Recordings out of sync with back

I have Sound Blaster Li've! 7. and record on Cool Edit Pro 2.. I import mp3 backings to my recording software and then record vocal tracks. On playback, I noticed that the two tracks quickly get out of sync. After much trial and error, I've found only two solutions to correct the problem...neither of which is satisfying to me.
Solution #: Run a sync correction through my recording software for every vocal track I lay down...very time consuming.
Solution #2: Convert my mp3 backings to a wav file. After importing the converted file to Cool Edit Pro, convert sample rate from 44. to 48 and the bit resolution from 6 to 32. This takes several minutes and I can't seem to save it and reuse it at a later time since Cool Edit Pro recognizes it as a different sample rate and won't allow me to load it into the multitrack recording view for use.
Upgrading to Audigy doesn't seem to be an option since I've seen other threads showing the same problem exists with that series, as well.
Would 5. be a better option? Never had this problem with the original soundcard that came with my computer. I don't want to run correction OR convert and resample my backings to record. Should I look for a different sound card?
Thanks

I looked into the specs on Audigy and need to know if Audigy 4 (not Audigy 4 Pro) will work with recording in Cool Edit Pro? CEP uses 44. sample rate.
Your card, Li've! 24-bit, does have known issue w/ keeping in sync. Audigy cards like A4 (non pro), A2Value and A2Zs don't have this issue (least I have never heard of it).
But the quality on those mentioned SB cards not as good as w/ X-Fi as for an example.
If you're after low budged card for recording under Creative brand --> E-MU 0404 is the only choice under 00US$. w/ 0404 you could get LE versions of Sonar 4 and Cubase, Li've Lite and lots of other software you would like to use in your recordings. 0404 can also be installed as 2nd card w/ the one you have there already --> Li've! for gaming and multichannel audio, 0404 for recording. Installing could become painful, but I've read they should work together.
E-MU 0404 beats all SB cards when compared by quality. 0404 does have only 2 analog mono line inputs (+ 2 digital) so for microphone you would need an extarnal mic-amp or mixer w/ mic-amp. 0404 has also only two mono analog outputs (+ 2 digital).

  • Change of Video Frame One Sample Out of Sync with Correct Point on Timeline

    Change of Video Frame One Sample Out of Sync with Correct Point on Timeline.
    It has been found on the author's PC that, in Audition 3 in Multitrack View, a video file displayed in the video window will change its frame one sample later than it should do with respect to the correct point on the timeline. This has led to extra work having to be done by the author, as detailed later.
    To demonstrate this issue:
    Create a new multitrack session. Enable the Time and Video windows. Enable only 'Snap to Frames'.
    Using an external program, render a two-frame video clip at 25fps. Let the first frame contain the letter 'A', and the second frame contain the letter 'B'. Making sure that the Display Time Format is set appropriately, in this case at 'SMPTE 25 fps (EBU)', lock this clip on the multitrack timeline, ensuring that the clip starts at time 00:00:00:00.
    Create a mono audio clip of silence at 48kHz 32-bit that is two frames long. Lock it on an audio track, ensuring that the clip starts at time 00:00:00:00.
    Place the cursor at time 00:00:00:01 and create a cue marker at this point by pressing F8.
    Zoom into the timeline so that approximately twenty samples are visible, with the cursor lying on the cue marker in the middle of the screen. The Time window should display 00:00:00:01. The Video window should display the letter 'A'.
    Move the cursor back in time (leftwards) by one sample. The Time window should change its display to 00:00:00:00, whilst the Video window should still show the letter 'A'.
    Move the cursor forwards in time (rightwards) by one sample, so that it overlays the cue marker again. The Time window should change its display back to 00:00:00:01, whilst the Video window remains showing the letter 'A'.
    Move the cursor forwards in time (rightwards) by one more sample. The Time window's display should remain at 00:00:00:01, but the Video window should now display the letter 'B'.
    As can be seen from the above steps, the video's change of frame content occurs incorrectly one sample later than it should; the change of video frame content should occur simultaneously with the change of the frame number displayed in the Time window, which is at the point that the cue marker has been placed.
    The practical effect of this issue is that it has caused the author a huge amount of extra work on an 89-minute long soundtrack-for-video timeline. There were over 1100 changes of shot which the author wished to mark by placing cue markers at the beginning of every shot. This should have been a quite simple process of enabling 'Snap to Frames', stepping through the video, and laying cue markers down by pressing F8 when the shot was seen to change.
    Because currently the Video window (referencing the cursor laying over a cue marker
    i that has been placed on the timeline using the 'Snap to Frames' option
    ) will actually display the end moments of the previous frame rather than the beginning moments of the current frame, laying down a cue marker when the shot is seen to change will actually place that marker at the beginning moments of the second frame of the new shot, not at the beginning moments of the first frame of the new shot, i.e. the cue marker placed will be one frame later in time than it should be. If it is wished for the cue marker to, as best it can, represent the beginning moments of the first frame of the new shot, it has to be manually repositioned so that it is at least a sample later in time than the time at which the shot has actually changed, in order for the Video window to correctly display the content.
    The author had to manually reposition all 1100+ cue markers.
    Ideally, the Video window should display a change of video frame in synchronization with the change of the frame display in the Time window, which occurs at the position of the 'Snap to Frames' point.

  • IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

    I need some help.
    iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
    Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
    I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.
    Thanks.

    I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

  • Video - dialog goes out of sync with video

    When I play Movies or T.V. shows on my iTouch the dialog (or audio) gets out of sync with the video. It starts happening after about 5 minutes of play. I close out of the video, re-open it and it's back in sync again for about another 5 minutes.
    I had a second generation iTouch and have just purchased a 3rd gen iTouch and it does it on both. It happens on every movie or t.v. show I watch.
    Any suggestions?

    I really appreciate your help. I tried it with the link you provided and it appears it's the wrong format type. The one I'm trying to convert is a .wmv file. I think that link was mainly for mpegs.
    I did successfully convert a 3rd movie .wmv file using videora, so I have to think the problem lies with this one movie clip. What could it be? It plays fine on my computer! The video itself is fine after the conversion too, it's just moving too fast as if in fast forward mode. Then when the video ends (before the music, cuz it's not in sync), the video keeps backing up and continuing from later and later previous spots until the song ends.
    If you're out of ideas, I guess I'll try to see if I can find the video somewhere else and download it again (I got this video free from a website). It's super cool.. An F-18 pilot video tapes himself performing aerial maneuvers to the song "magic carpet ride". Darn, I REALLY want that on my ipod!!

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • IPhone out-of-sync with Exchange after performing inbox search?

    Hey everyone,
    I work as an IT technician for an Enterprise where the majority of end-users utilize iPhones (4 and 4s) and iPads (all versions) with varying versions of iOS. Many of these people have ActiveSync set up with our Exchange Server (2008RS, Exchange 2010). We have received a pretty consistent amount of user complaints for a while where end-users' iPhones will [seemingly randomly] become out of sync; i.e. they delete an email on their iPhone and their Outlook doesn't reflect this for hours or visa-versa.
    We have traced this down to indexed searching with the iPhone. In a nutshell, if an end-user tries to search their inbox for an email using the search feature, this is when everything becomes out-of-sync with Exchange. The workaround is restarting the phone (for some reason restarting the Mail app doesn't help).
    I am curious if anyone has more information around this or perhaps a fix so we're not having to tell people (namely Executives and VIPs with larger inboxes...thus searching is used more) to restart their iPhones all the time.
    I thank each of you in advance for any advice you may have. Thanks!
    -Ryan

    Hi mehrardt,
    It does sound like the exchange email account has to be removed from the iPhone and then added again.
    If he has another personal email account on the iPhone, you can have him delete the exchange account and then tap a configuration profile that you emailed him.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility available here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/ will let you create a configuration profile with certificates, which you can email. The receiver would just tap the profile and it would configure the iPhone.

  • Issues with finder going out of sync with file images in cover flow.

