(Where "SQ" stands for Stoopid Question! ;) )
When recording while listening to a backing track there's probably going to be SOME latency on the recorded track. What is the best way to determine how much there is and to fix it?
Here's my guess. Have a backing track with nice, well timed and separated percussive sounds (so you can easily see the peaks), then simply record single notes attempting to match the timing. In your DAW you should then be able to compare the two tracks (the backing track and the recorded track) to see what the latency is for your setup. Then, once you're recording for real, you'll know to shift the recorded track back by that same amount.
Do you guys think this is a viable solution?
