch I-O unit)Using the “directsound surround” audio driver as opposed to the “classic” helped the timing issue.
USB soundcards using classic wave driver tend to be finicky. A Windows thing

I first want to say thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. So I tried switching to direct sound surround but that didn’t help either. Yes I am using vegas5. It starts on the beat and then gets out of sync gradually (like the wood block thing) Any other suggestions by chance?

HOW are you recording this audio that goes “out of sync”? Direct to the Vegas timeline? From some other app?
Have you confirmed the bitdepth/rate of the audio card to the bitdepth/rate you are recording in Vegas? Maybe it’s simply being interpreted as a speed different from what was actually recorded.
Just grasping at straws because I’ve not seen what you are describing.

I must agree with Edward’s response.
I have seen “offset” when recording but never a drift in time.
Visually or audibly.
I’m Curious how you are recording, the process and the equipment.
Usb unit or straight to a 1/8″ soundcard on the tower.
A lttle more info would help.

I guess I am kind of new with computers as well as insufficient with computer lingo but I will tell you what I know.
I am using a mic that is pliugged into a 4-track recorder(that of which I am using as a mixer) that is pluged into the mic input on the front of my computer to record tracks onto vegas. It speeds up just by oone beat because for example I will record a track with the ruler set to 120bpm, play it back and it is faster than the metronome, then If I cange the metronome to 121bpm it is in time. -
I fixed it . It was the bit/depth thing. It was on 16 should have been 24. Thank you guysa so much.
