The community seems to be a lot of "google it" types which, I understand! But I'm also at my ropes end as I just don't know what the right things to google are! So, when we record, we use the settings shown in those images and we also turn on input monitoring. The workstation is an i3 core processor (latest gen), standard box computer really. It has 16GB of RAM (DDR4) and a standard sound card. I can post followup pictures or lists with the specs if requested, I also don't want to give too much data as I know that can be a pain to read through if you don't need it! Anyway, when we record, we have three big issues right now. 1.) When we turn on input monitoring, there is a pretty bad (almost 1 second) delay from singing into the mic to hearing it. We're trying to do an a Capella so that's a bit of an issue haha! 2.) The audio on the track (we record at 32000hz if I'm using the right term, somewhere I read that's about CD quality) and have our buffers set at 256, the timing will start out on time but slowly get off course as the recording continues, we can't figure that one out for the life of us. Notes seem to almost stench out at points where we know they didn't when we were singing. 3.) There's this almost...skipping sound I guess? You can only hear it when recording or during playback but when I imported the track into adobe audition it was gone. Oh and there is another issue I've been trying to figure out. When I turn on the red stero button on my board, the monitors will loop this god awful noise, can't figure out where we messed up with that one. Any idea what we're doing wrong? Please let me know if I'm not giving the correct information and I'll be happy to work with anyone here as long as you don't mind with working with a noob like me haha!