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues with files going out of sync with images in cover flow since updating to Mavericks. Typically, if I had for example 10 pictures listed as 1 to 10, if i deleted images 6&7 the images remain in coverflow but the file listings are removed, then if i click on image 7 the file listing of image 8 is highlighted, then to make matters worse, if i click on the file listing for image 9 in shows image 8 in cover flow. To stop this I have to shut down finder and restart it, then the whole thing repeats itself if i delete more images. Its a nightmare when your working with 50 plus images at a time!!! Help!!
    Thanks all.

    com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer ones.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
    If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Video plays out of sync with Flash version 11.6.602.180 in Firefox

    I've been receiving multiple reports that some videos plays out of sync with Vimeo's Flash player in Firefox, but not in other browsers (with the same version of Flash installed). Disabling/enabling hardware accelerated decoding does not seem to make a difference. Any ideas as to what might be causing this issue?

    This could be multiple issues, but the first thing that comes to mind is the protected mode feature in Flash Player for Firefox.  We've made significant improvements in our 11.7 beta and I'd recommend giving this a try:
    3/19/2013 - Flash Player 11.7.700.146 Beta
    If that doesn't help, or you can't update to the beta version, try the steps outlined in this post:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.

  • Audio out of sync with presentation (not using full motion)

    When I preview or publish a project using Captivate 5, the audio is out of sync with the presentation. I am not using any full motion recording, which I know has caused audio/video sync issues in previous versions of Captivate. The audio is slide specific, with a separate audio file for each slide. (In other words, I'm not trying to break a large audio file over many slides.) When each slide is viewed individually -- in the workstation, in the preview window, or in the published version -- the audio is synced just fine. The problem arises only when I try to watch the entire presentation (approx. 10 minutes in length). The audio gradually lags behind the visual.  By about half way through the project, the visual presentation is noticably ahead of the audio. By the end, the audio is nearly 4 seconds behind the video. I cannot detect a noticeable change in pitch or speed of the audio, so if the audio is being altered in any way, the alteration is slight.
    However, if I use the playback controls to advance to a single slide, the audio is fine for that slide and those immediately after, although it does gradually get off again as the project progresses. (So, for example, if I start the playback in the middle of the project, the audio will only be off by about 2 seconds by the end, rather than 4.)
    I have tried various publishing options (although I don't think publishing is the problem, since this happens when I preview the project as well). I have used 2 different computers and also tried viewing the published version locally and streaming. None of these alterations seem to make a difference. By the end of the presentation, regardless of how the project is published or viewed, the audio is several seconds behind the video.
    My specs:
    Captivate 5
    Microsoft XP OS
    2 GB RAM
    Publishing to .swf
    Suggestions?

    Hi Mukul,
    Thank you very much for your careful responses. Here are the answers to the questions.
    First of all, the "slow video" behavior does appear only after adding the slides mentioned in previous post.
    1.    I created a “software simulation” project. It IS a capture+audio recording.
    2.    Since I recorded the audio while doing screen capture, almost every slide has audio, which is not convenient to edit at all. Is there any other better way that I missed so that we can keep the audio and video at the same step while editing them? As I know so far, either insert silence or delete a little audio to one slide, the audio becomes short, but the slide duration time is still the same as before unless we change that manually which normally is not precise enough to match the audio.
    3.    I tried to add the blank slides at where there is a pause of speaking and where they are close to the problem slides. Otherwise, the speaking would sound weird.
    4.    Published SWF file size is 20.6 MB.
    5.    I do have two externalized video files for title and end.
    6.    Unfortunately, it is still slow even if it played on a different system.
    And another problem comes up these days. After publication, the screen resolution is not good (like some grey ink left on screen) wherever click or type something. It did not happen before even if worked on the same computer.
    I am very sorry that there are so many problems. I have been working on this for long time. The project totally drove me nuts. Hopefully you have more ideas about that.
    I really appreciate your help.
    Sincerely,
    Linda

  • Audio Out of Sync with Itunes downloaded Movie

    I have searched on here for an answer, but have found none, so I go to the great Mac experts. I have downloaded two shows from Itunes in the last 4 days and during playback on my G4 the audio is out of sync with the picture. This has never happened before. I just updated Itunes with the latest update about a week ago. Is anyone having this problem, and better yet, any experts out there care to weigh in on a solution? It's very annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I downloaded a 90 minute TV show and it becomes out of sync @ 51 minutes in. I have no idea why and this has never happened before. Can't seem to find any explanations online so any solutions you find would be greatly appreciated...
