In article writes:

I'm doing some multi-track recording using a tascam us-122 over USB
with Adobe Audition 1.5.

I find that if I use the computer's internal soundcard to monitor the
mix, the signal being recorded matches well with the existing mix.
However, using the us-122's direct monitoring to monitor the mix
results in a noticeable timing mismatch between the recorded signal
and the existing mix.

Is there a way to compensate for this latency?

The idea of the direct monitor is to allow the player to hear himself
without latency. If there's a lag in the recording when you play it
back, this is something you need to tweak in your computer, but
there's only so much you can do. How much latency are you
experiencing?

The usual way of handling this is to slide the newly recorded track so
that it lines up with the previous tracks, but this shouldn't be more
than a couple of milliseconds off if everything in working right.
