Recorded Tracks not synchronised

[SteveW]

I'm curious about what type of network connection is at play with each session member - P2P, or ARS?

I ask because I have been in a few session where the synchronization between 2 players on PTP was tighter than players on ARS.

There may be a relation$p between the computers' clocks and track synchronization (I'm not referring the interfaces' clocking scheme, since they are modern and the only digital link is between the interface and the host PC). Keeping time on the internet is a really big deal, and NTP is the most common protocol. for Mac users, setting time using NTP is easy because Apple runs their own NTP servers. For Windows and Linux users, you have to specify your NTP server(s).

I'm speculating this might help, I don't know for sure.

We all have peer-to-peer selected. We all live within about 10 miles of each other so I would have thought that was likely to be the best option.

I'lll have a look at some of our other session recordings to see if there is any obvious pattern, although I am sure that we always experience drift between participants' tracks. I always do DAW mixes of at least some of the songs we do in a session and it is always necessary to synchronise the tracks for each song separately--and sometimes during the course of a song. Occasionally there is a song with so many synch problems that I simply cannot get a good mix, even after a lot of chopping and synchronising segments of audio.
