Gargeband sudden latency or slight delay with microphone

I am working on a project and am experiencing a delay with new tracks. I opened an old session added anew track for vocals and when I sing I have a slight delay before it is recorded. I have had this happen before but I don't remember how I fixed it.come to think of it I think it fixed itself. After doing many searches I think it may have to do with the master track. I did a quick mix with the master track to listen in the car but now I have that delay so I can't continue my work. This is very frustrating please help! I am using a FireWire duet and Maverick s

I saw a thread here and someone had a similar problem and they thought it was the master track.

Adding delay to anything recorded after master track was opened.


if that is the issue then just turn off all the effects in the Master track:

are you using the pitch correction feature on the VOX tracks? this can cause some serious latency issues.


adding other effects/processing can also cause a little latency, it's always best to record dry, with little to no extra processing, and then add any effects/processing afterward

I even see a delay on my duet meters.


at this point it seems like it may be an issue with that project file.


this is going to sound like a PITA (because it is, you have to jump between projects, opening each one, back and forth), but you might try copying all the regions in each track, one track at a time, and pasting them into a new project. (we had to do this once years ago when a project the band recorded using GB version 1 had some type of issue. it was a pain, but whatever the issue was, we solved it by transferring the regions to a new project)


you could try copying over just 3-4 tracks worth of regions just to see if it helps


you could also wait to see if anyone else has some ideas to try
