background: a buddy and I are doing a collab. He's uses Cubase and lives in CA, I use Reaper and live in Chicago.
i record all the instruments (guitar/bass/drums) and then send him an mp3 mix of the song that he loads into Cubase and then records his vocals tracks. when he's done, he exports his vocals tracks and sends them back to me. i grab the tracks and load them back into Reaper and mix.
we've done a few songs - and since he sends back his vocals tracks as the complete length of the original MP3 i sent him - they usually line up no problem. however, one song is not lining up correctly. we've tried everything we can think of with no luck.
has anybody experienced this before? any ideas what we could be missing or tips for figuring this out?
thanks in advance.
