When I record an audio file and try to put into musical time the audio
always becomes out of sync.

The steps I follow are:

1. Record audio block
2. Edit block and add warp tabs to the first beat and sometimes more to fix
up timing issues
3. Enable musical time on the track
4. Enable musical time in the Pool. (when clicking on it is when it gets
screwed up)

It seems to have something to do with the audio files that have an gap
before the first beat.

Many times I would like to cut out dead sections of the audio to save space
and this really screws things up. Trying to shift the audio back into place
is a pain in the ass.

What the heck is going on? Am I missing a step or is cubase just being
idiotic?

(Also, When I record audio, say a bass line I get this weird effect that is
almost like a stutter(not a latency problem... sounds almost like a musical
beat). I believe is the time-stretching algorithm but it shouldn't be
active.

This is kind of "normal", no matter if audio is recorded with linear or
musical time mode.
(If you haven´t already: activate "Show Event Info Line" in the toolbar!)
Record a "block" of audio and select it, then look at the "Info Line" and
you´ll notice a value for "Offset". This is, what causes the gap IME.
A work-around is to export/bounce that clip to a new file, that starts at
the "correct" time. This new file does not have that gap in the beginning.

It´s also important for exporting individual track files for external
mixdown or archiving, to make sure, all audio files are really "in time".

Anyway, you might try setting an audio track to musical time, BEFORE you
record and see, if it makes a difference. Probably not, but it doesn´t take
much time to try.


Hope, that helps a bit,
