Any Cubase LE Users here?

I recently got Cubase LE. I recorded with Cubase about 8 years ago and the LE version feel a bit like home for me.

I started a project with a drum track and a bass line (2 separate tracks). My question is how do you line the tracks up to be in synch? My 2 tracks are off by a second or less and I just can't seem to line them up exactly.

Thanks in advance.

Ditched it awhile ago. Midi tracks or audio tracks your having trouble with? What do you have for an audio interface and does it have it's own mixing software (other than Cubase LE) included?

Corncerning midi tracks. I know there is a problem with LE and midi sync with newer audio/midi interfaces. A longer midi track will play back studdered and off tempo. This was fixed in Cubase 3. The LE version is built on an older Cubase (think version 2?) engine and is something Steinberg says you have to live with. If you don't like it upgrade.

Concerning audio tracks, I'm pretty sure Cubase LE doesn't have latency compensation built in, so they recomend you set up your audio interface's software mixer for 0 latency recording, providing you have this option. This is a guess but 99% positive about this as my instructions for my Presonus Firebox tells me to setup the included Presonus software mixer for 0 latency recording. Sonar on the other hand tells you to disable this as Sonar automatically corrects alignment.

Hope I didn't scare you away.

EDIT) I didn't answer your question did I?
