I've been using both of these programs for ages, but I need help sorting out a couple of things:

Adobe Audition: This has been going on for a while now (can't remember since when, but just a while)... Say I record a track to the first channel. That's all fine and dandy, but when I go to record onto another channel, the playback WHILE I'm recording is in sync, but when I play both tracks together after I've recorded the second one, they're out of sync with each other by a bit. (This is NOT my problem - I can keep time perfectly fine and play along to drum tracks/metronomes 99% of the time). Another thing that's been happening for a while but I've never been bothered enough to care about it until now (because I haven't had anything to record in ages), is that every 2-3 minutes, both the track that is being recorded and the one playing back skip. Does anybody know how to fix these problems?

Fruity Loops (FL Studio 7): Last time I used this program was in May for the beginnings of a song. I opened the program up yesterday to do some work on it, and none of the drum samples are there... Well, they were shown, but no sound was generated (they're highlighted red). I still have all my synths and things like that, but no drum sounds. I closed my saved session to see if the problem was with that, but even when I opened a new empty session, they still wouldn't come up.

Help?

I don't use Adobe myself but from what you are describing I'm guessing that it might be a latency problem that's occurring. You might be able to fix it by increasing the buffer size. I'm not sure how to go about that in Adobe but there should be a section about Latency in the help file or if not the link below might provide some clues.

Sounds like the solution to me. Also, if your soundcard supports it, use ASIO instead of WME/Legacy/ or whatever the default sound driver is for a humongous improvement in performance.

Thanks! Yeah, the ASIO thing fixed things up, no problem. I just had to install a driver for it.

Now, any ideas for the Fruity Loops problem?

I haven't actually used FL, but it sounds like the paths to the drum sounds has changed (or the folder might have been deleted). Did you create that session on a different computer ? If so, try to recreate the folder structure of the FL files so you can access all the sounds that were referenced in the saved file.

Perhaps there's a function to manually point to each sample for each drum track ? It might show the filename and it's former location it's looking for

I'm a fruity user myself, the red sample issue is as said. You might have deleted the samples or moved them to a different location and fruity can't find them.

The way to remedy this, is always save a zipped loop package when you save your tunes. This makes a .rar with all the song data & samples in. Nice
