Thanks Darren.
I loaded the cwb file in to Sonar and on this end all tracks are in sync.
I don't know what could have caused this problem
About the distortion track.
Would lowering the volume level for all the traks solve the distortion ?
I know that the leed vocal and harmony vocal was recorded at the same level.
Then the levels were turn down to mix.
The leed vocal was just a little below 0.
The vocal harmony is quite of bit lower than the leed.
I can't wait to hear what you will be able to do with
it.
Again thanks.
Mark
