Recorded Tracks not synchronised

[SteveW]

Yes, JamKazam intends to mix the original tracks together.

And it is correct that the function worked in the past.

Until 6 months ago, or so.

But it is also correct that the function is working again now.

In the last 6 hours 9 recordings have been finished by the server mixing.

Just to get back to my original question: I am not interested in any of the mixes JamKazam makes, I will mix myself, but I would like to know how JK knows how the files sync, because looking at the files I cannot find a way  to do this other than by trial and error.

Alternatively, perhaps someone can think of a method to leave a sync mark in the files? Normally, when sound from one track bleeds into the other tracks, one could just click or clap to make an audible (and visible in the waveforms) sync mark. But because when recording in JK the tracks are completely separate in their audio content, I cannot think of an easy way to get a click or clap into all tracks simultaneously.

Or is this delay between the tracks a fixed value? (Again, I am not talking about the latency when playing together, which in our case is around 20ms. But the delay between the tracks is around 250ms, caused by the recording not starting (and stopping) at the same time. The recordings are also not the same length, the difference, however, is much larger than the delay, probably around double, but I don't think it is consistent.

Any tipps appreciated.

Maybe something as simple as starting each recording by getting a band member to count 1, 2, 3, then everyone plays a single note on their instrument, or claps their hands if they are using a vocal mic. It should be fairly easy to line up these single instrument hits and hand claps in a DAW so that at least the start of the tracks were all lined up (just like using a clapper board).

If there is significant drift in the tracks, this could be repeated before each song.
